Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 vs Sea Fox 197CC 2009: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats

Both the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 and the Sea Fox 197CC 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 - Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 at 19,0 ft versus Sea Fox 197CC 2009 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Fox 197CC 2009 tips the scales at 1 900 lbs - 300 lbs less than the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 at 1 600 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 150 hp for the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 and 140 hp for the Sea Fox 197CC 2009. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Fox 197CC 2009 carries 60 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007. 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 Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Sea Fox 197CC 2009 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Fox 197CC 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 vs Sea Fox 197CC 2009 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 or the Sea Fox 197CC 2009?
The Sea Fox 197CC 2009 is the longer of the two at 19,0 feet overall. The Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 comes in at 19,0 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 or the Sea Fox 197CC 2009?
For trailering, the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 has the edge at 1 600 lbs dry weight versus 1 900 lbs for the Sea Fox 197CC 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows.

Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 is rated to a maximum of 150 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Sea Fox 197CC 2009 tops out at 140 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Sea Fox 197CC 2009 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 measures 94" wide, compared to 92" for the Sea Fox 197CC 2009. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

The Sea Fox 197CC 2009 has the bigger tank at 60 gallons, versus 47 gallons on the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007. That 13-gallon difference translates to roughly 39–65 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Yes - both the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 and the Sea Fox 197CC 2009 are built by Sea Fox. 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.
