Sailfish 218CC

[piemma]

You gotta look at a Sea Hunt. Clammer owns one. I own one. Driest boats on the water. I have an 18 CC and have been in 6' seas (not intentionally) and stayed dry. Also Yami 4 stroke is the balls. Warwick Cove to Newport and back on less than 3 gallons of gas. 4200 RPMs gives me 21 knots.

piemma,

Thanks for the info, Sea Hunt was the other boat I have been looking into, the Triton series either the 20 or 22. I have heard other good things about them. I did take the 21 Sailfish for a test ride in a 3' chop yesterday and didnt get 1 drop of water in the boat, also was very smooth, no pounding and a very soft re-entry. I'm told it is built on a seacraft mold.

Thanks again

You are welcome. Either way you can't go wrong. Best of luck and as the old saying goes "Fair winds and following seas"

Never rode on one, but I checked them out at the boat show this year, and they are deffinately well put together, and are on my list if I ever get another boat.

I SEE 2 of the c/c sailfish,s almost everyday day ...... 2 commercial r/r fisherman
I got to check one out /when I sold out one day /these guys trailer everyday ........nice hull / nice layout ...I don,t know what they cost compared to the seahunt .

I have the 210 w a 150 saltwater series 2 stroke ...... not bad on gas .but depends on how much you use it ...
I love this boat & the way I have it setup // I would have probably gotten the 4 stroke /but it wasn,t available til the next season .
But this setup .comes out of the hole like a dragster @ the greenlight.
As far as the ride & stability .I havn,t been in any seas yet where I,ve felt threatened .
See if Denis answers on this thread .we came back yesterday .I would guess 20 miles of real slop ...... strong s/sw w/ a moon outgoing against it . I don,t think Denis got a drop on him . I got got some back water on the back of my shirt from the spray hitting a shellfishing station & it would back spray ;;

Good luck Mike

My father in law just bought a 2009 18 ft Sea Hunt with a Yammy 4 stroke for $15k. 20 hrs on the engine.

There are so many deals out there right now.
