2026 Sportsman Open 252 Center Console

The 2026 Sportsman Open 252 is a 25-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull with a single 350-horsepower Yamaha gasoline engine. Its modern design combines a Sea Glass Green hard top with a Snow White hull bottom, delivering both style and practical protection on the water.

The layout prioritizes open space and versatility. A removable bow sundeck with cushion serves as a flexible social area, while the hard top features integrated LED lighting for day and night use. Below deck, a porcelain head with overboard discharge and pump-out system supports extended outings. Navigation is supported by a Garmin electronics suite including a GMR Fantom 18x Radome and dual GPSMAP 1243xsv 12-inch screens. An Edson 13-inch stainless steel steering wheel with PowerKnob gives responsive control, and a windlass system with anchor and 300 feet of rope simplifies anchoring.

The design balances the beam at 9.2 feet, making the boat maneuverable in tight spaces while maintaining the room needed for a full day on the water. Storage throughout the boat accommodates fishing gear, water toys, and provisions. The single-engine setup keeps fuel consumption efficient, and the overall layout puts everything within easy reach whether cruising, fishing, or entertaining.
