Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sailfish 290 CC 2013 vs Sailfish Boats 272 CC 2022: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sailfish 290 CC 2013 vs Sailfish Boats 272 CC 2022 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 600 hp, the Sailfish 290 CC 2013 has a 400-hp advantage over the Sailfish Boats 272 CC 2022's 200-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sailfish 290 CC 2013 carries 240 gallons versus 177 gallons in the Sailfish Boats 272 CC 2022. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sailfish 290 CC 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Sailfish Boats 272 CC 2022 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sailfish 290 CC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sailfish 290 CC 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 9 passengers and at 28,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sailfish Boats 272 CC 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
