Owner's Testimonials
I bought the Heritage 21 it's the first new boat I've bought in 30 plus years. I looked at plenty of boats before buying and none had the amount of standard features that Sportsman offered. The boat looks and handles great . A GREAT BUY I'm extremely pleased with my purchase.

Over the years we have purchased 8 boats. They were all purchased new since we are so fussy we could never find anything used that suited us. We are very quality and value conscious. After looking at many of the new CC boats available we found the Sportsman Heritage 211 and were very impressed with everything about the boat. And compared to others we considered it was absolutely the best value. And our Sportsman dealer was the best .

Picked up a Sportsman Open 232. Great value for the price. The boat has done great so far. Has handled some rough seas in Long Island sound and has proven easy to drive and dock. Feels very stable when under way and when drift fishing. Has lots of features at a good price point. Equipped with the 200hp Yamaha which gets it on plane quickly and has great efficiency . Purchased at Boats Inc. in Niantic. You can go with these guys. They go out of their way to make sure the customer is happy.

Incredibly good value... As a result of my Profession (involved deeply in the Marine Industry) I have come to know quite a lot about boats in general. I am not really allowed, because of my profession, to have opinions or make comparisons vs other boat brands. I can say that the fit, finish, performance, overall appearance, very small number of "issues" and overall assembly of Sportsman Boats is an exceptional value and the Manufacturer has integrity.

I chose the Sportsman over Triton, Key West and Majek because of comparable ride quality, fit and finish and standard equipment. For me Sportsman delivered comparable performance and the best value. Nobody and no Company is perfect so I don't judge on issues but how they are addressed. Thus far I will say Sportsman and their network have stood behind the product and that speaks much higher than the minor issue I have experienced. Very happy with the product, support and Dealer. Buy one!

Bigger is better... Moved up this year from a 227 to a 247 and bigger is better. Never did I think you could us a 24' boat with a 300 in the Carolina creeks to catch bait shrimp, keep 4 quarts alive, wash up with fresh water washdown and get on to fishing. With a jack plate we go as skinny as any other smaller bay boat. Yet when we cruise to the drop we are riding in the comfort a bigger boat. The 247 is really a fine choice for coastal fishing. The changes the the Sportsman make every year just make it better.

You will not be disappointed in this boat... Best boat I have ever owned. Will do anything you want to do from fishing saltwater or fresh great tournament boat livewells are excellent for live fish weigh ins. And when you want to take the family out for a day on the water preforms great for any water sport, any very comfortable for everyone to enjoy the day. It's like having a whole fleet of boats all in one package

I love my new 23' Sportsman boat. With custom features, green/tan color scheme, and white motor that matches the top of the hull, it's the envy of all around me.

I looked at several brands & decided to purchase a Sportsman. I visited the factory in Summerville and was impressed with the high quality & standards used in the manufacturing process. It is well built & there are a lot of innovations & attention to detail in the design. The boat rides well in choppy water. The bow design is perfect for Charleston waters. Plenty of seating for entire extended family (seating for 12). The Simrad electronics package is easy to use. Nice lighting package!
