Entry Description

This photo is from our first offshore fishing trip in the 252 open taken in Islamorada, FL. We are out about 25 miles chasing dolphin, tuna, and hoping for a wahoo. The fishing wasn't great that day but we had a large wahoo break us off. Regardless, we had great time and enjoyed the performance of our new Sportsman! This is a serious offshore boat.

Favorite Feature

Good size to tow and big enough to venture pretty far offshore with the twin 150s. We love the ride, overall performance, deck space, Simrad electronics, and all the comfort features. The quality of this boat is second to none. Happy to own a Sportsman.
