2026 Sportsman Heritage 261 Center Console

The 2026 Sportsman Heritage 261 is a 26.5-foot center console built around social boating and water-centered design. Powered by twin Yamaha 200 HP four-stroke outboards with digital throttle and shift, the boat features electric power steering and a SeaKeeper RIDE auto trim tab system for smooth, stable handling. The fiberglass hull comes in Storm Cloud Grey with a white bottom and matching hardtop underside.

The interior layout prioritizes versatility and gathering space. The bow features deep U-shaped seating with an electronically actuated table, while the aft section offers edge-to-edge seating for up to five people. Dual side entry doors and transom walkthrough doors both open 180 degrees. The standout feature is Sandbar Mode—captain's chairs that swivel 180 degrees to face aft, allowing passengers to face the water and views while anchored. A sandbar cooler is accessible from outside, and dual boarding ladders are fitted.

Standard equipment includes two 12-inch Garmin multi-function displays flush-mounted in the black acrylic console, Garmin electronics, VHF radio, JL Audio stereo system, anchor windlass, and freshwater shower. A ski pylon deploys from the transom, and rear anchor storage on the swim platform simplifies deployment. One head is included. The boat comes with a single head. Optional upgrades include a second 12-inch Garmin display, gull wing hardtop extensions, on-board battery charger, and trolling motor plug with harness and adapter.
