2027 Sportsman Open 262

The 2027 Sportsman Open 262 delivers serious offshore capability without sacrificing the comfort and convenience needed for family days on the water. Whether you’re fishing offshore, cruising Tampa Bay, or spending the afternoon at the sandbar, the Open 262 provides a versatile layout that transitions easily between every activity.

The spacious bow offers wraparound seating, removable cushions, insulated fish boxes, and plenty of storage. At the helm, premium adjustable captain’s chairs, an integrated tempered-glass windshield, and Sportsman’s SportLink® electronics system provide a clean, comfortable, and confidently connected driving experience.

The fishing-ready cockpit includes twin pressurized 30-gallon aquarium livewells, macerated in-deck fish boxes, under-gunwale rod storage, multiple rod holders, and a folding rear bench that quickly opens the cockpit for serious fishing. Dual side-entry doors swing a full 180 degrees, making boarding, swimming, and dockside access easy from either side.

Additional standard features include a fiberglass hardtop, thru-hull windlass, freshwater and raw-water washdowns, underwater lighting, an enclosed console with an electric porcelain toilet, premium Sileather® upholstery, and Sportsman’s advanced Vessel Attitude Control System.

At 26'6" with a wide 9'5" beam, 164-gallon fuel capacity, and power options up to 500 horsepower, the Open 262 is built for confident offshore performance while maintaining the space and comfort expected from a premium family center console.

Thunder Marine proudly supports your ownership experience with knowledgeable sales guidance, factory-trained service, and convenient support throughout St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa Bay, and Sarasota.
