Sea-Doo Fish Pro Sport PWC For Sale

The Sea-Doo Fish Pro Sport is a personal watercraft built around fishing, descended from the 2019 Fish Pro that was the first PWC designed specifically for anglers. It measures 147 inches long and 49.4 inches wide, stands 44.9 inches tall, and weighs about 856 pounds dry with a passenger capacity of 600 pounds. Seating accommodates three adults, though it works best as a solo or two-person fishing platform that can reach the shallow, tight spots larger boats cannot. The hull has been run in water as shallow as half a foot, which makes it suited to bays, intercoastal flats and lakes.

The Fish Pro Sport 170 is powered by the Rotax 1630 ACE engine producing 170 horsepower, runs on 87 octane, and in the right conditions reaches speeds close to 60 mph. The earlier Fish Pro used a 1494cc naturally aspirated Rotax rated at 155 horsepower and will hold 50 mph. The proprietary ST3 hull gives it real stability, enough to stand on one side and cast without worry, and it has handled the chop at Miami's Haulover inlet and swells in the 5-to-8-foot range. The iBR intelligent braking and reverse system, variable trim, and a ski/wake assist mode round out the handling controls.

At the helm, a 7-inch Garmin Echomap comes standard, combining a fish finder with navigation and charting; earlier units carried the Echomap Plus 62cv with a 6-inch screen and an in-hull transducer. A slow/trolling mode lets you lock in one of nine preset speeds from the 7.6-inch digital display to match wind and current, leaving your hands free to fish. A Bluetooth stereo pairs to a smartphone that stows in a waterproof, direct-access front holder.

Fishing-specific gear sets this model apart. An aft deck extended 11.5 inches adds room and stability and supports the LinQ quick-latch system, which mounts a 13.5-gallon cooler with a soft cutting surface, an integrated ruler, and rod holders that shift between trolling and carrying positions. Two sets of LinQ points let you add a second cooler, a 4.5-gallon gas caddy or a storage box behind the main cooler. Angled side foot wells with extended padding up the gunnels make sitting sideways comfortable, and a swivel seat is included.

Storage is generous: a front bin holds 25.3 gallons and locks into place, with an organizer for items you need quickly. The Fish Pro Sport carries about 18 gallons of fuel for an estimated 80 to 100 miles of range. Shoppers comparing the Fish Pro Sport vs Trophy should weigh the Trophy's enclosed live-well cooler, which has a timer and continuous-run switch but no in-water drain. Boat-show financing on a Sport has run roughly $325 per month including the Garmin, while used Fish Pro units have been found in the $14,000 to $17,000 range. The cooler grows heavy when full and the craft rides low at the stern in live-well use, points worth considering before you buy.
