Owner's Testimonials
I have a Sportsman 247 bay with Yamaha 300. This boat handles excellent, is a very solid and dry ride. Overall, I have been very satisfied with the quality of the boat. I looked at three other manufactures of 24'-25' bay boats prior to purchasing the Sportsman 247, over a few months looking at bay boats, I kept going back to the Sportsman for overall quality and workmanship. I have no regrets purchasing the Sportsman 247 bay.

Purchased my Masters 247 four years ago. I liked the boat so much I recently purchased a new 2020 model. The boat does everything I want it to do. I use it primarily for fishing but it also is a great family boat as well. Before purchasing I did extensive research and product comparisons. Bottom line my new boat has the best overall quality and features of any boat I researched. Also was competitively priced with other boats I considered.

Incredibly dry comfortable ride, especially for a bay boat. Prettiest lines of any boat in its class.

Really enjoying our new sportsman. A fishing machine ready off the sales lot. Fun fun fun.

We live and boat on Bogue Sound midway between Swansboro and Morehead City, NC. It isn’t unusual to have it blow up into a 2 ft chop in the late afternoon. Our old skiff would beat us up pretty bad on our way back after a day of fishing with the wet ride taking 30-35 minutes from either of our favorite areas. Our new Sportsman Tournament 234 allows us to get home in 15 smooth, dry minutes. Great ride, nice quality and an easy fishing machine. Exactly what we were looking for in a Bay boat.

I purchased a Tournament 234 to use as a secondary boat for my Charter business. The boat totally exceeds my expectations! I love it and more importantly my clients love it!

The boat has been awesome. Handles chop and goes shallow. The VMAX is the way to go. Plenty of power.

My wife and I recently purchased a 282TE - and we absolutely love it! We are avid scuba divers and fishing fanatics. We looked at many brands but Sportsman had the layout that we wanted with the coffin box and 360 degree fishability all the way around the boat. I have operated many different boats in my life as a licensed captain but never one of this quality and features available. Sportsman is a quality boat at an affordable price compared to other boat brands.

Coming out of a 32 foot center console, I was looking for a great handling boat with good fit and finish in the 28 foot class. I found it in the 282 Sportsman. The twin 200 Yamaha are fast out of the hole, run upwards of 50MPH and I cruise at better than 3mpg. Wow, that is a huge lift from what I used to spend on fuel heading 30 plus miles offshore on a regular basis. if you are looking for an open fisherman with great features and construction that won't break the bank, take a look at the Sportsman.
