Owner's Testimonials
We purchased our 212 Open Platinum about a year ago and we are extremely satisfied with the purchase overall. The boat not only looks fantastic but rides great, even In 2-3 ft seas! The Interior layout Is good for fishing as well as just loading up the family and cruising/hitting the beaches!

My 2021 Sportsman 212 Open Platinum Is everything I expected It to be and more. The fit and finish of this boat far exceeds other boats In It's class. The 200 Yamaha on the back powers the boat effortlessly. The trim tabs are lifesaver as well, especially with crosswinds.

So far I love my new Sportsman. I’ve owned many larger boats and wanted to downsize . This boat rides well for her size and feels solid. Well laid out for fishing and powered with 150 hp Is perfect. I feel It Is a good value for the money .

This Sportsman boat Is awesome. Very fun, handles rough water well, mostly dry unless It's windy. I looked at many boats and glad I went with Sportsman. Lots of room for storage, and has a great livewell.. The Yamaha motor Is very powerful and starts right away every time even If It's been months since I used It last.

We are extremely happy with a purchase of our Sportsman 212. Our girls love being able to ride In the bow as they both have their seats they have picked out. It Is also nice having the extra room to take friends and family along too and not being to cramped on space. Fit and finish Is great! The boat handles all waters well! We compared the build sheet/specs to numerous other boat manufacturers and no one could compete with Sportsman's offerings.
Sheila B.
The quality of build, comfort of ride, and features made Sportsman stand tall above the “competition”. Our only regret Is that we can’t boat daily! It feels amazing to ride up and down the waterway on the prettiest boat afloat!

Sportsman boats are a quality boat with a lot of value for the money. Check out their website and watch their documentary series called " Behind the Glass". This Is an extremely Informative marketing approach, highlighting the manufacturing process performed In making each Sportsman boat. This gave me the confident In choosing Sportsman and I'm too glad I did!!!
Matthew C.
My wife and I looked for a boat for about two years. We went to boat shows and looked at many brands. The workmanship and finish quality of the Sportsman made us keep coming back to the Sportsman. We have only had her since October, but had her In the water twice. We couldn’t be happier with our Sportsman. Thank you to Sportsman.

Boat handles great. Plenty of room for relaxing and or fishing
Pamela H.
Coming from a much larger boat I was very hesitant about getting Into a smaller center console. I wanted something I could hop on and off with out all the hassles of spending hours cleaning the boat after a day of fishing. I am so pleasantly surprised how well this 232 handles the conditions of Cape Cod waters. I have no problem going out In a two to three foot sea with confidence. The 232 has a great beam and fantastic deep V flare. The boat Is basically maintenance free. Tie up wash down
Thomas S.
I was looking for a new boat that fit me. Being six ft four I found many on the new boats had t-tops that would scalp me If I was constantly ducking. I found that Sportsman was willing to build a boat with a t-top and was willing to remove the cost of the top from the purchase price. Combining that with quality build materials, great motor choices and a beautiful finish I was sold on the Sportsman 232.
Curtis B.
Happy to finally be part of the Sportsman family for years to come! Love our 232!
Charles B.
Very Happy with our 23 Open. Great features an functionality.
Monica S.
This Is the third new boat I have owned, but the first true fishing boat. I fish on the Chesapeake Bay and It can get rough. The trim tabs make for a smooth ride by putting the bow down so that the boat can slice through the water. The electronics make me feel safe to go anywhere, Including a trip out to Tangier Island at the spur of the moment. No problem going the 14 miles Into the Bay and coming back. I did not think I would be a fan of a hard top, but now I am. Overall a great boat.
Daniel R.
This Is our 2nd Sportsman boat. I don’t see us going with any other brand. Great boats at a great price.
Richard M.
No other boat will give you the same options at quality at the same Price

Awesome decision by our family to purchase the 232 Open. The wife and I wanted to make more memories with our children as they grow up so fast. Thank you Sportsman Boats for making a fine boat for our family time on the water.
David d.
This group has created the most complete family fun and power fishing boat made. Sharp looks. Stability In heavy seas. Well equipped. Paired electronics and performance. I can be an avid fisherman and awesome for the family! Thank you Sportsman, I couldn't have done better
Jonathan M.
The 232 Open Is a great family and fishing boat. The boat handles very well and offers a very smooth ride.
Howell M.
There Is no better boat for the money than a Sportsman. Quality construction with lots of standard features, also many options to add on to personalize your boat.
Stephen B.
The Sportsman family of boats will certainly earn my business when I upgrade my current Sportsman 232 to a 252. I am extremely happy with how the boat performs offshore and Inshore. It Is apparent Sportsman wants to earn your business for life.
Scott C.
I have owned quite a few boats, but the finish and quality on my Sportsman 232 Open Is second to none thus far. The Yamaha power matched package 250 Is crazy responsive and efficient for a boat of this size. . Whole experience thus far has been great, Including the purchase.
Margaret F.
This Is a great boat for the money. Runs great and very comfortable
Kevin H.
Absolutely love the boat and salesman and all staff at dealership were amazing
Alvaro C.
I have owned several boats over the last 35 years but the Sportsman boat by far has the best ride and standard features of any boat on the market for the money. This Is the best ride It handles rough water great and feels like It has shocks built Into the bottom of this boat. Not only a great but a dry ride I would and have already recommended the Sportsman to many friends!
Robert D.
Our new Sportsman Open 232 Is an absolutely Incredible rig. It's design makes It so easy to handle, use, fish, or just hang out. There are so many small details of the boat that are fantastic, but you don't even realize they are there until you're out there using It! Definitely worth every penny!
Shay b.
Second Sportsman boat.. Excellent construction, design and performance. Excellent product Improvements/ modifications over seven year period . Use the boat offshore up to 25 miles. Great solid handling
Daniel J.
Our 231 Open Is a GREAT boat!!!! thoroughly satisfied!!!
Kevin C.
This was our first season owning a boat and we are really pleased with our Sportsman. Being new to boating we wanted something big enough to hold 10 people but sized for new boaters to maneuver easily. The 23' was very easy to dock & maneuver with more than enough speed for all our activities while having plenty of seating and storage for all our gear. Great Boat!
Davis D.
Room, reliability, cool options all Included, easy, handles all water activity and conditions, well known for easy service, reliable and great support and service.
Ken C.
I absolutely love my Sportsman 232 Open Platinum boat. It does every thing I ask It to do from scalloping, catching big reds or cruising down the St Johns River. My girlfriend and I put the boat In and take It out with no difficulties. Really enjoying It!!
Steven A.
The Sportsman 232 Open has been an absolutely amazing boat for us! It’s versatility and handling has allowed us to enjoy both off shore fishing and family time at the sandbar!
Todd L.
Prior to my retirement, I had done extensive research to match the boat I wanted, to the boat I could afford. Fishing and cruising with family and friends were the most Important. After seeing a friend's boat, I went to boat shows and did online research. The Sportsman 232 was the best bang for my buck and I have not been disappointed.
Caridad D.
Outstanding quality. Easy use for driver and passengers. Great features but not too complicated. Just what you need! Love my Ice blue. 250hp Yamaha engine perfect for the 23 footer. Buy one!
Daniel B.
Owned the boat for several months now, have had no Issues with the vessel to date and often take It 20+ miles off shore. Reliable and had great tech features.
Jeff L.
The boat Is great and very enjoyable for our family and friends. This boat Is excellent for fishing on the Great Lakes, "Michigan".

Recently purchased a 2021 Sportsman 232 Open Platinum edition. Having shopped many local dealerships and other brands Sportsman really had everything I wanted at a very competitive price. I can't recommend Sportsman enough! Go out and get one today!!
