Welcome to the launch of The Sportsman Insider, a new series designed to showcase the progress of future models at Sportsman Boats. Unlike the in-depth look at each step in the boat building process seen on Behind The Glass, The Sportsman Insider is all about following the big-picture progress of new models at Sportsman Boats.

In our first episode, we highlight the start of something groundbreaking: the Open Series Flagship Model, the all-new Open 402. At 40' 4" feet, it's the largest, most advanced boat ever built by Sportsman. This is where Sportsman Design Language 3.0 begins.

You'll see the Open 402's hull come to life — from a bare mold to a fully infused foundation. Setting the stage for innovations and features never before seen on a Sportsman. This is the beginning of a new era for the Sportsman Boats, and we'll be bringing you along for every milestone.

The Open 402 Center Console is the pinnacle of Sportsman's evolution, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology, refined luxury and ultimate functionality. Starting at the transom, twin pressurized aquarium livewells, a rear fold-down seat and a spacious stern fiberglass cockpit table create a versatile fishing and entertainment space. The legendary Total Access Compartment provides effortless bilge access, while the Seakeeper Ride VACS enhances stability and ride comfort.

At the helm, a blacked-out command center houses dual Garmin GPSMAP® 9227 Chartplotters, SeaStar Interact DCM Digital Switching and a Yamaha Command Link Plus CL5 Touchscreen Display for unparalleled control. The quad premium captain's chairs with integrated fiberglass leaning post offer maximum comfort, while the rear-facing mezzanine seating provides additional relaxation space.

Inside the console, a convertible queen-sized berth transforms into a U-shaped lounge, complemented by a full galley with a microwave, Kenyon cooktop, refrigerator and Corian countertops. A private enclosed shower, porcelain head with overboard discharge and a water heater elevate onboard comfort. The space is rounded out by a 32" television, air conditioning and luxury finishes throughout.

At the bow, wrap-around seating with a removable backrest, under-gunwale storage and an electric actuated sundeck/table create the ultimate relaxation area. The recessed bow handrails, anchor windlass system and bow thruster ensure ease of use and safety in any conditions.

From bow to stern, the Open 402 redefines what a flagship center console can be, blending cutting-edge SportTech® construction, unmatched versatility and a best-in-class ride.
