This is the kind of boat that lets you leave the dock confident, cover water efficiently, and still come home comfortable at the end of the day. The 2026 Sportsman Open 262 is built for owners who want one platform that handles Tampa Bay chop, nearshore runs, and relaxed family days without juggling compromises.
Many owners reach this size because smaller boats start feeling limiting-range anxiety, tight seating, and not enough storage for real days on the water. The Open 262 replaces those issues with a wide, stable hull, meaningful fuel capacity, and layouts that let everyone spread out without getting in the way. Twin Yamaha power delivers predictable handling and redundancy, while the 22° deadrise keeps the ride composed when conditions change.
Electronics and helm systems are integrated to reduce workload, not add complexity. Dual Garmin 12" displays, digital switching, and Seakeeper Ride work together so the boat feels settled underway and intuitive at the dock. Storage, livewells, and fish boxes are sized for actual use, not brochure claims, which means fewer trade-offs between fishing capability and family comfort.
Backed by Thunder Marine, ownership stays straightforward after delivery. From commissioning to service access, everything is handled locally by a team that supports how you actually use your boat in St. Pete, Clearwater, and the surrounding Gulf waters.
