2020 Sportsman Heritage 231 Center Console

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the Heritage 231 is laid out for real-world days on the water. The wide bow with removable cushions lets you switch from lounging to casting in seconds, and the deep freeboard keeps kids and guests feeling secure when the chop kicks up. At the helm, the clean, ergonomic dash gives you clear sightlines and easy reach to every control, so long runs are less tiring. Under-seat storage, in-floor fish boxes, and a roomy console compartment mean you can bring all the gear, stow it neatly, and keep the deck uncluttered. Add in the hardtop shade and freshwater rinse, and this 23-footer feels like a much bigger, more capable boat.

The Heritage 231 shines in local waters where conditions can change from calm mornings to breezy afternoons. Its moderate draft lets you nose into shallower creeks and sandbars, yet the sharp entry and solid hull handle open stretches with confidence. The size is a sweet spot for tight marina slips and busy ramps, while still offering the range for island-hopping or run-and-gun fishing. Versatile seating makes it easy to host family beach days one weekend and target nearshore structure the next. With efficient outboard power and a layout built for both play and purpose, it’s a smart fit for boaters who want one hull to do a bit of everything here.
