Premium Family Center Console | Sandbar Mode | Up to 300 HP

The new 2027 Sportsman Heritage 231 is designed for families who want the comfort of a premium cruising boat without giving up the performance and fishing capability of a center console.

Measuring 23'4" with a wide 8'6" beam, the Heritage 231 offers an exceptionally spacious layout with comfortable seating from bow to stern. Whether your day includes cruising the Intracoastal, fishing nearshore, pulling the kids on a tube, or relaxing at the sandbar, this boat is built to handle it all.

The bow features deep wraparound seating, removable backrests, insulated storage boxes, and a removable table that converts into a large sun pad. An additional in-deck storage compartment provides plenty of room for lines, fenders, water toys, and other gear.

At the helm, Sportsman’s factory-integrated SportLink® system brings Garmin electronics, JL Audio, digital switching, and the boat’s onboard systems together in one clean, easy-to-use interface. The oversized fiberglass hardtop, integrated tempered-glass windshield, dual helm chairs, wireless phone chargers, and anti-fatigue helm pad create a comfortable and modern command center.

The Heritage 231 truly separates itself at the stern. Its full-width rear bench provides seating for up to four adults and converts into Sportsman’s innovative Sandbar Mode, allowing the outside seats to face aft while opening convenient walk-through access to the water.

For fishing days, the Heritage 231 is equipped with twin 10-gallon aquarium livewells, under-gunwale rod storage, flush-mounted Gemlux rod holders, cockpit bolsters, raw-water washdown, and insulated bow fish boxes. When it is time to relax, twin boarding ladders, a telescoping ski-tow bar, freshwater washdown, and an integrated sandbar cooler make time in the water even more enjoyable.
