Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sportsman Boats Masters 247 2013 vs Sportsman Open 212 Center Console 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sportsman Boats Masters 247 2013 vs Sportsman Open 212 Center Console 2022 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sportsman Boats Masters 247 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Sportsman Open 212 Center Console 2022 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sportsman Boats Masters 247 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sportsman Boats Masters 247 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sportsman Open 212 Center Console 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
