When My wife and I decided to upgrade from my 204fx, I came across Sportsman at my dealership. We were undecided between the 232 and 242 because of the price increase. After a quick test ride we knew the 242 would better suit the waters we frequent. The boat has exceeded all my expectations. From the craftsmanship to the performance. Not only am I glad we found sportsman but that we went for the 242! If you are undecided between the 232 and 242 I say go for the 242.
We have owned 10 boats and the Sportsman 242 is the BEST! Extremely smooth ride in rough water. Steers and handles very well at higher speeds. I definitely recommend the Sportsman Boats and would buy another one.
We recently purchased a 24 Sportsman 242 Open. We live in the Tampa Bay area with great access to the Gulf, Bays and rivers. We wanted a dry boat since Tampa Bay gets choppy, as well as a boat with plenty of seating and beverage holders. After owning the boat for a month and taken it out in various conditions 6 times it has delivered on all of our checklist items. The boat handles very well in choppy waters, is a very dry boat with plenty of seating for cruising with friends.
We were purchasing our first boat and did a lot of research into a lot of different brands. The Sportsman Open 232 checked all of our wish list boxes and we have been extremely happy with our purchase.
Based on my purchase I feel this boat meets my needs. I can fish 5 people easy granted they all know what's they are doing can handle the waves pretty good 3 to 4s
I looked at every possible boat in this class and couldn't get enough of the Sportsman 232 Open. The smooth ride, quality of fit and finish, and the included options was unparalleled.
great product: well designed, constructed. a real pleasure to captain. Really had the angler, in mind w/design. Great for family use. Represented by a dealership that exudes professional- excellent service. making the buying experience easy and fun.
