2026 Sportsman Open 302 Center Console

Spend more days running confidently across Tampa Bay and less time managing trade-offs between comfort, fishability, and control.

If your current setup forces you to choose between a serious fishing platform and a boat your family actually wants to spend time on, the Open 302 removes that compromise. The layout, systems, and power capacity are designed to let you switch from offshore runs to sandbar afternoons without reconfiguring your day or your crew.

Twin Garmin 16" displays, paired with CHIRP sonar and integrated systems through SportLink®, give you a clear, centralized view of navigation, systems, and conditions. This reduces second-guessing at the helm and shortens the learning curve when conditions change. Seakeeper Ride adds automatic trim and stability adjustments, helping you maintain control and comfort without constant input-especially useful in Tampa Bay chop or longer runs offshore.

The 295-gallon fuel capacity supports extended range planning, so you can run farther with fewer stops and more confidence in your return window. Dual pressurized livewells, macerated fish boxes, and under-gunwale rod storage keep fishing workflows organized and efficient, reducing cleanup time and keeping the cockpit usable throughout the day.

At rest, the electric bow sun deck/table and premium seating layout convert the space quickly for family use. The console interior with porcelain head and freshwater system makes longer days more practical, removing the need to cut trips short.

Thunder Marine supports this build with clear delivery, system walkthroughs, and ongoing service access in St. Petersburg, helping you spend more time using the boat and less time managing it.
