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 Yamaha F300XSB engines producing 600 horsepower combined. The boat features a Snow White hull with an Explorer Blue bottom and combines open-water capability with thoughtful layout for both fishing and family use.

The helm is equipped with an Edison 13-inch stainless steel comfort grip steering wheel with power knob and the Yamaha Helm Master EX system, which includes autopilot and joystick control to simplify docking and maneuvering. Fishing-focused equipment includes Taco Outriggers GS390, electric reel outlets, a trolling motor plug with harness and adapter, and a ProMariner ProTournament Elite 3 battery charger with four banks. A stern fiberglass cockpit table provides space for dining or socializing.

The open cockpit layout provides room for crew and guests to move comfortably, with ample storage for gear and tackle integrated throughout. The design balances spacious accommodation with practical fishing capability, making the boat suitable for day trips, water sports, and offshore fishing in equal measure.
