Owner's Testimonials
I research all major purchases between consumer reports and online. When we decided to upgrade to a new boat and after researching other brands Including friends boats our local dealer Introduced us to Sportsman! We were surprises on all the added features and thought that went Into the design and layout of the boats and It was a no brainer to purchase a Sportsman boat.

I have been looking for a boat for several years and compared many different brands but always came back to the Sportsman Boat for Its looks, comfort and gear. It was a great choice and have really enjoyed being on the water In It. It Is definitely a “head turner "on the water.
Jeffrey L.

We looked long and hard to find a boat that would meet all of our needs. The Sportsman 231 Heritage has far exceeded our expectations. We have adult children, spouses, and grandchildren. We wanted a boat that we could comfortably take In our central Florida lakes, rivers, and coastlines. This boat seats 12 comfortably! We wanted to ski, fish, sand bar, cruise, deep water fish, and scuba. This was a lot to ask from one boat, but Sportsman did It for us!
Deana H.
This boat Is perfect for us. Price point was exceptional with many standard features which are often upgrades for other boats. It Is versatile and great for cruising, fishing, pulling up to the beach or just having dinner on the boat at the dock. Great for the kids, my wife and even our golden retriever loves It. Can't wait for boat season to begin soon!

I have been around various family boat all of my life and finally had the opportunity to purchase MY first new boat. I could not be more pleased with my decision to purchase the 23 ft Sportsman Heritage. I knew the design was meant to keep my family safe and comfortable. The ride and handling are Impressive In chop and even when offshore winds pick up and things get dicey.

Overall great experience from walking Into the door to delivery! Sportsman, truly provided high quality service!
Amanda F.
Superb boat. Rides better and has more standard features and better fit and finish than “more elite” boats twice the cost. Great size for a family of four to five with friends.

From the first contact with the dealership to today has been an absolute positive experience. The Heritage 231 was shown thus far to be better than expected and Is getting used multiple times a week between fishing and just cruising. Best boat purchase I could have made!!! Thank you Sportsman!!!!

We recently purchased the 2020 Sportsman Heritage Platinum edition, and are very pleased with our purchase. But the Sportsman had all the equipment that we needed, looked great, performed well, and was at the right price. We are very happy with our decision and so far the boat has exceeded our expectations.

Wow - am I ever glad I bought the 2021 Sportsman 231 Heritage! Beautiful boat with Incredible fit and finish, attention to details for every drain, hatch seal, console arrangement, seating and tons of storage space.

Stephen G.
Great company, Great boat, great dealer, excellent value. Fits our families needs perfectly.
Raymond H.
During our search we compared every boat we looked at to the Sportsman 231. No boat In our price range came close to the fit and finish, and standard features available on the Sportsman. Yes, some were less expensive but came with a lot less options for a comparable price to the Sportsman. Once we took delivery of our new boat I was beyond happy with our purchase. The 231 Heritage offers a smooth dry ride and the list of standard features Is unmatched by any other manufacturers for the price.

231 Sportsman Heritage - great boat. highly recommend getting the 250 Yamaha with digital controls. performance Is excellent. good fuel economy as well. Well constructed.
Kevin M.
We've enjoyed our Sportsman for It's versatility. Whether It's Inshore or offshore fishing, entertaining guests, beach trips or pleasure cruising; our 231 Heritage has a lot of power from the Yamaha 250XCB while still being a dry and smooth ride through chop. For the price and quality, I highly recommend putting Sportsman on your short list.

I bought a 2021 Heritage 231 a year ago. It was my first boat and I couldn’t be more satisfied with It. I had no boating experience and quickly felt like I had been boating my entire life which Is a credit to the quality, stability, and the boats overall ease of use.

John R.
We bought a 2020 231 and It has been nothing but great for our 70/30 sandbar and fishing split. Great to bring the family along as well as go out trolling or crabbing In the Chesapeake. Rides well In rough water, lots of space In bow for kids, great bilge access, and unbeatable quality at the price point.
Alan J.
We needed a balanced boat to meet the wants and needs of the family. We all love to fish and the 231 Heritage checked all of those boxes for fishing but we also wanted a comfortable riding boat with great seating for those days of Island hopping and lazy days at the sandbar. This boat has been an excellent choice for our family. Keep up the great work Sportsman!
