2026 Sportsman Open 282 Center Console

The 2026 Sportsman Open 282 is a 28-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by twin Yamaha engines producing 600 horsepower. Designed with a focus on offshore capability and family comfort, the boat features a distinctive sleek shear line, an oversized fiberglass hard-top with integrated D-tubing frame, and dual side entry doors for convenient access. The hull incorporates an advanced fiberglass stringer system with no wood, self-bailing cockpit, and a built-in swim platform with four-step ladder.

The console and helm are fully equipped with integrated tempered glass windshield, Garmin electronics including dual 16-inch multifunction displays, charter-grade navigation systems, and JL Audio sound with amplifiers. Navigation features include an anchor windlass system with 300 feet of line, Garmin VHF radio, and SeaStar Interact digital switching. The boat carries a 230-gallon fuel tank and includes a 20-gallon freshwater tank with washdown systems.

Accommodations emphasize comfort and fishing capability. Deep seating throughout includes premium leaning post with built-in tackle center and sink, a 90-quart console cooler seat, removable bow cushion filler board, electric actuated bow sun deck with table, and rear fold-down seating. Two 30-gallon pressurized aquarium livewells, dual in-deck macerated fish boxes, and under-gunwale rod racks support serious fishing. Additional features include six flush-mount gunwale rod holders, LED interior lighting, and Sileather marine-grade upholstery throughout.

The hull benefits from AlloChrome4200+ stainless fasteners, grip-tex non-skid decking, integrated hard-top navigation lights, and a 10-year hull warranty. Four Discover AGM traction batteries power the systems, with dedicated trolling motor battery storage. The boat is finished in light hull color with matching hard-top underside.
