When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Sailfish 2360 WAC 2008 and the Sailfish 2380 CC 2012 are deep 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sailfish 2360 WAC 2008 at 23,0 ft versus Sailfish 2380 CC 2012 at 23,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sailfish 2360 WAC 2008 tips the scales at 415 lbs — 381 lbs more than the Sailfish 2380 CC 2012 at 34 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 300 hp, the Sailfish 2380 CC 2012 has a 150-hp advantage over the Sailfish 2360 WAC 2008's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 153 gal and 153 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

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.
