Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Fox 20 DC Sport 2007 vs Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sea Fox 20 DC Sport 2007 vs Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 measures 24,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 22,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sea Fox 20 DC Sport 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). At 2 lbs and 42 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 300 hp, the Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the Sea Fox 20 DC Sport 2007'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 Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 carries 122 gallons versus 58 gallons in the Sea Fox 20 DC 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 20 DC Sport 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Fox 20 DC Sport 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Fox 20 DC Sport 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
