Description
Introduction and Key Features
Offered at $198,000 and located in Tampa, Florida, this 2023 Sportsman Heritage 261 is a heavily equipped, low-hour center console designed to transition seamlessly between serious offshore fishing, family cruising, watersports, and weekends at the sandbar.
At the heart of the package is the Yamaha 425HP 5.6L V8 XTO Offshore with just 128.2 hours. Yamaha digital electric steering, stainless steel propeller, and Lectrotab trim tabs complement the Heritage 261's deep-V hull and 22-degree deadrise, creating a capable platform for running Tampa Bay or heading well offshore.
For the angler, this boat is stocked with the equipment that matters: dual Garmin 12-inch multifunction displays, Garmin radar, autopilot, Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor, dual aquarium livewells, twin macerated in-deck fish boxes, Power-Poles, raw-water washdown, abundant rod storage, and 160 gallons of fuel capacity.
When the fishing is finished, the Heritage 261 transforms into an exceptionally comfortable day boat. Deep wraparound bow seating, an electrically actuated table/sundeck conversion, convertible aft seating for up to five guests, dual side entry doors, dual transom walkthroughs, premium helm seating, JL Audio sound, a porcelain head, freshwater washdown, and premium Sileather upholstery make this a boat the entire family can enjoy.
A Loadmaster aluminum tandem-axle trailer, custom boat cover, and spare tire complete an unusually comprehensive package.

Broker Comments
This 2023 Sportsman Heritage 261 represents an opportunity to step directly into a fully equipped offshore fishing platform without sacrificing the comfort and amenities expected from a premium family center console.
With only 128.2 engine hours, the boat has seen relatively light use and presents as an exceptionally well-kept example, reflecting clear pride of ownership throughout. From the condition of the upholstery and helm to the overall presentation of the vessel, this Heritage 261 shows the kind of care buyers hope to find when shopping for a late-model center console.
The fishing equipment deserves particular attention. Rather than purchasing a basic boat and spending additional time and money outfitting it, the next owner gets a package already equipped with Garmin navigation and radar, autopilot, a Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor, Power-Poles, dual livewells, macerated fish boxes, raw-water washdown, under-gunwale rod storage, and the range provided by a 160-gallon fuel capacity. It is a platform genuinely capable of heading offshore and fishing upon delivery.
Yet Sportsman's Heritage layout makes the boat equally appealing when fishing isn't on the agenda. The spacious bow, premium upholstery, dual side entry doors, convertible aft seating, abundant storage, freshwater system, porcelain head, swim platform, ski tow bar, and premium audio system make it equally comfortable for entertaining guests, cruising, watersports, or spending a full day at the sandbar.
For owners interested in charter fishing or guide work, the combination of Yamaha reliability, open cockpit space, dual livewells, insulated fish boxes, easy water access, extensive electronics, and fishing equipment creates a highly functional platform ready for immediate use.
The vessel carries NMMA certification, demonstrating adherence to ABYC standards, and benefits from Sportsman's advanced no-wood construction and 10-year hull warranty.
At $205,000, this Heritage 261 offers the opportunity to avoid the wait and expense of building and outfitting a comparable new boat while acquiring a low-hour, extensively equipped package that includes its tandem-axle road trailer.
