2019 Sportsman Heritage 231 Center Console

Step aboard this Heritage 231 and the first thing you’ll notice is how thoughtfully the space is laid out. The wide bow offers plenty of room to stretch out, yet still leaves a generous walkway for working lines or chasing a bent rod. The helm feels substantial for a 23-footer, with clear sightlines and plenty of dash space for your electronics. A deep cockpit and high freeboard give you confidence when the breeze kicks up, while the hull carries its beam well forward for a soft, dry ride. Add in the easy step-up to the bow, tidy in-deck storage, and family-friendly seating that doesn’t get in the way of fishing, and you’ve got a boat that feels bigger than its footprint.

The Heritage 231 shines in waters where you might start the morning running across choppy open stretches and finish the afternoon easing into quiet coves. Its balanced hull handles afternoon wind chop comfortably, yet the draft is shallow enough to explore sandbars and creeks without drama. The layout suits a day that mixes trolling passes, anchoring near islands, and dropping the hook just off the beach. Abundant storage keeps gear stowed and decks clear when you’ve got a full crew aboard. With efficient power and a practical size for trailering and dry storage, it’s a smart fit for local ramps, marinas, and multi-use family days on the water.
