2026 Sportsman Heritage 261 Center Console

The 2026 Sportsman Heritage 261 is a 26.5-foot center console powered by a single Yamaha F350XSA 350-horsepower engine. Built from aluminum construction, the boat rides on a tandem axle trailer equipped with hydraulic surge brakes and disk brakes on both axles. The helm integrates Yamaha's Helm Master EX system with autopilot, paired with a Seastar Interact DCM digital switching system and keypad control.

Electronics center on a Garmin ecosystem: a 12-inch GPSMAP 1243xsv multifunction display with BlueChart G3 charts, a GT15M 600-watt CHIRP side-imaging transducer, and a VHF 115 radio with antenna. The Garmin Apollo RA770 premium stereo works with JL Audio M6 gloss-white sport speakers and subwoofers powered by JL Audio MVi amplifiers with built-in DSP. Sportlink electronics integration ties systems together. Two Scanstrut Rokk wireless phone chargers serve the console, and audio connectivity includes USB, USB-C, and 12-volt auxiliary outlets.

The console features a tempered glass windshield with vent, integrated hard-top with Lumitec navigation lights, compass, stainless steel steering wheel with knob, and full interior LED lighting. Storage includes a lockable console compartment, console footrest with storage and pads, and a 68-quart built-in cooler seat. A porcelain head with overboard discharge and pump-out capability is installed. Bow seating comprises bolsters, cushion set, and interior pads. Dual fuel fills service the 182-gallon fuel capacity. The boat carries a Promariner Protournament Elite 3 four-bank battery charger and includes a trolling motor plug, harness, and adapter.
