Sea Hunt BX24 2008 vs Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010: Which Modified-V Boat Fits Your Needs?

Both the Sea Hunt BX24 2008 and the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Sea Hunt BX24 2008 has a 50-hp advantage over the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010's 250-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 Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 carries 240 gallons versus 80 gallons in the Sea Hunt BX24 2008. 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 Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Sea Hunt BX24 2008 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Hunt BX24 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Sea Hunt BX24 2008 vs Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 - Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer - the Sea Hunt BX24 2008 or the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010?
For trailering, the Sea Hunt BX24 2008 has the edge at 2 850 lbs dry weight versus 5 600 lbs for the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Sea Hunt BX24 2008 is rated to a maximum of 300 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 tops out at 250 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Sea Hunt BX24 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 is certified for 8. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 measures 116" wide, compared to 102" for the Sea Hunt BX24 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Sea Hunt BX24 2008 or the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010?
The Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 has the bigger tank at 240 gallons, versus 80 gallons on the Sea Hunt BX24 2008. That 160-gallon difference translates to roughly 480–800 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Sea Hunt BX24 2008 and Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Sea Hunt BX24 2008 and the Sea Hunt Gamefish 29 2010 are built by Sea Hunt. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
