Premium Sileather® Marine Silicone Fabrics
All Sportsman Boats feature Sileather® Marine silicone-coated fabrics. These high-performance fabrics are designed to be tough and durable and able to withstand even the harshest of conditions.
Offered in Desert Tan, Ash Gray and Polar White.
Enhanced Transom Angle
In the pursuit of the best shallow water performance, our Tournament series bay boats have an increased angle at the transom. This allows the engine to trim down a little bit further, minimizing bow lift during take off. This decreased bow lift decreases how much the engine can bury down into the bottom in extremely shallow conditions.
Performance Planing Hull w/ Pocket
This hull features a pocket at the transom that effectively moves the keel of the boat further forward. This design creates more separation between the lowest point of the hull and the engine's propeller. The added benefit is reduced prop wash and better prop bite when running at speed in shallow conditions.
Swim Platform w/ 3-Step Ladder
Easily board your boat from the port side with the standard 3-step ladder. It stows away recessed into the swim platform when not in use and has grab rails on either side for ease of boarding.

Step Storage Box
The step leading up to the bow doubles as a storage compartment. This is the perfect spot for extra small gear that you may need stowed away.

Interior LED Lighting Package

Rub Rail Navigation Lights
Traditionally, navigation lights are mounted somewhere on the bow in the form of a top mount or pop-up light but this exposes them as an easy damageable target. Our rub rail navigation lights are LED, super bright and barely noticeable. The lights are integrated into the rub rail on either side of the bow and provide the ultimate obstruction free installation.
Pull Up Cleats
High quality Gemlux pull-up cleats are standard throughout the boat. They offer a flush installation and very smooth operation.
Self Bailing Cockpit
This important safety feature allows any water on the deck to drain overboard and not into the bilge area. Any water that seeps into the bilge, can only be pumped out by the bilge pump, which is slow at draining large amounts of water. All Sportsman Boats have a collector box drainage system that ties in all drains from the deck and redirects the water directly overboard without mechanical assistance.
Grip Tex Yacht Style Non-Skid
This texture is applied to the deck and step areas for a uniform random non-skid coat. This type of non-skid is not patterned and is easy to repair should it ever get chipped or damaged.
High Speed Livewell Pick Up
As the name suggests, high speed pick ups ensure that your livewell is receiving a consistent water supply even at high speeds. The scoop shape design directs water into the intake and reduce air locks at high speeds. Additionally, the strainer design on the scoop provides filtering of large debris.
