This is the kind of boat that makes full days on Tampa Bay feel simple, not planned.
 If your current setup feels crowded with people, limited in range, or like it requires too much effort to manage, the Open 232 replaces those compromises with balance—space where it matters, predictable performance, and systems that are easy to live with.

At just over 23 feet with a wide 8’6” beam, this layout gives you room to move without stepping up into a larger boat that adds complexity. Seating is flexible from bow to stern, so you can fish early, cruise comfortably, and stay out longer without rearranging the boat. The single Yamaha 300 keeps operation straightforward while still delivering the power needed for confident runs across open water or quick trips offshore.

Fuel capacity supports full days without constantly watching the gauge, and the 20° deadrise helps maintain control and comfort when afternoon chop builds in the Bay. Integrated Garmin electronics, digital switching, and Seakeeper Ride are already in place, reducing learning curves and setup time from day one.

Backed by Thunder Marine, this boat isn’t just delivered—it’s supported for real-world use in St. Pete, Clearwater, Sarasota, and beyond. The goal is more time underway and fewer reasons to second-guess the decision.
