Bow Controls for Anchor

For ease of use and safety, we include foot controls at the bow for launching and retrieving your anchor, making the operation a one-man job. It also makes it very easy to see your anchor, rope and chain as it is getting reeled in. The controls have a plastic cover to prevent any unintentional button presses.

Bow Layout

The bow of this boat is designed with entertainment and versatility in mind. Features wrap around seating with adjustable bow backrests, 2 easily accessible large insulated fish boxes, drink holders and speakers to play your favorite tunes.

Bow Storage

Two large storage boxes at the bow will give you plenty of places to stow away your items. They are both insulated and can be used as fish boxes or coolers.

Bow Bolsters

The included bow bolsters on this boat serve double duty. When the bow cushion bottoms are on, they provide a soft cushion to rest your back but when the boat is set for fishing, they double as knee and leg pads when fighting a fish up front.

Mid-Ship

Fiberglass Hard-Top w/ Built-In Lighting

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.

Kingfish Rod Holders

These hard-top rod holders point straight off of the side of the boat and allows you to extend your spread out further than you could with the gunwale-mounted rod holders. The height also keeps them away from any rods in a deck rod holder.

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.

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.

Helm Pod Storage Compartment

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.

Large Horizontal Window

When designing this space, it was extremely important to bring in plenty of sunlight. To achieve this, a large horizontal window on the starboard side was designed in. This flush glass design allows for the largest opening.

Dedicated Trolling Motor Battery Storage

We have put the extra space inside of the console to good use by designing-in designated trolling motor battery storage. This allows you to have the 3 trolling motor batteries tucked away from the visible console floor.

USB Plug In-Dash & 12V Receptacle

With the ever-growing demand to keep your devices charged, we include two USB plugs at the helm. The 2 included USB plugs are for charging and will keep your devices charged without interfacing with any other device. It also includes a 12 receptacle where you can plug in any cigarette-lighter style plug.

Console Top Storage

Over the top of the console, additional padded storage for small items like cell phones and USB ports.

The top of the pad has an ultra grippy non-slip surface to keep your phone in place underway and has an IPX6 waterproof sealed unit. This is the world's first waterproof wireless charge system created specifically for the marine environment.

Compass

Considered one of the Four Great Inventions, the compass remains the cornerstone of any navigation system despite our advanced digital displays. Regardless of condition, your compass provides real-time heading and when used in combination with your GPS data, it allows you to optimize fuel efficiency & improve safety. When it gets dark, there's a built-in light inside the compass for night use.

Battery Switches

Access to the battery switches has never been easier. There is a switch for each engine and one for the house. The house isolates all of your electronics, lights, amps and pumps from your engine batteries. All batteries charge simultaneously when the motors are running.

Rear Deck

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.

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.

Dual Fuel Fills

When it comes time to fuel up, this model also includes fuel fills on both sides. This allows you to pull up to the gas dock or gas station from either side with ease.

Under Gunwale Rod Racks

Flush Mount Gunwale Rod Holders

Port & Starboard Toe Rail

Located under the gunwale rod racks, the toe rail is designed as a brace point when heeling over the side of the boat to gaff or bring in a fish. You slide your toes under the bar and in conjunction with the bolster cushion, it provides a sturdy brace for your legs, even if the deck is wet or slippery.

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.

Pull Up Cleats

Self Bailing Cockpit

This important safety feature allows any water on the deck to drain overboard and not into the bilge area. Any water that seeps into the bilge, can only be pumped out by the bilge pump, which is slow at draining large amounts of water. All Sportsman Boats have a collector box drainage system that ties in all drains from the deck and redirects the water directly overboard without mechanical assistance.

Grip Tex Yacht Style Non-Skid

This texture is applied to the deck and step areas for a uniform random non-skid coat. This type of non-skid is not patterned and is easy to repair should it ever get chipped or damaged.
