Owner's Testimonials
Recently purchased a 2022 Sportsman Heritage 231 with Yamaha 250. Looks and runs great. Great attention to detail. Have used It for fishing, cruising, watching sunsets and could not ask for more. Handles the water as designed and advertised. Great In the bays and on the Gulf. Will provide years of enjoyment for the family.

The boat has good lines and Is stable and smooth In windy conditions. Overall, excited to enjoy our new boat.

I’ve been extremely pleased with this boat. The layout and functionality fit my offshore fishing needs perfectly. This boat paired with the Yamaha 250 SHO has great throttle control, responsiveness, and handles better than expected In choppy seas. All around great boat and engine pairing.
Luis R.
Couldn’t be happier with my choice to purchase a Heritage 231 platinum! It’s the perfect combination for family fun and fishing. Wouldn’t change anything about my boat or the purchase process.
Heidi G.
When comparing apples to apples I feel you can’t do better than Sportsman midrange boat with the look and feel of a high end boat
Christopher W.
This Is my second Sportsman and I can’t say enough good things about the boat and the brand! The customer service I’ve received from my local dealer and Sportsman has been top notch.
Cristino S.
The 261 Sportsman are a well-designed boat, that rides the waves very well. I would recommend spending the extra money because this Is a quality boat.
Robert M.
Ordered a Heritage 261 sight unseen In Feb'22 as a move up from our current center console based on the "Sand Bar Mode" feature set. Sand Bar Mode Is the answer to the short comings In a center console as a non-fishing family boat. Comfort, fit, finish, hardware etc. are all excellent.
John G.
Excellent boat for the family and avid fishermen alike! I would recommend without question.
Christopher B.
Very Satisfied with my new 261 Heritage. Really love this boat.
William C.
Sportsman has provided us full access to all the waters of the Chesapeake with ride, seating and features beyond our expectations!!!!!

After seeing the Sportsman 282 Center Console at a Boat show In Virginia Beach, we were Invited to take It on a sea trial by the salesperson. After one afternoon cruise, we were sold on Sportsman. We decided on and ordered the 261 Heritage based on the size and our needs. We took delivery In November of 22 and we absolutely love It! The fit and finish are amazing. The colors, options and handling of the boat exceeded our expectations. Keep up the great job Sportsman!

You will be hard-pressed to find a better boat In class versus Sportsman. I've looked at dozens of boats, and nothing Is close for the same price. Sportsman has a solid build and Is comparable to most Boats on the market, If not superior.
Steve B.
Love the Sportsman 227. Amazing boat and great buying experience.
Christopher B.
Best looking Bay In It's category. Handles great, dry ride for a bay boat. Loads of storage. Masters 227 checked all the boxes.
Marvin C.
My wife and I have been married for 35 years. We have raised five wonderful children. The kids are now grown and on their own (almost!). We knew a boat would be a large part of our new life. We love fishing, cruising, and sometimes just hanging out on the boat In and around the ten thousand Islands. We love our Sportsman!

I spent a lot of time researching Sportsman and two other manufacturers. Settled on Sportsman because of quality, value and service. Every aspect of the sale was easy and complete. Very satisfied with my choice.
Jonathan T.
Sportsman Boats, In my opinion, actually sell themselves. Awesome looking designs which always seem to turn heads and generates compliments both on the water or on my trailer.
Dale P.
I run this boat every weekend from the chain of lakes by the house to the gulf of Mexico fishing a few miles off shore. This boat takes 3-4' waves perfectly and keeps you dry. Also lets me get super shallow for the Large Mouth Bass bite In FL.
Darryl D.
Overall boat Is what I expected, options are exceptional ,very easy to use for a beginner
Steven W.
The Masters 227 Bay Boat w/Platinum package Is the most well thought out boat we looked at prior to purchasing It. It Is made to fish, has tremendous storage, and can be utilized for family recreation as well. Fit and finish Is excellent! Kudos to the Sportsman Co. for design and functionality. I will enjoy this boat for a very long time...
James D.
Love turning heads on the water. So many positive responses about this boat. It’s definitely a head turner
Scott L.
From front to back and side to side you can't get any better bang for your buck than with Sportsman.
Troy G.
Bought last December and have enjoyed this boat ;my 4th Boat. The boat Is well thought out with excellent hardware and seating. It handles the waters well and still gets In skinny water as I run a lot In the Louisiana marshes The bilge area setup Is by far the best I’ve seen - easy access to all pumps; water separator. The console Is big enough to hold extra trolling motor batteries yet still easy to walk around .
Brian M.
Sportsman Boats just keep getting better and better I have gone to a lot of boat shows Sportsman Is the best bang for your buck.
Gregory G.
Great boat and lots of fun on the water. Love the ability to get In shallow water and handles the rough stuff with ease.
Len M.
First new boat and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I looked at other boats but this one caught my eye and I knew I had to have It.
George G.
Outstanding boat. would highly recommend It to anyone. Dry riding, takes rough water well. Just an all around Great Boat.
Jeffrey L.
Originally I was looking at a different boat, I saw the Sportsman and never looked back. It Is In my opinion the nicest boat In Its class.
Kenny K.
This boat handles well, rides well, and does just about everything well. Versatile enough for the bay and can take you out for near shore fishing too. Comfortable all day fishing platform, plenty of storage for all my gear. Yamaha motor Is as good as It gets, a perfect match. For the price a great value.
Ronald S.
I purchased my Sportsman Master 227 March, 2020. It's very practical for my needs and It's one great looking boat. I primarily use It for fishing, cruising and anchoring down on a beach along the ICW. I've had many compliments about It's looks...it's definitely a head turner. The front deck Is excellent for fishing and storing fishing gear Is not a problem. Overall, I love It, that's why I named her "My Girl".
Marty L.
I knew within 5 minutes of the first sea trial I was going to purchase the boat. Great looking, functional layout and excellent handling.
Kristoffer S.
The Sportsman 227 - Great Boat that you can tell was made with quantum mind. Performance Is top notch.
Dale P.
My 228 Master with 200 VMax had all options needed. Good access In center console, bilge area, extensive seating and equipped with all storage needed. Great live wells, electronics, upholstery, surfaces and excellent engine size for this length boat. Boat hums and rides smoothly at 38-42 mph on choppy water. All onboard love the ride.
