 With the growing competition in the center console segment, our goal has always remained the same to lead in innovation, standard features, and amenities. The Open Series, as it continues to grow, has redefined what it means to own a center console. Today, for the first time ever, we bring you a full tour of the all-new 2022 Open 282 center console. The Open 282 has been designed from the ground up to be a completely new package. Bringing you features and amenities never seen before in this size boat and revolutionizing the 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 all-new Open 282 is built using our preparatory sport tech advanced fabrication process, utilizing composite materials and no wood. This yacht certified vessel comes backed 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 are 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. At the bow of the Open 282, you'll find a spacious entertainment area that can be easily converted to create the ultimate fishing area. It features wrap-around seating and large removable backrests. For storage, two easily accessible large insulated fish boxes under the seats, which double up as dry storage. At the center, an electronically actuated table. This triple-purpose table serves as a large table for all those sitting around, but can be lowered halfway and covered with the optional cushion to turn the bow into a large sun pad, perfect for sunbathing on those hot summer days. When you are out fishing, lower it all the way down for a completely flush, unobstructed bow floor. Up top, a grab handle for safety, plenty of cup holders and speakers to play your favorite tunes. The center filler piece is removable for easy access to the anchor and extra space while you are fishing. Up here, you will find an oversized anchor locker compartment and pull-up cleat. Opening the lid reveals the thru-hull windlass anchoring system. This design leaves the top deck without any obstructions, and we've included foot controls at the bow for easy operation. Turning our attention to the console, you will find the sleek new modern console following our sportsman design language. This new console sports an integrated, D-tubing hardtop frame extruded out of a single piece of aluminum. This design takes the frame legs off of the deck, giving you more space around the console and more space inside the head. On the starboard side, you'll find the iconic sportsman side window glass that brings tons of light into the interior space. Wrapping all around is an integrated tempered glass enclosure with a manually actuated vent. Up front, a comfortable 2-person seat with a backrest, as well as a 90-quart insulated cooler under the bottom cushion. When not being used as a cooler, it could double up as dry storage. A major area of design on our newest models is the improved insulation on our cooler boxes. Opening the lid, you'll notice a much thicker design across the lid. We've added special coring material for optimal insulation. An area you cannot see is the insulation within the cooler box itself. You should have no issues keeping your drinks cold up here. On the side of the console, you'll find the entry door to step down into the console. The 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 6 foot tall and a marine mat floor. On the starboard side, a freshwater marine toilet with storage tank. The holding tank can be emptied out with the included pump-up fitting or with the overboard discharge. To access the back of the electronics, a snap cover opens revealing great access to all the electrical components of the boat. Along the wall but below the electronic components, you'll find dedicated side door ladder storage. When designing the 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 old Neo Open 282, we've designed a dedicated console that is the perfect size for a 28 foot boat. The ergonomics of the console are a big driving factor with our designs. This gives you maximum visibility and great confidence behind the wheel. All sportsman boats feature a standard factory-installed electronics package we call SportLink. The SportLink system includes additional warranties and perks exclusive to sportsman boat owners. For navigation on this model, a standard 12-inch Garmin 1243XSV GPS sonar combo with a B60 through-hole transducer. We've arranged the dash to accommodate a second screen if you opt in for that option. One additional feature on all sportsman 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 is a fully redundant switching system that allows controls for all accessories from the Garmin display. For added convenience, this system can also be operated by a custom sportsman remote from up to 150 feet away. In case the screens are ever down, the system can be fully operated manually through the built-in Fuse 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 sportsman boat. Also included with this model is a electro tab trim tab system featuring 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 integrated JL Audio Ultra Premium M6 upgrade which includes M6 speakers, MVI amps with built-in DSP and a pair of 10-inch subs as well as the upgraded Garmin Fusion Apollo RA770 source unit featuring a touchscreen display, built-in Wi-Fi and party bus. Under the Helm Pod you will find a large storage box built into the step providing you ample storage at the helm. To complete the helm, brand it anti-fatigue, helm pads and foot pads. One of the very first things you'll notice when you look at the Open 282 is the oversized hard top. The six-legged frame soups seamlessly from the console up to the top and the design gives it immense structural stability. This 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. Starting at the back, nine total rocket launcher rod holders in two parallel lines across the back frame. Looking at the underside you will find front and rear spreader lights, two in the front and two in the back. These will flood the rear cockpit gunnels and surrounding areas with lights and is perfect for those late nights and early morning fishing trips. This 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 for the top but the boat we are on today has the upgraded system which includes six. Two conveniently located angle spots for dual Garmin VHF 115 radios with one equipped standard. Ample room for installation of tackle outriggers over the top of the console, additional storage for small items like cell phones. 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 Lumetech lights can do a purpose as docking lights with built-in 1000 lumen white dock lights. The underside of the top is color matched to the hull sides for that extra added touch. For the ultimate upgrade, you can equip your open 282 with the available half tower with second station. Seating arrangements at the helm of this boat include dual captain's chairs with armors and adjustable boasters. These chairs are installed on a track that slide forward and back. All sportsmen boats feature sigh leather marine silicone coated fabrics. These are high performance fabrics designed to be tough and durable and are 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. At the rear of the leaning post a newly designed comprehensive tackle storage module which includes drawers, tackle trace, 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. They 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 of the console. The rear deck area of the Open 282 is well thought out with amenities for both fishing and entertainment. Starting at the transom, two 30 gallon pressurized aquarium insulated live wheels. At the center a wide flip up bench seat with a backrest and when it's time to fish, the bench conveniently stows away to open up cockpit space and make it easier to walk around leaning posts. Opening the large in-floor lid reveals the total access compartment. This best in class bilge access is one of our signature features and we've taken this innovation to the next level with the built-in sea keeper pod. This design sets the optional sea keeper 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 bilge 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 also comes standard with both raw water washdown and fresh water washdown. The outlets are located under the gunner caps on the port and starboard side. One important safety feature built into the open 282 is the self-bailing cockpit which allows any water on the deck to drain overboard and not into the bilge area. The open 282 has been designed to be powered by twin Yamaha 200s 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 blue Lumitec underwater lights which put out over 800 lumens each. The open 282 is designed to be the perfect boat for you and your family while also packing a punch offshore fishing. The standard creature comforts and spacious design makes every day a great day on the water. Whether you're anchored up at the sandbar or taking on rough seas for big fish, the open 282 sets the benchmark for this class.
