  • A compact 21 ft 5 in center console that delivers fishability, ride quality and family-friendly versatility.
  • Built with 100 percent composite SportTech construction and a fiberglass stringer system for durability and efficient performance.
  • Integrated SportLink electronics with Garmin and an open cockpit layout with large livewell and ample storage for easy fishing and cruising.

The Open 212 is built as a compact center console that still delivers the fishability, ride quality and features expected from a much larger boat. At 21 feet 5 inches in length with an 8 foot 6 inch beam, it carries a wide, stable platform that gives you confidence whether you’re fishing, cruising or spending time with family.

With a 16 inch draft, the Open 212 is capable of working shallow water while still maintaining the ability to run comfortably across bays and coastal waters. A 70 gallon fuel capacity, with approximately 60 gallons usable, gives the boat enough range to extend your day beyond short trips without sacrificing efficiency.

The hull design plays a major role in how the boat performs. With an 18 degree deadrise at the transom, the Open 212 delivers a smooth and controlled ride for its size while maintaining stability at rest. It’s a balanced design that allows the boat to handle changing conditions without losing its versatility.

That performance starts with how the boat is built. Every Open 212 is constructed using Sportsman’s SportTech® advanced fabrication approach, built with 100 percent composite construction and a fully integrated fiberglass stringer system. This creates a strong, consistent structure that holds up over time and delivers a solid feel underfoot.

At the helm, the Open 212 integrates the SportLink® electronics system, connecting Garmin electronics, switching and onboard systems into a single interface. This keeps the dash clean and organized while giving you full control and visibility over navigation and onboard systems.

From a fishing standpoint, the layout is designed to maximize space and usability. An open cockpit, large livewell and integrated storage allow you to fish comfortably, while forward seating and storage make it just as functional for cruising or spending time at the sandbar.

The Open 212 is a highly versatile platform that delivers more capability than its size suggests. It’s easy to handle, efficient to run and built to support a wide range of activities on the water.
