 The Open Series is the most extensive range of boats in the Sportsman lineup. It features models from 21 feet all the way up to the Open 352 which sparked an entire redesign of the Sportsman lineup. The Open Series is dedicated to crafting the finest family fishing boats in the market. Today we are proud to introduce you to the 2024 Open 232 Center Console. For specifications this brand new haul is 23 feet four inches with an eight foot six inch beam, 106 gallons of fuel, a 10 person capacity, 20 degree dad rice at the transom and a 16 inch draft. The Open Series of boats is built using our preparatory SportTech advanced fabrication process utilizing composite materials and no wood. This boat comes back with a transferable 10-year haul limited warranty and is NMMA certified. This certification ensures that this boat adheres to the highest safety standard guidelines set by the ABYC bringing you the peace of mind that you're purchasing a high quality and safe boat for you and your family. For a detailed look at how our boats are built check out our series behind the glass where we explore our build process in great detail. To suit your personal style we offer a range of colors for the hull side, hull bottom and hardtop underside as well as standard powder coating in white or black. When it comes to the boats upholstery material quality and durability are essential that's why we use side leather marine silicon coated fabrics in all of our boats. These fabrics are resistant to UV, salt spray, stained, cold cracking and even hydrolysis. Side leather fabrics don't contain plasticizers which can be a breeding ground for bacteria. We offer three color options white, desert tan or ash gray and feature our diamond stitch accent pattern. At the bow of the Open 232 we've created a great seating area with ample storage underneath the seats and it does clean up really nicely when it's time to fish. Stepping up to the bow you're greeted by the large wraparound seating. This area is the perfect area to lounge while cruising. Lay out at the sandbar or have a quick afternoon sack around the removable table. By removing the leg the table can be lowered halfway and covered with the cushion, transforming the bow into a spacious sun pad that is perfect for sunbathing on hot summer days. The bow of the boat has ample storage space with two large boxes located under the seats that also double up as dry storage. Our newly designed paddle style latches on the lids allows for easy access into the storage boxes even when the sun pad is in use. Located at the center of the bow you'll find a very spacious in-floor storage box. Removing the bow filler cushion gives you easy access to the anchor locker compartment. To secure the anchor and prevent it from falling simply open up the compartment and locate the anchor tray. This model does have an option for a through-hole windless anchoring system, a curved grab handle for safety, plenty of cupholders and speakers for playing your favorite tunes wrap up the bow area. The console is a unique aspect of the design of this boat. It perfectly complements the sportsman design language and it is both stylish and contemporary. We've designed in all the components into it to enhance the functionality. The front side of the console is equipped with a two-person seat that comes with a backrest. Underneath the bottom cushion there is a 20 quart insulated cooler that doubles up its dry storage when not in use. The console is designed with a detubing hardtop frame that is extruded out of a single piece of aluminum. This unique design removes the frame legs from the deck resulting in more space around the console and a sturdy frame structure. In addition this design provides more interior space within the console. The starboard side of the console features the iconic sportsman side window glass which floods the interior space with light. The console is wrapped with a tempered glass enclosure that includes a manually actuated vent. Moving aft of the console front seat you have the console side entry door. It's designed on the side of the console to give you access to it even when the boat is underway. Inside you'll find plenty of storage space as well as easy access to the back of the electronics. At the forward area you'll find designated trolling motor battery storage. This allows space for three trolling motor batteries tucked away from the visible console floor providing a more streamlined and uncollected appearance. If you don't opt for a trolling motor this space provides great additional storage. Accessing the electrical components of the boat is a breeze thanks to the large opening and easily accessible design behind the helm. Our boat in a box 2.0 rigging system is a standout feature of this boat providing a clean and easy to maintain electrical hub. The electronics are mounted on boards making it easy to perform maintenance or make repairs without having to dismantle or remove any of the major components. This innovative system is designed to minimize maintenance requirements. To power all of the onboard electronics we've equipped this model with a dual battery setup and switch to provide maximum reliability. A standout option on this model is the enclosed head with overboard discharge and pump out system. This type of system is not typically found on a boat of this size making it a highly appreciated option for any family. When designing the console for this boat the helm area received a ton of attention to both optimize comfort as well as ergonomics. This boat features our sport link electronics package which is a factory installed electronics package that comes standard with every single sportsman boat. This package also features additional warranties and perks exclusive to sportsman boat owners. The dash of this boat is equipped with the latest Garmin electronics including the powerful 1243 xsv 12 inch gps sonar combo with a Garmin GT 12m chirp through hull transducer. This brand new transducer offering from Garmin features 350 watts of power a water temperature sensor and a bandwidth of 80 to 100 kilohertz. For those looking for even more high-end look and feel an optional second gps sonar combo is available to fill up the dash. For a high quality stereo experience we provide a Garmin Fusion Apollo 670 head unit paired with eight top-of-the-line Garmin Fusion speakers. Our audio system is enhanced by the latest DSP technology including our exclusive sport tune audio system which delivers exceptional audio performance that will leave you amazed. If you're looking to take your audio experience to the next level we offer an upgrade that includes additional subs and amps to enhance the sound system. This upgrade will provide you even more immersive and powerful audio experience that will elevate your time on the water. When you took a look at this home you'll notice the absence of the traditional 12 volt switches. That's because this boat is equipped with the M-Power digital switching platform. The M-Power system brings intuitive control easy to use interfaces and added reliability to the boat's electrical system. To ensure added convenience we've designed a custom sportsman keypad with the top 12 frequently used functions at your fingertips. For even greater reliability the system can be operated independently of the screen through the keypad or through the emergency bypass panel located behind the dash. This triple redundancy will bring you peace of mind and provide the ultimate in-vessel monitoring and control. Other convenience features include a tilt helm with a sportsman stainless steel wheel. Above the console we have two storage cubbies that are perfect for storing small items such as phones and wallets. At the center there is a compass with a built-in light and a wireless phone charger on the port side cubby. We wrap up the helm area with a sportsman helm pad. This pad provides a finishing touch that is both comfortable and stylish. The hard top frame on this model has gone through meticulous engineering and features robust detubing construction. The top features built-in navigation lights with the design that positions them completely off the deck for an unobstructed installation. This boat also comes equipped with a Garmin VHF-115 radio and an antenna mounted on a ratcheted mount. The standard configuration includes space for four speakers on the hard top. The spreader lights on the hard top provide deck work lights for early morning or late night trips. To complete the top we've added rocket launchers across the back providing ample space for up to five fishing rods. Additionally you will find kingfish rod holders on port and starboard. When designing the all-new Open 232 we paid close attention to comfort in every aspect. This powder coated leaning post features adjustable bolsters and provides comfort for both the captain and the passenger. Allowing them to effortlessly transition between sitting and standing positions while operating the helm. The aluminum frame design provides several additional features for storage underneath. Across the back you'll find four additional rod holders. In addition for those in need of extra tackle storage our under-leaning post tackle storage option is available. Today we are showcasing our boat equipped with the optional slide-out track. This track fits a Yeti 65 quart cooler and other similarly sized coolers. On the side of the leaning post frame you'll find easy to reach grab handles for safety. Moving our attention over to the gunnels you'll find molded in rod racks for storage up to three rods on each side. For quick and easy cleanups while you're out our boats are equipped standard with both a raw water washdown system located beneath the starboard side and a freshwater system located beneath the port side. The freshwater system features a 15 gallon tank and a fill that can be found under the port side gunnel. Over the top flush gemlux rod holders and gemlux pulle cleats. We've added cockpit bolster cushions to our boats to enhance your comfort while fishing. These cushions provide a soft support for your knees and legs when you're reaching into the water or fighting a fish. The open series is known for its beautiful aquarium rivals that fill the transom and the Open 232 stands true to that design. Following the design of the Open series the flip down seat maximizes the cockpit space for fishing and family activities. When it's time to cruise the seat easily folds down revealing a comfortable two person bench seat. When it's time to fish though easily gives yourself plenty of room around the leaning post by folding the bench up and storing it flush with the transom. A class first on the Open 232 is a 25 gallon aquarium live well. This live well fills the starboard side of the transom with a beautiful piece of glass that is not only functional for keeping a close eye on your bait but it is also aesthetically pleasing and adds a yacht like feel to this 23 foot center console. When it's time to hit the sandbar the live well can double up as an extra cooler. Moving our attention to the port side of the boat you'll notice we've designed a transom walkthrough. This safety feature eliminates the need to step over when boarding the boat. Tied with a telescoping boarding ladder is great for boarding the boat or keeping everyone safe while playing at the sandbar. To step up to the transom features a convenient sandbar feature. One of the most forgotten items when heading to the sandbar is a stern anchor. So to make things easier we've included a stern anchor with road in the step storage box. For any maintenance on the boat you'll love the best in class bilge access. Simply remove the rear bench seat and you'll find a large access to the critical components of the boat. One more safety feature hidden within the rear deck is the self bailing cockpit which allows any water on the deck to drain overboard and not into the bilge. All sportsman boats have a collector box drainage system that pipes water directly overboard without mechanical assistance. To wrap up the rear section we wanted to offer something the whole family would love. So we designed in support for the optional telescoping ski tow pole. In the down position it's completely out of the way but with a single motion you get a sturdy ski tow bar for tubing, skiing, weight boarding and many other fun water activities. When we say designed in we mean it. This ski tow bar ties into the stringer system for both strength and rigidity. We've been able to design a ton of new features into this all new Open 232 but one of the more noticeable changes is the horsepower ratings for this model. For power you have choices starting at 250 horsepower with the option to go all the way up to 300 horsepower. Select engine packages are also available with integrated steering. One of the most exciting features of this model is the designed in integration with the all new sea keeper ride system which represents a game changer for boat performance and handling. Using advanced technology this system eliminates up to 70% of pitch and roll providing a smooth and stable ride that enhances comfort control and confidence on the water. If you're interested in seeing the sea keeper ride system in action and learning more about how it revolutionizes a boat's performance and handling be sure to check out our series of videos on the topic. You can find the link to those videos in the description below. For those who like to cruise at night in style you'll love the standard lighting package which includes a pair of blue Lumetech underwater lights for added ambience and safety. The deck is also well lit with our interior LED lighting package creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for you and your guests. Whether you're out for an evening cruise or enjoying a night of fishing our advanced lighting system is sure to impress. Designed to be the ultimate family fishing boat it brings fit finish and amenities not seen in boats in this category. When it comes to offshore fishing trips it checks every box and when it's time for the family to jump on board you'll find plenty of comfortable seating throughout and even storage for multiple anchors making sandbar trips a breeze and the best part it's all wrapped up in an easy-to-trailer 23 foot center console.
