im leaning toward the sailfish but i just wanted some advice on the older hull, wireing, motor, etc.
2002 Sailfish 216cc with 02 yamaha 150 2stroke 400 hrs 12,900
sailfish hit the trailer and has small crack in gel coat under where the trailer hooks to boat. but will be fixed this week before purchase. bottom of boat and outside paint are almost flawless otherwise
2003 SeaPro 1900 with 03 yamaha 150 2 stroke 500 hrs 13,500
2003 Angler 204 with 03 mercury 150 sw 2stroke 236hrs 12,500
boat doesnt ride as good as i thought it would
all are in good shape and come with hydraulic steering and duel axle trailer

Buy the Sailfish as it is a much better built boat

thanks man thats how i feel. i just cant find anyone with an 02 216 to compare to. sailfish has always been a fav of mine
i have a 218 so not a real comparison. I looked at a couple of those brands also when shopping a few years ago and the Sailfish is much better.

What kind of hours are on the motors? That would be my main consideration..and then it would be between the Sailfish and the SeaPro...

I would go with the Sailfish or Sea Pro and make the decision on condition and the layout for my needs.

get all four, keep the Sailfish (best one) and bring the other boats to south florida. They won't last a week if they are in good condition.

I have been the owner of a new "to me" Sailfish for a little less than a year now, I would have no problem recommending one.

Hey, gotta defend the Sea Pro, I have a SV1900, great boat. A little deeper than other bay boats. Had mine out 6 miles 2 weeks ago. I see you live in Savannah, I drove to Isle of Palms SC to get mine. There was a guy in Palm Bay Fl. had a killer deal in a 2005 SV2100 on ebay. Had a buy now of $11K
