An In-depth Review of the Sportsman Boat Open Series 242CC 2023
The 2023 model of the Sportsman Boat Open Series 242CC is an impressive vessel that’s sure to please even the most discerning of boating enthusiasts. Conducting an analysis based on See Dealer Cost's features list, it's safe to say this model stands firmly in the top tier of the Fiberglass Fish category.
Electronics installed in this motorboat are top-notch. Garmin's GPSMAP 1243xsv, complemented with a VHF 115 Radio complete with antenna; ensures a seamless navigation experience. With an advanced JL Audio M3-650X Gloss White Sport Grille Speakers, early morning fishing trips or twilight cruises come alive with high-quality sound. It's not often that you find a boat with such an integrated electronics system; Sportsman Boats truly pulled out all the stops on this one.
The comfort of passengers onboard the Sportsman Boat Open Series 242CC 2023 has indeed been given due consideration: premium dual chair LP with flip-up bolsters, a helm pad, bow bolster and cockpit bolsters, and removable bow backrest. Fabricated with premium Sileather Marine Silicone Fabrics, the upholstery gives you the comfort and exquisiteness you'd expect on a sea voyage.
There's plenty to like about the storage and livewell options in this boat model too. A 13-Gallon freshwater tank with washdown, 25 Gallon rear livewell, and ample raw water washdown, were just a few features that stood out. Anchor storage and high-speed livewell pick-up round out what is an imposing list of practical features in this category.
More than just a pretty face, this model also brings rugged durability and robust construction. The advanced fiberglass stringer system, rear fold-down seat with access, and SportTech Advanced Fabrication Process highlight the attention to detail that went into building this reliable vessel. Plus, it’s pleasing to see a 10-year hull warranty, something that should bring peace of mind to the potential boat owner.
Powering this premium watercraft is a mightily impressive 300 HP engine, giving it a stunning blend of performance and efficiency. The Sportsman Boat Open Series 242CC 2023 held its own on every metric, with room for 12 passengers, a 118-gallon fuel tank, and an 8'6" beam.
Overall, the 2023 model of the Sportsman Boat Open Series 242CC is an outstanding contender in the Fiberglass Fish category - a real testament to Sportsman Boats' commitment to quality and innovation. You can look forward to a solid return on investment with this vessel; given the quality and thought put into the design and features, it's reasonably priced at an MSRP of $102,485.

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
