Buyer questions
Eight questions buyers ask about the Sportsman 282 Open, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
Right now US Marine Connection shows three priced 282 Open listings, asking $149,995 to $299,110, with a median asking price of $289,675. Only one of the three is pre-owned, a 2020, which sits at the low end of that range; the other two are new 2026 boats, which is why the median lands so high. These are asking prices, not what anyone actually paid.
The listings on US Marine Connection span model years 2020 through 2026. In practice that means one pre-owned 2020 282 Open TE and new 2026 boats, listed both as 282 Open and Open 282. All three are center consoles with twin outboards and fiberglass or composite hulls running gasoline. Three boats total, all three with photos.
There is not enough here to call anything typical, since only one of the three listed boats is pre-owned. That one, a 2020 282 Open TE in Naples, shows 1,003 engine hours. The other two are new 2026 models, so no hours apply. With a sample of one, treat that figure as a single data point and ask any seller directly for a current hour readout.
The only pre-owned boat listed is a 2020 with 1,003 hours on twin outboards, so start with the engines: service records, compression, lower units and steering. Check the fiberglass composite hull for stress cracks and any transom softness, then look at the console electronics, wiring and fuel system. Confirm the hour figure in person, and have a surveyor and a sea trial before you commit.
From the descriptions on US Marine Connection: it is a center console with twin outboard power, a fiberglass composite hull and gasoline fuel, about 28 feet LOA. The 2026 boats list a beam of roughly 9'7" to 9'10" and are described as offshore center consoles with a spacious layout. The 2020 is a 282 Open TE with a deep-V hull, described as tournament-ready. Anything beyond that, ask the seller.
That is how these listings describe it. The 2026 boats are called premium offshore center consoles with a wide beam for a confident ride in offshore conditions, and the 2020 282 Open TE is described as tournament-ready with an aggressive deep-V hull built to tackle offshore water. All three run twin outboards. The descriptions also mention comfort for family and friends aboard, but offshore is the clear emphasis.
All three 282 Open listings on US Marine Connection are in Southwest Florida: two in Naples, Florida, and one in Cape Coral, Florida. The Naples pair covers one new 2026 and the pre-owned 2020 282 Open TE; Cape Coral has a new 2026 Open 282. Each listing includes photos. If you are outside Florida, that is the full current spread for this model.
By the listings, the 282 Open sits at the top: three boats asking $149,995 to $299,110, median $289,675, model years 2020 to 2026. The Open 252 Center Console shows six listings from $161,360 to $176,208, all 2027 model year. The 232 Open shows seven, $112,900 to $126,010, years 2025 to 2026. The site does not publish side-by-side performance data, so compare hulls and layouts in person.
