2026 Sportsman Heritage 231 Center Console

The 2026 Sportsman Heritage 231 is a 23-foot center console built for both serious fishing and family comfort. Powered by a single Yamaha F300XSB, it carries 106 gallons of usable fuel—enough for extended runs across Tampa Bay and beyond without constant fuel stops. The 20-degree deadrise softens chop and reduces helm fatigue, while Seakeeper Ride automatically adjusts trim for better visibility and balance.

At the helm, a Garmin 12-inch GPSMAP display with CHIRP sonar handles navigation and bottom detail. SeaStar hydraulic tilt steering improves control and comfort. A dual battery setup and wireless chargers keep systems reliable without deck clutter. The console houses a porcelain head with pump-out capability, extending your time on the water.

Fishing stays practical and organized. Twin 10-gallon aquarium livewells maintain bait health. Under-gunwale rod racks and flush rod holders keep decks clear. Raw and freshwater washdowns reduce cleanup time. When fishing is done, the bow's removable table and cushion converts the forward deck for social use, while a rear bench with flip-flop backrests and a premium dual chair leaning post handle cruising comfort. A built-in swim platform with 4-step ladder provides water access.

The hull uses an advanced fiberglass stringer system without wood, reducing long-term structural risk. A self-bailing cockpit adds safety. The boat is NMMA certified and backed by a 10-year hull warranty.
