The Next Generation of Boating in Upstate New York
If you are looking for a boat that feels like it was built in the future, you need to look at Sportsman Boats. Sportsman has quickly become one of the most popular brands in Upstate New York because they offer more technology and "bang for your buck" than almost any other builder.
At Spicer Marine in Clayton, NY, we are proud to offer Sportsman Boats to our community. These boats are designed for the modern family who wants to fish hard and relax even harder.
A Mission of Innovation and Value
Sportsman Boats started in 2011 with a simple goal: to build the best-equipped salt-water fishing boats on the market. They didn't want to just copy what other people were doing. They wanted to lead. Their mission is to provide a premium experience without the "premium" price tag that usually comes with it.
When you climb aboard a Sportsman, you can feel the difference. They use the latest manufacturing tools, like 3D modeling and robotic routers, to make sure every part fits perfectly. For a boater in Upstate New York, this means fewer rattles, a tighter ride, and a boat that stays looking new for years.
Cutting-Edge Technology in Every System
Sportsman is famous for their "SportLink" Electronics Integration. While other brands might just slap a GPS on the dash, Sportsman designs the entire boat around the technology.
Integrated Systems
Every Sportsman comes standard with high-end Garmin electronics that are integrated into the boat's wiring from day one. This means your engine data, your sonar, and your navigation all talk to each other perfectly. Even the sound systems are top-tier. They use Apollo Series marine audio that is tuned specifically for the shape of the boat. Whether you are trolling for trout or anchored at a sandbar, the music sounds clear and crisp.
Advanced Hull Construction
The technology isn't just in the dash; it's in the hull. Sportsman boats are built with a "zero-wood" construction process. They use sophisticated fiberglass stringer systems that are bonded to the hull to create a rock-solid ride. This is vital when you are navigating the heavy currents and boat wakes of the St. Lawrence River. You get a boat that is light enough to be fast but heavy enough to stay stable in the wind.
Transparent Pricing: More Boat for Your Money
One of the best things about Sportsman is their commitment to transparent pricing. They believe you should know exactly what you are paying for. Their "no-haggle" pricing model means the price you see online is the price you get.
You get more "standard" features on a Sportsman than you do as "options" on many other brands. When you compare a Sportsman to other boats in its class, the value is obvious. You get the high-end finishes, the advanced electronics, and the offshore-capable hull for a price that makes sense for a New York family. It is truly the best value for your money in the industry today.
Designed for Lake Ontario and the 1000 Islands
In Northern New York, we need a boat that can do it all. The Sportsman Heritage, Masters and Open series are perfect for our region.
The Ride: The deep-entry hulls with standard Seakeeper Ride systems slice through the afternoon wind-chop on Lake Ontario, keeping you and your passengers dry.
The Features: You get "Total Access" hatches that make it easy to reach your pumps and batteries—something every practical boater appreciates.
Family Fun: With comfortable "Sileather" upholstery, insulated coolers, and easy-to-use swim platforms, the boat is just as ready for a family picnic as it is for a fishing tournament.
