Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 vs Sea Fox 240 Viper 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 is a modified-V design and the Sea Fox 240 Viper 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sea Fox 240 Viper 2013 measures 24,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 at 19,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Fox 240 Viper 2013 tips the scales at 3 300 lbs - 1 700 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Sea Fox 240 Viper 2013 has a 150-hp advantage over the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007's 150-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Fox 240 Viper 2013 carries 90 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 240 Viper 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Fox 240 Viper 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Fox 240 Viper 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 24,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Fox 19 BF Sport 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
