2026 Sportsman Open 282 Center Console

The 2026 Sportsman Open 282 is a 28.4-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by twin Mercury 300 V8 engines delivering 600 horsepower combined. The boat features an Explorer Blue hull with white bottom, complemented by a fiberglass hard top with integrated LED lighting and Explorer Blue underside detail. A stainless steel Edson steering wheel with PowerKnob provides responsive control across the boat's layout.

The console includes a fiberglass liner with integrated cooler seat and serves as the command center for the boat's navigation systems: twin Garmin 16-inch GPS screens with built-in Wi-Fi. The leaning post incorporates a tackle center and sink. Serenity Sileather Icecap White upholstery covers the seating throughout, chosen for weather resistance. White powder coating is applied across the structure for durability and finish.

Deck space is designed for open movement and fishing or entertaining. Storage throughout the boat keeps gear and tackle organized and out of sight. The hull's design prioritizes a stable, dry ride while supporting the boat's maneuverability in varied water conditions.
