Yes — both the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 and the Sailfish 270 WAC 2013 are built by Sailfish. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 vs Sailfish 270 WAC 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 against a deep vee Sailfish 270 WAC 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 at 26,2 ft versus Sailfish 270 WAC 2013 at 26,2 ft. At 475 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 2010 has a 200-hp advantage over the Sailfish 270 WAC 2013's 300-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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sailfish 270 WAC 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sailfish 270 WAC 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Sailfish 270 WAC 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 26,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sailfish 2660 WAC 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
