Comfortable bow layout
The bow of this boat is designed with entertainment and versatility in mind. Features wrap around seating with all the cushions, removable backrests, 2 easily accessible large insulated fish boxes, drink holders and speakers to play your favorite tunes.
Console design and features
The boat's console stands out as a unique aspect of its design, showcasing a stylish and contemporary appearance that perfectly complements the Sportsman design language. The console is designed with a d-tubing hard-top frame that's extruded from a single piece of aluminum. This unique design removes the frame legs from the deck, resulting in more space around the console and a sturdy frame structure.
Enclosed head
Inside the console, there is a built-in lockable storage area. This enclosed space can be used as a changing room or storage of bulky items. On the back wall, there's access to all of the connections to the electronics and fuses, very convenient for quick troubleshooting. This space can also be optionally fitted with a porta potti.
Fiberglass hard-top w/ built-in lighting
One of the first things you'll notice when you look at this model is the over-sized hard-top. This top has all of the amenities you would want built in while still maintaining an elegant and timeless design.
Rear seating
When it's time to fish, the rear bench conveniently stows away to open up cockpit space and make it easier to walk around the leaning post. The seat bottom completely removes to reveal best-in-class access to the bilge. It seats 2-3 comfortably and has a deep design for comfort.
Transom aquarium 25-gallon livewell
A class first on this model is the 25-gallon aquarium livewell. This livewell fills the starboard side of the transom with a beautiful piece of glass that not only is functional for keeping a close eye on your bait but is also aesthetically pleasing and adds a yacht-like feel to this boat. When it's time to hit the sandbar the livewell and plug can also double as an extra cooler.
This model is standard with Seakeeper Ride
The Seakeeper Ride System is the first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System. This system can eliminate up to 70% pitch and roll under way.
Seakeeper Ride controllers are mounted to your Sportsman's transom, below the waterline. Using custom, proprietary sensing hardware and software, the system understands how the boat is behaving on all three axes and computes a counteracting sequence to reduce pitch, roll and yaw. As the blades are deployed, they intercept the flow of water off of the transom and create lift, correcting the vessel's motion instantaneously.
Learn how it works and more details on our dedicated Seakeeper Ride page.
