Aluminum the #1 choice of the serious sportsman          

Rapid Craft's Sportsman is at home anywhere it goes. 

Idaho's famous Snake River is the birthplace of the Sportsman but Coeur d' alene Idaho is where we found out just how versatile it could be.  We can do it all.  

Rivers Lakes Fishing Water Fowl Hunting

Versatile would be a great nick name for the Sportsman Extreme and Sportsman 160  

  • The Sportsman is large and stable enough for relaxed fishing.  
  • Enhanced structural design that makes the Sportsman tough enough for more challenging rivers and adventurous fishing.
  • The Sportsman is a large cut above other small aluminum boats, while remaining affordable.
  • "Open Bow"( a square nose bow) gives you; the user, a 100% usable deck. Example: a 16’ ft open bow (square nose) would compare to a 18’ ft pointed nose boat. But because the Sportsman is two feet shorter, you now have the added quality having the maneuverability of a shorter boat which requires less horse power and give you better fuel economy but 100% deck usage.
  • With a open bow, you now have room for those the extras such a bow thruster and battery. 
  • The Sportsman comes pre-wired for a bow thruster and has a built in battery compartment. This leaves your extra space clean and uncluttered. You can even install a pedestal mount for an extra fishing seat.
  • Satin Polyester Splatter Paint inside eliminates glare and heat reflection  and is extremely durable and easy to clean. 

  • Outside Satin Clear Coat is to reduce sun fading and has a semi flat finish which is conducive to water fowl hunting. 

  • Painted boat bottoms make the boat go through the water easier. Once again increasing fuel economy. 

  • Added Security - Rapid Craft has increase the side depth of the Sportsman to give you more security and safety than the low sided flat bottomed Jon boats. You feel the security of the added depth in the rough water especially. 
  • Better Fuel Economy - The increased depth combined with  Rapid Crafts' low draft, (sets you  higher in the water) gives you greater fuel economy. It takes less  horse power to push the boat through the water. Better performance with lower power rates.
  • Formula for balance is; weight, length , and flotation designed to correctly produce the boats’ precise  pivot point to run at maximum performance. Balance in a boat is more important than horse power.
