Top Features
Comfortable Bow Layout
The bow of this boat is designed with entertainment and versatility in mind. Features wrap around
seating with all the cushions, removable backrests, 2 easily accessible large insulated fish boxes,
drink holders and speakers to play your favorite tunes.
Bow Anchor Locker
Stow away your anchor when not in use inside this large compartment. It features a molded catch for the
anchor to keep it from falling in and the cut out for your rope on the lid makes it easy to store your
extra rope neatly inside the compartment.
Console Design & Features
The boat's console stands out as a unique aspect of its design, showcasing a stylish and contemporary appearance that perfectly complements the Sportsman design language. The console incorporates numerous ingenious components that enhance its aesthetic appeal and functionality.
The console is designed with a d-tubing hard-top frame that's extruded from a single piece of aluminum. This unique design removes the frame legs from the deck, resulting in more space around the console and a sturdy frame structure. In addition, this design provides more interior space within the console.
The starboard side of the console features the iconic Sportsman side window glass, which floods the interior space with light.
The console is wrapped with a tempered glass enclosure that includes a manually actuated vent.
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. You will also find the freshwater fill hidden under the cushion, if your
boat is equipped with the freshwater system.
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.
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.
Anti-Fatigue Helm Pad
Feel all-day comfort with our custom anti-fatigue helm pads. You will notice a difference at the end of the day, your feet will thank you for it. Custom engraved with the Sportsman logo for that extra touch.
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.
Matching Hard-Top Underside Color
A popular trend is to have the underside of the hard-top matched to the hull color, this adds additional appeal and ties in the color theme of the boat sides by bringing additional color to the cockpit area.
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.
Deluxe Leaning Post w/ Flip-Up Bolsters
Comfort and function meet when it comes to this deluxe leaning post. It is designed to accommodate two adults comfortably and features individually adjustable bolsters allowing you to operate your Sportsman standing up or in a seating position. Additional features include rod holders and cooler storage space with a strap.
Freshwater Washdown w/ Tank
Comes standard with a freshwater washdown and a 15-gallon tank. Perfect for rinsing off the deck, cleaning up after landing a fish or washing off at the sandbar. It’s a simple comfort that quickly becomes essential.
Raw Water Washdown
With its unlimited supply, it is the perfect companion for the freshwater washdown. This system pumps outside water to a water outlet where you can screw in a regular hose.
Rear Seating
When it's time to fish, the rear bench conveniently stows away to open up cockpit space and make it easier to walk
around the leaning post. The seat bottom completely removes to reveal best-in-class access to the bilge. It seats
2-3 comfortably and has a deep design for comfort.
Transom Aquarium 25-Gallon Livewell
A class first on this model is the 25-gallon aquarium livewell. This livewell fills the starboard side of the transom with a beautiful piece of glass that not only is functional for keeping a close eye on your bait but is also aesthetically pleasing and adds a yacht-like feel to this boat.
When it’s time to hit the sandbar the livewell and plug can also double as an extra cooler.
Transom Door
The transom door has a latch to secure it and it offers the convenience of not having to step over anything to enter the boat.
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.
