When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Sailfish 22 DC 2011 and the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 measures 26,2 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sailfish 22 DC 2011 at 21,5 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sailfish 22 DC 2011 tips the scales at 4 475 lbs — 4 000 lbs more than the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 at 475 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 2010 has a 250-hp advantage over the Sailfish 22 DC 2011'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 22 DC 2011 carries 55 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 7 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
