First Time Boat Buyer Questions

[Evan02]

Im a first time boat buyer and we were looking at a 2017 Sea Fox 226 Commander for about $48k, the boat will be used for mainly deep sea fishing. Is sea fox a good brand and also is the price fair or should I keep looking around? Also, is there anything in particular I should know about this make and model?



Thanks!

I find it interesting that SeaFox says nothing about their hull design except that it has a 18 degree dead rise. Makes me somewhat suspicious of the ride quality.

The 18 degree deadrise isn't all that concerning, mine sports a 20 degree, but most boats marketed / designed for the "offshore" crowd are quick to point out the virtues of their hull design. I find no such discussions in their marketing literature
