As lovers of the sea and watercraft, it is our pleasure to review the Sportsman Boats 2024 Sportsman Boat Open Series Open 282CC 2024. This watercraft is a high-class model in the Fiberglass Fish category that only improves upon its predecessors.
This aquatic beauty measures 28'5" in length and 9'10" in beam, providing ample space for your fishing activities. It's powered by a motor with a maximum horsepower of 600, ensuring that even with its large fuel tank capacity of approximately 230 gallons, this boat is not short on power or speed.
One of the impressive features of this model is its cutting-edge SportLink Electronics Integration System. This system allows easy control and operation of your boat to ensure a safe, efficient and enjoyable ride. The boat also includes a Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv MFD 12" with Bluechart G3 for advanced navigation.
For the audiophiles among you, this boat has a premium stereo system. It features Apollo amplifiers and a variety of Garmin Signature 3i coaxial speakers and subwoofers. With this setup, you'd be forgiven for thinking you're in a concert, not on a boat.
But let's face it, at the heart of any boat in the Fiberglass Fish category is the fishing experience it provides. The 2024 Sportsman Boat Open Series Open 282CC does not disappoint. It boasts an impressive 2 pressurized 30-gallon aquarium livewells, two macerated in-deck fish boxes, and high-speed livewell pickup. There's also an insulated bow storage and trolling motor battery storage for a convenient fishing adventure.
The boat provides luxurious comfort as well. From the 90-quart built-in console cooler seat to the electric actuated bow sun deck/table and rear fold-down seat, every design element focuses on the comfort of its passengers.
The hull and deck of the boat are equally spectacular. It has a 10-year hull warranty and uses the advanced SportTech Fabrication Process for a highly durable and resilient build. The built-in swim platform with a 4-step ladder, dual fuel fills, and dual side entry doors with removable ladder are small yet essential features contributing to an easy and safe boating experience.
In conclusion, the Sportsman Boat Open Series Open 282CC 2024 offers an unbeatable combination of advanced technology, luxury, safety features, and primary functions essential for an unforgettable fishing expedition. While the MSRP of 209210 may seem steep at first, considering the boat's exceptional make and features makes it a worthwhile investment.

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
