The 2026 Sportsman Open 282 is a 28-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by three Mercury engines delivering 600 horsepower. The boat features a substantial hard-top, dual side entry doors, and dual fuel fills. The design emphasizes both comfort and offshore capability, with a refined running attitude suited to open-water conditions.
The layout prioritizes usable deck space and seating throughout. Deep, comfortable seating is positioned to take advantage of the dual-entry configuration, allowing flexible use of the cabin and helm areas. The spacious hard-top provides weather protection and visibility.
This example is finished in white hull and bottom paint with matching white powder coating and icecap white upholstery. Optional equipment available includes an Edson steering wheel, Garmin GMR Fantom 18X radar, four-bank battery charger, Seakeeper 1 gyrostabilizer, and Taco GS280 outriggers.
