Both the Sailfish 2660 CC 2011 and the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2009 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 2011 at 26,2 ft versus Sailfish 2660 WAC 2009 at 26,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sailfish 2660 CC 2011 tips the scales at 6 625 lbs - 1 875 lbs more than the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2009 at 4 750 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 CC 2011 has a 250-hp advantage over the Sailfish 2660 WAC 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 - 200 gal and 200 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.
