2026 Sportsman Open 262 Center Console

The 2026 Sportsman Open 262 is a 26-foot center console built in fiberglass, powered by twin Yamaha F200XSA2 outboards producing 400 horsepower. The boat features a solid, open layout designed for fishing and recreational cruising, with a wide 9.42-foot beam providing stable handling and usable deck space.

The electronics suite centers on Garmin navigation and sonar: a GPSMAP 1243xsv multifunction display with Bluechart G3 charts, GT15M 600-watt CHIRP transducer, Fantom 18x radar, and VHF 115 radio. The helm includes a Seastar Interact digital switching system, Yamaha autopilot, and Sportlink electronics integration. Audio comes from a Garmin Apollo RA770 premium stereo with JL Audio M6 speakers, subwoofers, and MVi amplifiers with built-in DSP. The windshield is tempered glass with vent, and navigation lights integrate into the hardtop.

Accommodations include a console with integrated 68-quart cooler seat, lockable storage, footrest with storage and pads, and helm padding. The boat carries a porcelain head with pump-out and overboard discharge, dual fuel fills, and a removable bow table with mount. Seating features bow bolsters and cushion sets. Additional equipment includes a Promariner four-bank battery charger, trolling motor plug and harness, two Scanstrut wireless phone chargers, and Seakeeper Ride Vacs. Interior LED lighting runs throughout, and a removable bow cushion set is included.
