This boat is built for owners who want to run Tampa Bay with fewer tradeoffs and more confidence, whether the day leans toward fishing, sandbar time, or covering water efficiently. The Heritage 231 removes the frustration of juggling comfort and capability by delivering a layout that works equally well underway, at anchor, and at the dock.

With a deep-V hull and a wide beam, this boat is designed to stay predictable in afternoon chop while still feeling manageable around marinas in St. Pete and Clearwater. The helm is centered on clear visibility and simple control, reducing fatigue and mental load on longer runs. Seating is arranged so passengers can settle in securely without limiting movement when lines are in the water or gear is out.

Livewells, coolers, and storage are integrated rather than added on, which keeps the deck open and the day flowing without constant reorganization. The hardtop, lighting, and windshield are configured to support year-round use, not just fair-weather outings. Everything is placed to shorten setup time and keep attention on the water instead of the boat.

Backed by Thunder Marine, ownership doesn't stop at delivery. You gain a local team that understands Tampa Bay use patterns, service timelines, and how to keep your boat ready when your schedule opens up.
