Sailfish 242 CC: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Sailfish 242 is a twin-engine center console boat designed primarily for serious offshore fishing while also accommodating family-friendly activities. With a length overall of 26 feet when equipped with outboard engines and bow pulpit, a beam of 9 feet, and a draft of 18 inches with the outboard raised, the vessel weighs approximately 5,600 pounds dry. It carries 146 gallons of fuel and 14 gallons of fresh water, making it suitable for extended trips offshore. The design balances hardcore fishing amenities with comfort and versatility, allowing it to serve both anglers and families.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The bow area features an optional electric windlass, stainless steel anchor with polished roller, and dedicated anchor rode cleats that help maintain boat position at anchor. The bow offers ample seating with backrests and insulated storage boxes beneath that can function as fish boxes or dry storage. The cockpit has a deep design with a freeboard of 40 inches at the bow and 32 inches aft, enhancing offshore safety and family usability. The cockpit includes two large insulated 260-quart fish boxes with overboard drains, a 30-gallon livewell, six stainless steel rod holders, cockpit bolsters, and tow rails. The transom features removable jump seats, a transom door leading to a built-in swim ladder, a freshwater shower, and a deep motor well with easy bilge access. Optional packages enhance the boat’s versatility: the Comfort Package adds bow cushions, backrests, and jump seat inserts; the Entertainment Package includes a ski pylon, fusion stereo, underwater LED lights, and a bow table. The optional fiberglass T-top provides 6 feet 6 inches of headroom, multiple rod holders, integrated lighting, and a sturdy support structure.
Helm and Controls
The helm is ergonomically designed with the steering wheel offset to one side, allowing space for up to three people under the windshield. It features a deep, gasketed storage compartment with sectional organizers and drainage, a flush-mounted compass aligned with the wheel, backlit and clearly marked switches, and conveniently placed trim tab and windlass controls. The helm includes a tilt wheel and built-in footrest with additional storage. Standard seating includes two captain’s chairs on pedestals, but optional leaning posts provide enhanced tackle storage and comfort, with the LP4 model offering a wide bench seat and integrated cooler storage. The head compartment is spacious with a bi-fold door, porcelain marine head, built-in sink with pull-out shower, 67 inches of headroom, and ample storage including battery switches and breakers within easy reach.
Power and Performance
The test boat was powered by twin Yamaha 150-horsepower outboards with 13 3/4 by 19-inch propellers. At wide-open throttle (5,900 RPM), it achieved a top speed of 52.2 miles per hour. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 3,000 RPM, where the boat traveled 20.4 miles per hour while burning 7.8 gallons per hour, yielding a range of 342 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. At 4,500 RPM, the boat reached 38.8 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 18.5 gallons per hour, translating to a range of 276 statute miles. Acceleration to plane took 5.3 seconds, and reaching 30 miles per hour took 7.8 seconds. Comparisons with a single Yamaha 300-horsepower engine showed that the single engine was 26% more fuel efficient at best cruise but slightly slower at higher RPMs. The hull features a Variable Degree Stepped Hull (VDS) design, which cushions reentry in rough conditions, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances stability at rest. Handling tests demonstrated no ventilation or pounding even in wake conditions, and the boat responded well to engine trim and trim tabs, which are recommended for optimal performance.
