The Open 282 is designed for those looking for a great all around boat that is big enough to entertain and fish offshore but with all of the creature comforts included. Enjoy the electronically actuated bow table that turns into a sunpad, or the easy dockside loading through the side entry door. For those that like speed, a pair of Yamaha 300HP outboards is sure to make her go.

Features may include:

Made out of high-quality tempered glass, the integrated windshield protects the helm while maintaining excellent air flow thanks to the gaps at the top and sides. For the cooler days, fit the top openings with the optional close-out canvas to block off any wind. The glass is extremely easy to clean and will never fade, yellow or deteriorate.

The side entry door is a very versatile feature that will quickly become one of your favorites. The door is part of the hull and deck mold and is one of the key features of this model. We build it this way so we can guarantees that it has necessary structural reinforcements needed. Our stringer system supports the door and a large heavy duty hinge hangs the door.

High performance marine vinyl fabric designed to pass the test of time with a soft yet durable feel and Sportsman's exclusive textured look. The vinyl is coated in Nano-Block Technology™, a next generation nanotechnology coating designed to provide ease of cleaning, protection from mildew and tough UV protection against discoloration. This layer of protection creates a tough barrier against abrasions, grease, grime, oils and even gasoline.

Just push a button to retrieve your anchor in immense comfort from the helm making dropping anchor a breeze and saves your arms when it's time to move. This top-quality windlass system is installed thru-hull giving it a great clean look and comes standard with a high-grade stainless steel anchor.

For ease of use and safety, we include foot controls at the bow for launching and retrieving your anchor, making the operation a one-man job. It also makes it very easy to see your anchor, rope and chain as it is getting reeled in. The controls have a plastic cover to prevent any unintentional button presses.

The bow of this boat is designed with entertainment and versatility in mind. Features wrap around seating with adjustable bow backrests, 2 easily accessible large insulated fish boxes, drink holders and speakers to play your favorite tunes.

A large electronically actuated table is the center piece. There are 3 main functions for this table. At the top position, it serves as a table. Lower it to the middle position and snap-in the additional cushion for the sun deck function. When not in use, lower it flush to the floor for an obstruction-free deck.

The adjustable bow backrest complete this bow in extreme function and versatility. The backrests can be clicked into different positions from completely flat to upright and everything in between. Find your comfort spot and enjoy the view.

Two large storage boxes at the bow will give you plenty of places to stow away your items. They are both insulated and can be used as fish boxes or coolers.
