Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Fox 236 WA Pro 2007 vs Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sea Fox 236 WA Pro 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Sea Fox 236 WA Pro 2007 at 23,0 ft versus Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 at 24,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 tips the scales at 4 200 lbs - 1 100 lbs less than the Sea Fox 236 WA Pro 2007 at 3 100 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 246 Commander 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Sea Fox 236 WA Pro 2007's 250-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 122 gal and 122 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Sea Fox 236 WA Pro 2007 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 24,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Fox 236 WA Pro 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
