Sailfish 245 DC: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Sailfish 245DC is a 24-foot dual console boat designed with families and anglers in mind, offering a combination of seaworthiness, comfort, and versatile amenities. Its relatively high freeboard—38 inches forward and 34.5 inches aft—contributes to a deep and safe cockpit, enhancing stability and protection in various sea conditions. This design choice results in a heavier vessel compared to others in its class but prioritizes ride quality and seaworthiness without sacrificing much speed.

Exterior Design and Hull Characteristics

Measuring 24 feet in length overall with an 8-foot 6-inch beam and an 18-inch draft, the Sailfish 245DC features a unique variable deadrise hull design. The hull incorporates three different deadrise angles at the transom, ranging from approximately 22 to 24 degrees, with a slight concavity that helps cushion the ride in choppy waters. This configuration balances a deep V forward for smooth passage through waves with flatter sections aft for increased stability and speed. Reverse chines and molded reliefs in the hull bottom effectively deflect water laterally, keeping the boat dry during operation.

Performance and Power

Our test boat was equipped with a single 300-horsepower Yamaha outboard engine paired with a 15.5-inch by 17-inch propeller. Under test conditions with two people aboard and 62% fuel load, the boat achieved a top speed of 46.4 miles per hour. The most fuel-efficient cruising speed was recorded at 3,500 RPM, delivering 24.5 miles per hour while consuming 9.1 gallons per hour, resulting in a range of approximately 267 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration was brisk, with a time to plane of 7.6 seconds and reaching 30 miles per hour in 10.4 seconds. The boat’s design emphasizes a balance between speed, stability, and fuel economy.

Bow and Cockpit Layout

The bow area features a 21-inch wide passageway and spacious lounge seats measuring 41 inches front to back with 17-inch high padded seat backs. Beneath the loungers are self-draining insulated compartments suitable for use as fish boxes, coolers, or storage. The bow also includes recessed drink holders, 12-volt plugs, speakers, and courtesy lighting. An optional stainless steel anchor with windlass and chain rode enhances anchoring convenience. The cockpit is notably large for a boat of this size, offering 8 feet of width and 36 inches of depth aft, providing 20 square feet of fishing space that can quickly convert to seating for up to nine people. Upholstery and bolsters are standard, comfortable, and well-crafted.

Helm and Console Features

The helm station is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring a high windshield that offers excellent wind protection and visibility for a seated operator of average height. The helm chair is plush with a high backrest, adjustable armrests, and mounted on an aluminum pedestal. The console layout includes a lockable glove box, optional Fusion stereo controls, USB ports, backlit accessory switches, an optional navigation screen, digital engine diagnostics, trim tab controls, and an UltraFlex power steering control pad with selectable modes for fishing, cruising, or sport. The leather-wrapped stainless steel steering wheel is tilt-adjustable, and the ignition is positioned to avoid knee strikes. Additional thoughtful details include a black vinyl dash area to reduce windshield glare and a compass aligned with the wheel.

Companion Seating and Head Compartment

Opposite the helm is a versatile companion seating arrangement built on a fiberglass base that functions as four seats in one, with an insulated cooler beneath and space for a carry-on cooler. The seat back is adjustable to face forward, aft, or recline. Forward of the companion seat is a spacious, lockable head compartment featuring a fiberglass liner, Corian countertop with sink and faucet, an opening port light for ventilation, towel rack, seagrass mat flooring, and lighting. The compartment offers 54 inches of headroom, which is generous for a boat of this size, and accommodates either a porta-potty or an electric head.

Cockpit Amenities and Storage

The cockpit is equipped with standard rod holders that double as cup holders, with additional rod holders installed in the gunnels on the test boat. A wet bar with a flip-up sink, Corian countertop, cutting board, drink holders, and a drain gutter enhances convenience for entertaining or fishing activities. Storage includes a locker in the sole between helm and companion seats for boards and gear. The aft seat lifts on a gas-assist strut to provide access to pumps, the outboard fuel primer, and other mechanical components. All rod holders and cup holders drain overboard, contributing to a dry cockpit environment.

Mechanical and Utility Features

The Sailfish 245DC has a simplified plumbing system with a single through-hull fitting below the waterline supplying both the live well and raw water washdown, accessible via a labeled seacock hatch. Battery management is facilitated by a conveniently located battery switch, breaker, monitor, and charging plug near the transom door. The transom includes a freshwater shower wand connected to a 14-gallon tank, holders for rigging tools, rod holders, and a 25-gallon oval live well with an acrylic lid. An optional tow pylon is centrally mounted on the transom. The swim platform houses a four-step reboarding ladder, though a nearby handhold would improve safety. The outboard motor tilts fully out of the water, and there is adequate space to port for boarding or water sports launch.

Optional Equipment and Hardtop

The test boat featured an optional fiberglass hardtop equipped with webbing for personal flotation devices, four rod holders, speakers, LED cockpit lights for night fishing, and five overhead white lights illuminating the helm area. A bimini top is standard equipment, providing additional shade and weather protection.

Conclusion

The Sailfish 245DC presents a thoughtfully designed dual console boat that balances seaworthiness, comfort, and versatility. Its high freeboard and variable deadrise hull deliver a smooth, stable ride, while the spacious cockpit and well-appointed helm and companion areas accommodate both family outings and serious fishing excursions. Performance is strong and efficient for its class, and the boat’s numerous practical features and storage options enhance usability. Overall, the 245DC stands out as a capable and comfortable choice for anglers and families seeking a reliable and well-equipped dual console boat.
