When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Sailfish 2380 WAC 2012 and the Sailfish 240 WAC 2013 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 2380 WAC 2012 at 23,5 ft versus Sailfish 240 WAC 2013 at 23,5 ft. At 34 lbs and 34 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 300 hp for the Sailfish 2380 WAC 2012 and 300 hp for the Sailfish 240 WAC 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. 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.
