The Sea Fox 216 WA Pro 2007 vs Sea Fox 225 2006 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Sea Fox 216 WA Pro 2007 at 21,0 ft versus Sea Fox 225 2006 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Fox 216 WA Pro 2007 tips the scales at 2 900 lbs - 550 lbs more than the Sea Fox 225 2006 at 2 350 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 225 hp, the Sea Fox 225 2006 has a 25-hp advantage over the Sea Fox 216 WA Pro 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 216 WA Pro 2007 carries 101 gallons versus 60 gallons in the Sea Fox 225 2006. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Sea Fox 225 2006 and its 225-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Sea Fox 216 WA Pro 2007 with its 200-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
