Bow Layout

Actuated Bow Sun Deck / Table

table. At the top position, it serves as a table. Lower it to the middle position and snap-in the
additional cushion for the sun deck function. When not in use, lower it flush to the floor for an
obstruction-free deck.
Console Front Seat
Comfortable console-front seat with backrest.
Console Front Cooler
Flip the bottom cushion of the console-front seat to reveal an insulated cooler. Conveniently located
for those sitting up front.
Fiberglass Hard-Top w/ Built-In Lighting
One of the first things you’ll notice when you look at this model is the over-sized hard-top. This top has all of the amenities you would want built in while still maintaining an elegant and timeless design.
Hard-Top D-tubing Frame Structure
The 4-legged frame swoops seamlessly from the console up to the top and the design gives it immense structural stability. The class-first D-Tubing structure is not cut and welded as typically done, but rather it is bent and extruded out of a single piece of D-Tubing.
Integrated Tempered Glass Windshield w/ Manual Vent
Made out of high-quality tempered glass, the integrated windshield protects the helm of excessive wind and rain while maintaining excellent air flow. The top section opens up manually to let in cool air. The glass is extremely easy to clean and will never fade, yellow or deteriorate.
Hard-Top Molded-In Navigation Lights
When the sun goes down, molded in navigation lights can be found at the front corners of the hard-top. This location keeps them out of the way and completely unobstructed.
Enclosed Head
Inside the console, there is a built-in storage area. This enclosed space can be used as a changing room or storage of bulky items.
Electric Porcelain Toilet w/ Discharge
Standard feature on this boat is a freshwater electric porcelain toilet with overboard discharge along
with an on-board holding tank. Once the toilet flushes, it gets piped into the holding tank. From there,
where legally allowed, a push of a button discharges the tank. Making this a very easy and convenient
way of having a fully functional toilet on your boat.
Console Footrest w/ Pads
The console has molded in steps to offer a place to put your feet while the boat is underway. They are topped with custom pads with the Sportsman logo.
Premium Adjustable Captain's Chairs
Comfort and function meet when it comes to these premium captain's chairs. Designed with versatility in
mind, it can accommodate two adults comfortably. The individually adjustable flip-up bolsters offers the
convenience to allow you to stand or sit and the armrests add that extra comfort touch. Wrapped in
our Sileather fabric, this is a very luxurious helm chair, that feels as
good as it looks.
For this model, we install the chairs on a 180° swivel mount which allows the chairs to rotate aft. You'll love this feature at the sandbar!

Aft-Facing Footrests

footrest. For those seating across the back, it also serves as a comfortable footrest.
Rear Seating

Aft-Facing Rear Seats & Transom Walk-Through
The outer seats pop out and can be inserted in the other direction. This opens up a world of possibilities at the
sandbar and is a great place to enjoy the views. The entire assembly can also be completely removed for an
obstruction-free entry way on one or both sides.
Rear Total Access Hatch
The rear Total Access Hatch gives you the ability to have large storage that's still incredibly easy to
access. it's the perfect place for your life jackets, extra anchor, safety equipment, scuba gear and
anything else you may need. When empty, it offers best-in-class access to your essential pumps and
seacocks.
Side Entry Doors w/ 180° Swing
Two are certainly better than one, at least when it comes to side doors. The side entry doors are a versatile
feature that will quickly become one of your favorites and you'll love the ability to board from either side. Our
side entry doors are part of the hull and deck mold. We designed them in this way to guarantee that they have the
necessary structural reinforcements needed. Our stringer system supports the door and a large heavy duty hinge hangs
the door. Special on this model is the ability to swing the side doors a full 180° swing.
Transom Aquarium 16-Gallon Livewells
Talk about the "WOW" factor with this pair of aquarium 16-gallon livewells. The two rear seats hide the lid and can
be easily removed for easy access. The livewells are insulated and are sure to meet the needs when the time comes.
They can also double as coolers for drinks and food. They can be operated together or separate with the pressure
selector valve inside.
Telescoping Ski Tow Bar
For this model, we have a built-in ski tow bar system that easily stows away when not in use. The entire system is designed-in and ties into a dedicated pod built into the stringer system for the strongest mounting point. This standard feature allows for many different on-water uses including skiing, towing a tube or pulling a wakeboard.
Twin Boarding Ladders
When it comes to re-boarding, you've got plenty of choices including telescoping ladders on both sides of the boat.
This feature will sure come in handy at the sandbar. The ladders stows away recessed into the deck.
Sandbar Cooler
When it comes to refreshments, quick & convenient access is key. We have you covered in this area with a built-in
sandbar cooler. This insulated cooler box can easily be accessed from outside of the boat and keep the family
hydrated all day.
Sandbar Stern Anchor
Every avid weekend sandbar goer knows that setting the boat at the perfect angle is key to a successful outing.
We've included a stern anchor compartment to make that task a breeze. The boat even comes standard with the proper
anchor, rope and chain to get the job done from day 1. This is a must-have feature for any sandbar outing.
