I’ve fished a 212 open before, and used one for some cruising in the ICW. Boat does pretty well offshore, but is very weight sensitive with the tabs and how they perform. That translates to a PITA when cruising in my opinion. If you get one person that moves from say leaning post to bow seat while moving, the whole boat gets thrown around and you’ll be steady adjusting tabs.

Other than that they’re built well and run good.

Not the 212 in particular, but Sportsman Boats in general.
