Console Design & Features
The console of this boat is a highlight of its design, featuring a sleek and modern look that follows the Sportsman design language, as well as several innovative features that enhance both form and function.
It boasts a designed-in d-tubing hard-top frame that is extruded from a single piece of aluminum. This design removes the frame legs from the deck, giving you more space around the console and a robust frame structure. Additionally, it yields more space inside the head.
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.
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.
Enclosed Head
Inside the console, there is a built-in lockable storage area. This enclosed space can be used as a changing room or storage of bulky items. On the back wall, there's access to all of the connections to the electronics and fuses, very convenient for quick troubleshooting. This space can also be optionally fitted with a porta potti.
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.
Helm Pod Storage Compartment
Under the helm pod, you will find additional storage built into the step providing you ample storage at the helm.
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.
Premium Dual Chair LP 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.
Cockpit Bolsters
For extra added comfort when fishing, the cockpit bolster cushions provide a nice soft surface to push your knees and legs into when reaching into the water or fighting a fish.
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.
In-Deck Macerated Fish Boxes
On either side of the leaning post, there are insulated and macerated in-deck fish boxes.
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.
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.
