When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Sailfish 2660 CC 2009 and the Sailfish 2660 WAC Pilot House 2011 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sailfish 2660 CC 2009 at 26,0 ft versus Sailfish 2660 WAC Pilot House 2011 at 26,2 ft. At 405 lbs and 475 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 500 hp, the Sailfish 2660 WAC Pilot House 2011 has a 250-hp advantage over the Sailfish 2660 CC 2009's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 2 gal and 2 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.
