Owner's Testimonials
I recently purchased a brand new Sportsman 212 Open Platinum with a 150 HP Yamaha. The fit an finish on the boat Is Impeccable. Wiring Is Immaculate; I know, because I added a second Garmin Display. We had the boat In the Pamlico Sound In 4-6 ft waves and for a 21 ft boat It took the seas like a champ with trim tabs. Albeit wet, my wife could stay In her seat. I couldn't be happier with Sportsman. I will keep this boat and sell It only when I can afford a bigger one.

The Sportsman 212 Open Platinum Is a fanatic boat that Is affordable on the average budget. It comes with a bullet proof Yamaha 150. Everything about the boat looks clean and classy. With a large range of sizes and options you'll definitely find a Sportsman that fits what you are looking for.

I couldn't be happier with the service received from Sportsman and our local dealer, Erickson Marine. Top notch professionals with product knowledge and genuine concern for your needs. Our new Open Is absolutely spectacular to look at and cuts through the Tampa Bay waters with the upgraded Yamaha VMAX SHO!

I previously owned a nice flats boat. Came home one day and my wife had found the Sportsman 212 Open. She liked that It was a full fledged fishing boat for me and yet met all her recreational comfort wants as well. After a bit of research and reading testimonies from existing owners, I went to see one In person. That was all It took. We found a dealer and ordered our new boat. We absolutely love the quality and the detail that our 212 offers. Many memories to make In this one for sure!

I’ve taken my 212 Open from Fort Lauderdale to Key Largo, In the water, and came back In 3-4 foot seas, without Issue or concern. I’m glad I got the 200 Hp engine and would suggest the same. The value Is there considering other manufacturers and the quality Is superb after owning now 10 months. I’m so planning to purchase the new 352 at some point and think I’m going to end up keeping both. No need to spend more for the same safe dry ride that stylish and efficient!

When It was time to downsize from our Sportsman, of course we chose to go with the 212. It Is the perfect boat for making the closer Inshore trips. The set up and features are exactly like our previous bigger boat. Could not be happier.

Open 212 with all the upgrades. This boat Is absolutely beautiful. The layout Is perfect for fishing or just a day out with the family. It Is obvious that Sportsman cares about their product. I have been In many boats and was pleasantly surprised at the fit and finish of their boats. I am glad I purchased a Sportsman. As of today the service has been exceptional. If they continue this amazing service, my next upgrade will be a Sportsman and the one after that!
