 The 23 foot segment has long been the benchmark size for offshore boats. The Open 232 features a versatile open layout with modern ride characteristics. Let's take a closer look at the top selling Open 232 center console. The Open 232 has been crafted with a larger bow with more room behind the leaning post, a larger capacity live wall and more open cockpit space. The 232 is 22 feet 9 inches with an 8 foot 6 inch beam. It holds 103 gallons of fuel and has a 10 person capacity. The haul has an 18 degree dead rise at the transom and 14 inch draft. The Open 232 is built using our proprietary 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. These certifications 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. The front area on this boat is designed to allow full access to the bow. It features wrap around seating with the filler board cushion, removable backrest, wrap around bolsters, four storage, two easily accessible large insulated fish boxes which double up as dry storage. Up top, a grab handle for safety, plenty of cup holders and speakers to play your favorite tunes. At the center of the boat you will find lid with some additional in-floor storage with drain. Up front, an oversized anchor lock compartment and pull up cleat. Opening the lid reveals a designed in anchor tray that keeps your anchor in place and stops it from falling in. When anchored, the rope gets neatly routed into the compartment through the notch on the lid. When it's time to fish, the cushions are removable, leaving you plenty of deck space for fighting a fish up at the bow. A big growing trend has been the addition of a trolling motor up front. For ease of installation on this model, we offer a trolling motor pre-rig with adapter plate. Let's turn our attention to the console where you will find a two person seat with a backrest, underneath a 12 gallon insulated cooler under the bottom cushion. When not being used as a cooler, it could double up as dry storage. Inside of the console, a lockable storage area with plenty of space for the optional portal potty. Peeling back the cover reveals access to the electrical components of the boat. The helm of the Open 232 has been carefully designed for comfortable economics and to maximize visibility, giving you 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 sportsmen boat owners. For navigation on this model, a 9 inch Garmin 942XS GPS sonar combo with a B60 through-hull transducer. We've arranged the dash to accommodate a second screen if you opt in for that option. One additional feature is the black acrylic dash. It allows the electronics to be mounted completely flush and reduces glare when you're out on the water. Across the bottom, high quality 12 volt stainless toggle switches with backlit labels and two USB charging plugs. For steering on this boat, the Seastar tilt helm and sportsman steering wheel with a knob will give you the perfect steering position whether standing up or sitting down. For safety and reliability, this boat is equipped with dual batteries. A battery selector switch is located inside of the footrest and we do have battery charger options available. To the top, a keeper ring and anti-slip mat will keep your small items from sliding off and a windscreen around the front. For audio, a standard JL Audio sound system, JL Audio is known for their superior sound quality and durable marine products. On this model, we include a MediaMaster MM50 source unit and 4M3 sport grill speakers. The boat we are looking at today has the optional platinum package which adds several items. Starting with a Lektor tab trim tab 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. At the top of the console, a Ritchie compass with lights to complete the helm, a branded anti-fatigue helm pad and foot pads. A popular option to add is the Garmin VHF radio. This option adds a flush mounted VHF radio at the helm and the antenna which is installed on a ratchet mount so it can be easily lowered. Switching our attention to the top, another option which is included in the platinum package. The oversized fiberglass hard top, it protects the helm and provides plenty of shade. This top is packed with convenience features including front and rear white sputter lights, red and white map reading lights, rocket launchers across the back, two additional speakers and welded plates ready to accept taco outriggers. The underside of the hard top is color matched to the hall sides to complete the boat's color scheme. For leaning posts on the Open 232, we include our deluxe leaning post which features individually adjustable bolsters. This allows the captain to operate the boat standing up while passenger is comfortably sitting down. All sportsman boats feature side leather marine silicone coated fabrics. These high performance fabrics are 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 diamond stitch pattern. Additional features include rod holders across the back and plenty of cooler storage space underneath. The boat we are on today actually has two very popular options. First, the under leaning post tackle storage which includes two tackle trays and open storage and the second is the slide out track with the custom sportsman 65 quart Yeti cooler. This option is also available without the Yeti in case you already own a cooler. Let's move our attention to the gunnels where you will find molded-in rod racks for up to three rods on each side and they do double up as a great place to store gaff or nets. Over the top, flush mounted Gemlux rod holders and for added comfort when fishing standard cockpit bolster cushions. They provide a soft cushion to push your knees and legs into when reaching into the water or fighting a fish. Let's talk about the rear deck area on the open 232. It offers more room behind the leaning post and maximum open cockpit space. When it's time to fish, the rear bench conveniently stows away to open up cockpit space and make it easier to walk around the leaning post. When the seat is down, it sits two to three comfortably and has a deep design for comfort. The seat bottom completely removes revealing best-in-class access to the bilge. On the starboard side, a deep 25 gallon transom insulated live well at gunnel height for ease of use and it can also double up as a cooler for drinks and food. On the port side, a transom door with a latch to secure it. This design offers the convenience of not having to step over anything when you're entering the boat. The step up for the door house is a small storage compartment ideal for docking lines and other small items that typically lay around the cockpit. This model comes standard with a raw water wash-down system. The outlet can be found under the gunnel caps. One important safety feature built into the open 232 is the self-bailing cockpit which allows any water on the deck to drain overboard and not into the bilge area. All sportsmen boats have a collector box drainage system that pipes the water directly overboard without mechanical assistance. Let's talk about the power options on this model. We offer 200 and 250 horsepower packages in mechanical or digital throttles as well as the VMAX SHL. Boarding the boat is a breeze thanks to the integrated swim platform area which includes a recessed three-stepped ladder. 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 end to the cockpit for safety and aesthetics. Also included in the platinum package are two lumentech blue underwater lights which put out over 800 lumens each. The Open 232 delivers exceptional ride quality and fishability. The open cockpit layout provides plenty of space for multiple anglers while retaining all of the family amenities and comfortable seating.
