Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Fox 236WA 2010 vs Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Sea Fox 236WA 2010 against a deep vee Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sea Fox 236WA 2010 at 23,3 ft versus Sea Fox 246 Commander 2013 at 24,3 ft. At 31 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 50-hp advantage over the Sea Fox 236WA 2010'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 236WA 2010 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 236WA 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Fox 236WA 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 23,3 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.
