Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 vs Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 vs Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 measures 26,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 at 21,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 tips the scales at 475 lbs — 440 lbs less than the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 at 35 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 500 hp, the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 has a 250-hp advantage over the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 carries 95 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 vs Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 or the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007?
The Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 is the longer of the two at 26,0 feet overall. The Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 5,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 or the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007?
For trailering, the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 has the edge at 35 lbs dry weight versus 475 lbs for the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 is rated to a maximum of 500 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 tops out at 250 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 is certified for 7. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 measures 108" wide, compared to 102" for the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 or the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007?
The Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 has the bigger tank at 95 gallons, versus 2 gallons on the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007. That 93-gallon difference translates to roughly 279–465 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 and Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Sailfish 218 WAC 2008 and the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2007 are built by Sailfish. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
