2026 Sportsman Heritage 261 Center Console

The 2026 Sportsman Heritage 261 is a 26.5-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single Yamaha F350XSA engine producing 350 horsepower. The boat features a half tower with a second helm station, providing elevated sightlines and a second control position. Its Sea Glass Green hull sides contrast with a Snow White hull bottom, while the hardtop matches in Sea Glass Green. The helm includes an Edson 13-inch stainless steel steering wheel with PowerKnob for responsive handling.

Electronics and navigation are comprehensive. The second station is equipped with a Garmin GMR Fantom 18x Radome radar and a Garmin GXM 54 SiriusXM Weather Antenna for real-time weather information. The center console layout places the helm at the boat's centerline, with the engine mounted aft.

The deck is arranged for fishing and entertaining, with open gunwales and seating throughout. Coastal Beige upholstery pairs with white powder-coated accents. The boat includes organized storage for gear and tackle. At 9.4 feet wide, the beam provides stable handling and adequate workspace. The single-engine setup prioritizes fuel efficiency alongside straightforward maintenance.

Built to withstand both saltwater and freshwater use, the Heritage 261 combines practical center console design with premium fixtures and modern electronics.
