Sailfish 2360 CC - Twin Engines

Most fish-boat companies call their boat a "family boat" in apology for the compromise between fish-ability, affordability and versatility.

The Sailfish 2360 cc, however, unabashedly accomplishes all three, satisfying tournament kingfishers who want to cruise, wakeboard and chill with family or friends after the weigh-in.

To be "hard-core" as a fisher, rod holders have to be positioned for easy access and there must be enough of them to meet the objective of tournament angling - which is to maximize your catch by efficiently offering the most baits possible. Ten rod holders in the gunnels and transom do just that. Six more in the t-top and four in the optional leaning post add even more flexibility. Three rod racks under each gunwale give a down-low approach to safely stowing tackle on the run. You can lean deeply over the gunwales by tucking your toes under the inside toe rail and resting your thighs against the thickly padded coaming bolsters. The round 30-gallon live-well, starboard on the transom, keeps baits better than wells with corners. A hefty trophy could easily be hauled over the platform and through the transom door to port.

For day-and-play boating, The deck converted quickly by putting into play the optional bowseating cushions and the standard transom jump seats. There is an optional seat to the front of the console for more seating. Coaming bolsters in cockpit.

The 2360, comes with heavy-duty, highly polished stainless-steel hardware. It's quality stuff too, not the metal that looks good in the showroom and then tarnishes or spot-rusts in 12 months when most warranties cease to cover it. Should water splash over onto the deck, enormous scuppers drain the interior quickly, and stainless-steel strainers keep sinkers, shrimp and acorns (should you keep your rig in the driveway) from plugging the pipes. Heavy-duty hardware is also evident in tinned wire that resists the destruction wrought by salt and moisture. Sailfish rigs exclusively with Yamaha.

Access to the batteries is effortless, which are in their bays beneath the helm. A voltage-sensitive relay monitors both starting and house batteries, and shifts engine-alternator power from the starter to the house should it be drained by electronics, livewell pumps or a booming subwoofer - an ideal option to go with the premium stereo system. All the above means you spend more time running your Sailfish and less time maintaining. Such details are found only on boats built by anglers for anglers.

Sailfish offers an innovative hull style that reverses the strakes from the bottom rather than adding them on. The deadrise is steepest between keel and first strake. Apply power, and the boat lifts naturally and rides softly on the steeper deadrise. At slower speeds, when some boats with constant deadrise tend to wallow or list in response to passengers moving about, this one continues to offer solid stability.

While Sailfish tells us it competes in the family market, we think it undersells its solidly constructed hull, superior hardware and hard-core fishability.

Thanks to Yamaha's reputation for reliability and Sailfish's quality all-composite construction, the Sailfish 2360 CC will satisfy the needs of kingfish-tournament hounds and the desires of their family members in more-casual pursuits.
