Owner's Testimonials
The 282 TE handles the rough water very well and comfortably. The Yamahas perform well and are fuel efficient. We love the coffin box seating. It's like sitting in your EZ chair at home. The fit and finishes of the boat are very good. Love the dark blue sides.

I wanted a fishing boat the family could enjoy as opposed to a family boat you could fish out of. The 282 tournament edition is perfect for this application. The boat rides great and is dry. We had ours custom ordered to our specs.
Walter
Sportsman is a outstanding quality and superb craftsmanship boat. Attention to detail is evident when you first take this boat out. The ride is superb and it handles like a high priced sports car. Truly a great boat for the boating enthusiast

This boat and manufacturer is one that I researched for over a year before I made a purchase. When the 282TE came out, I knew that was the perfect fit for me. This boat has not failed to deliver. I had had her out in all conditions and she has responded beautifully. She takes a heavy sea well. Fuel economy is very impressive. Electronics have performed as well. I love the auto-pilot and the depth finders have allowed me to find excellent bottom. Twin engines make maneuvering easy.

The Open 312 is the best center console boat I've owned. Great design, outstanding features and accessories, electronics are top of the line, solid high quality construction and finishes. The layout is perfect for fishing. The twin 300's provide outstanding fuel economy without compromising on performance. The wide beam and flared bow provide a smooth, comfortable and very dry ride. The management and staff of both the manufacture and the dealer is superb. Knowledgeable, accessible, & dedicated.

I purchased my 2019 Sportsman 312, with twin 350, It was easy to decide after looking at the list of electronics, auto pilot, joy stick, misters, rod holders etc... I could go on, but its going to take a while... . . basically the boat come set up for what ever you want to do, FISH, PLAY, or ENTERTAIN!! I am very impressed by all the complements from people asking "what kind of boat is that", "its the nicest boat I have seen in a long time" again I could go on! And its ride in unbelievable!!!!

My new 312 Sportsman Center Console boat outfitted with twin 300 hp Yamaha engines, the electronics and the quality of the layout and the extras is exceptional in terms of quality and function. Our dealer experience has been second to none, thanks!
Thomas
The boat has been awesome. Handles chop and goes shallow. The VMAX is the way to go. Plenty of power.
Matthew
Growing up on the water and spending majority of my time around fishing and boating activities, I have had the luxury of owning and operating majority of the boat manufactures that are available. My 2017 Sportsman 214 tournament has been one, if not, the best performing, handling and fishing friendly boats on the market today that will not break the bank.
Nicholas
Truly the best riding boat I have been in, from Triton to Champion to Gulf Coast. All excellent boats, not putting any of them down at all but the Sportsman 234T surpassed them all in my opinion.
Charles
Well made boat I have had no issues that had to be corrected. Handles great and is a dry ride in rough water. The whole purchasing process was easy and the boat was delivered on time as promised. The high sides make the boat safe for riders. Highly recommend this product you will be extremely satisfied.
