 When it comes to offshore fishing, the cockpit layout is key. The all-new Open 282TE center console is fine-tuned with 360 degrees of open cockpit space. This design offers the best of all worlds and allows for the ultimate layout. As a leader in innovation for the center console market, we've designed a boat that sets new standards. In staying true to the sportsman family-friendly theme, this boat still packs a punch in creature comforts. The all-new Sportsman Open 282TE will impress everyone that steps aboard. The Open 282TE has been designed from the ground up to be a completely new package, bringing new features and amenities never seen before in this class of boat and revolutionizing this segment. This yacht certified vessel measures in at 28 feet 5 inches of length and a wide 9 foot 10 inch beam, giving you a true 28 foot long running surface. The fuel, a 230 gallon fuel tank with an estimated 210 usable gallons and a 22 degree dead rise at the transom with a 23 inch draft. The all-new Open 282TE is built using our proprietary SportTech Advanced Fabrication process, utilizing composite materials and no wood. This yacht certified vessel comes packed with a transferable 10 year haul limited warranty and is NMMA certified.

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. The open layout of the boat is what gives the name Tournament Edition to this model. It's built for 360 degrees of fishability, this layout gives room to move around and fish this boat from any angle while keeping the comfort for your family in mind. The large coffin box with chase lounge will please everyone when it's time to cruise with its plush feel and comfortable folding armrests. Lifting the lid reveals a large 345 quart insulated fish box, perfect for keeping your larger catch fresh all day long. When empty it serves as a large dry storage area for stuff like life jackets, safety kits and even sand bar toys. Directly in front of the coffin box you'll find a deep in floor, macerated storage box. Stepping forward you'll find the step up to the bow. Opening the lid reveals some additional storage. Wrapping around the bow you'll find recess handrails, bolsters and two JL audio speakers. Over the top you'll find oversized anchor locker compartment and pull up cleat. Opening the lid reveals the through hole windlass anchoring system. This design leaves the top deck without any obstructions and we've included foot controls at the bow for easy operation. A growing trend on larger center console boats is the installation of trolling motors. For ease of installation on this model we offer a trolling motor pre rig with adapter plate. On the side of the console you'll find the entry door to step down into the console. This side door allows access to the head even when the boat is moving, something not possible with front entry designs. The spacious interior space features headroom over six foot tall and a marine mat floor. On the starboard side a fresh water marine toilet with storage tank. The holding tank can be emptied with the included pump out fitting or the overboard discharge. To access the back of the electronics the snap cover opens revealing great access to all of the electrical components for the boat. Along the wall below the electrical components you'll find the dedicated side door ladder storage. When designing this space it was extremely important to bring in plenty of sunlight. To achieve this a large horizontal window on the starboard side was designed in. For the all new Open 282TE we've designed a dedicated console that is the perfect size for a 28 foot boat. As always the ergonomics of the console are a big driving factor with our design. This gives you maximum visibility and great confidence behind the wheel. All sportsmen boats feature a standard factory installed electronics package we call SportLink. The SportLink system includes additional warranties and perks exclusive to sportsmen boat owners. Wrapping around the front is an integrated tempered glass windshield featuring a manually actuated vent. The advantages of tempered glass over other materials is that it will never fade yellow or deteriorate. For navigation on this model a standard 12 inch Garmin 1243XSV GPS so in our combo with a B60 through hall transducer. We have arranged the dash to accommodate a second screen if you opt in for the option. One additional feature on all sportsmen boats is the black acrylic dash. It allows the electronics to be mounted completely flush and reduces glare when you're out on the water. You won't find any dated switches on this dash and that is thanks to our integrated Maximus digital switching system. This fully redundant switching system allows control of all accessories from the Garmin display. For added convenience the system can also be operated by a custom sports remote from up to 150 feet away. In case the screens are down the system can be fully operated manually through the built in redundancy system. All circuits can be manually operated without the need of the display. For steering on this boat Yamaha's brand new state-of-the-art integrated digital steering. This system completely does away with hydraulic lines in favor of a super smooth all-electric steering system. This is by far the most advanced steering system we've ever offered on a sportsmen boat. Also included with this model is ElectroTap trim tap system which features LED indicators so you always know what position your tabs are in and are self-retracting when the key switch is turned off. For audio a standard Garmin Fusion Apollo RA670 Marine Stereo Head unit. It includes eight JL Audio M3 Sport grill speakers four on the top and four throughout the cockpit. JL Audio is known for their superior sound quality and durable marine products. The boat we are on today has the upgraded JL Audio Ultra Premium M6 upgrade which includes M6 speakers and VI amps with built-in DSP, a pair of 10-inch subs and the upgraded Garmin Fusion Apollo RA770 source unit featuring a touchscreen display, built-in Wi-Fi and party bus. Under the helm pot you'll find a large storage box built into the step providing you ample storage at the helm. To complete the helm branded anti-fatigue helm pads and foot pad. One of the very first things you'll notice when you look at the open 282TE is the oversized hard top. The six legged frame soup seamlessly from the console up to the top and the design gives it immense structural stability. The class first detubing structure is not cut and welded as typically done but rather it is bent and extruded out of a single piece of detubing. This top has all of the amenities built in. Looking at the back, nine rocket launcher rod holders in two parallel lines across the back frame. Looking at the underside you'll find front and rear sweater lights, two in the front and two in the back. These will flood the rear cockpit, gunnels and surrounding areas with light. Perfect for those late night and early morning fishing trips. The top has six designed-in-speaker spots that are angled to fill the cockpit with sound. The standard audio system includes four hard top speakers but remember the boat we're on today has the upgraded system which includes six. There are two conveniently located angle spots for dual Garmin VHF radios with one equipped standard. You will also find ample room for installation of taco outriggers. Over the top of the console, additional storage for small items like cell phones and two USB ports for charging. Using the detubing piping, finger grip grab handles on both sides. On the front corners of the top you'll find designed-in navigation lights. This location keeps them out of the way and completely unobstructed. Additionally, these Lumentech lights can dual purpose as docking lights with built-in 1,000 lumen white dock lights. The underside of the top is color matched to the hull sides for that extra added touch. And for the ultimate upgrade, you can equip your open 282GE with the available half tower with second station. Seating arrangement at the helm of this boat includes dual captain's chairs with armrests and adjustable boasters. The chairs are installed on a track that slides forward and back. All sports and boats feature sigh leather marine silicone coated fabrics. These are high performance fabrics designed to be tough and durable and able to withstand even the harshest of conditions. We offer three color options which include desert tan, ash gray, and polar white and feature our double diamond stitch pattern. For safety and reliability, this boat is equipped with four batteries. Batteries are stored inside of the leaning post which sets them centerline for even weight distribution and keeps them dry and out of the elements. The battery selector switches are located on the port side of the leaning post for easy access and we do have a battery charger option available. The rear of the leaning post a newly designed comprehensive tackle storage module which includes drawers, tackle trays, storage pouches, and even knife and plier storage for easy access. Over the top, a lid with a sink, cutting board, and a place to thaw your baits. Moving our attention to the gunnels, molded in rod racks with storage for up to three rods on each side. Mounted flush along the top are Gemlux rod holders. For added comfort when fishing, cockpit boaster cushions and provide a soft cushion to push your knees and legs into when reaching into the water or fighting a fish. This boat features not one but two side entry doors, another class first feature. Having doors on both sides allows for easy re-entry from either side and when it comes time to fuel up, we've also included fuel fills on both sides. Our side entry doors are designed to be fully supported by the stringer system for strength and rigidity. We include a removable four step ladder which can be used on either door and has dedicated storage inside the console. The rear decked area of the open 282TE is well thought out with amenities for both fishing and entertainment. Starting at the transom, there are two 30 gallon pressurized aquarium insulated live wells. At the center, a wide flip up bench seat with backrest, when it's time to fish, the bench conveniently stows away to open up cockpit space and make it easier to walk around the leaning post. Opening the large in-floor lid reveals the total access compartment. This best in class built access is our signature feature and we've taken this innovation to the next level with the built in SeaKeeper pod. This design sets the optional SeaKeeper at the optimal position and makes installation as well as maintenance a breeze. Additionally, the seat bottom completely removes to reveal a second best in class built access location. Moving to the sides, the deck has two 140 quart insulated and macerated fish boxes with large fully insulated lids to keep all of your catch fresh. Again, take notice of the additional lid insulation. This model comes standard with both raw water wash down and fresh water wash down. The outlets are located under the gunnel cap on port and starboard. One important safety feature built into the open 282TE is the self bailing cockpit which allows any water on the deck to drain overboard and not into the bilge area. All sports and boats have a collector box drainage system that pipes the water directly overboard without mechanical assistance. The open 282TE has been designed to be powered by twin Yamaha 200 or 300s. When the sun goes down, the cockpit comes to life with the included interior lighting package. At the flick of a switch, a blue glow covers every inch of the cockpit for safety and aesthetics. To board the boat, this model includes a swim platform with an integrated four step ladder. For the outside, we include two Lumitech blue underwater lights which put out over 800 lumens each. The open 282TE is battle ready. It's designed to hold up in rough offshore conditions while keeping you and your crew dry. The addition of the sea keeper keeps the boat steady and eliminates almost all of the roll in rough conditions making for much better days fishing. The large beam provides a better running surface while still allowing you to get to your spot quickly and retaining comfort. When it's not being put to the test, it makes for a great boat anchored up at the sandbar. The creature comforts will have your family ready to go out on the boat for the day with all of the amenities they could need. The all new open 282TE is setting standards for its class and it won't be long after you step on board that you'll see why.
