Buyer questions
Eight questions buyers ask about the Sportsman 262 OPEN, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
Right now US Marine Connection shows 3 priced 262 Open listings, all with photos, asking between $194,490 and $204,125 with a median asking price of $198,585. Worth noting: these are new boats, model years 2026 and 2027, not used ones, so there is no used asking range to quote here. Those figures are asking prices as listed, not recorded sale prices.
The current listings cover model years 2026 and 2027 only, across three boats. All three are listed as new center consoles, so you will not find older used years in the 262 Open listings at the moment. If you are after an earlier hull, the closest thing on the site is a sibling model like the Open 232, which is listed back to 2019.
None of the three 262 Open listings states an engine hour figure, so there is no typical number to give. That is consistent with what the listings do show: all three are new 2026 and 2027 boats rather than used ones. If hours matter to your decision, ask the seller directly for the reading before you commit, and confirm it against the engine display.
Since the listings are 2026 and 2027 boats with twin outboards, check both engines run and shift cleanly, and confirm rigging, batteries and fuel system are sound. The descriptions mention a fiberglass hardtop with lights, speakers and rod holders, dual side entry doors, an integrated tempered glass windshield, helm electronics and twin transom livewells, so test each of those. Also verify the fiberglass composite hull and gelcoat, and get the paperwork and warranty details in writing.
Per the listings, the 262 Open is a fiberglass composite center console about 26 feet long with a 9'5 beam, gasoline fuel and twin outboard power. Descriptions highlight dual side entry doors that open 180 degrees for water access, a feature-packed fiberglass hardtop with lights, speakers and rod holders, standard helm electronics behind an integrated tempered glass windshield, and twin aquarium livewells at the transom.
The dealer descriptions lean that way. One calls it a premium offshore center console built for boaters who want to venture farther offshore without giving up versatility, citing a smooth, confident ride and generous deck space. Another mentions heading offshore for trophy fish, cruising the coastline, or spending the day at the sandbar with family. The twin aquarium livewells and rod holders in the hardtop back up the fishing side.
All three 262 Open listings on US Marine Connection are in southwest Florida: one in Cape Coral, one in Naples and one in Port Charlotte. Each has photos. If none of those is close to you, the sibling Sportsman models carry larger listing counts, so widening your search to those may turn up something nearer. Contact the seller through the listing to arrange a look.
On price, the 262 Open sits well above both. Its three listings ask $194,490 to $204,125, median $198,585, in 2026 and 2027. The 232 Open shows 9 listings from $112,900 to $133,390, median $125,110, years 2025 to 2027. The Masters 247 Bay Boat has 7 listings from $154,629 to $155,728, median $155,728, all 2027. The listings describe the 262 Open as an offshore center console and the 247 as a bay boat.
