This version of the Sailfish 2660 may be shorter, but it still has the wide nine-foot beam to give plenty of fish-fighting space on deck. Couple that with high gunwales for safety and a dry ride and you get another great offshore fisher from Sailfish in a package more economical to tow and store.
For family fun, there's an optional stowaway transom seat for cockpit guests. Optional bow cushions add comfort for sunning and cruising. A transom reboarding ladder and platform make climbing aboard after a swim easy. Then, step below into the roomy head under the console and take a shower with fresh water.
For fishing, a 35-gallon baitwell in the transom has power recirculation and a high-speed pickup to keep fish fresh during long hauls to the fishing grounds. Wide cockpit and bow areas make fighting fish easy.
The Sailfish VDS-4 hull gets up on plane quickly with one Z-300 Yamaha engine, and equipped that way it's ideal for conservative offshore jaunts. Anglers wishing to venture out 30, 40 and even 50 miles might opt for a twin setup for redundancy and safety. Twin F-150s are a pricey upgrade but they offer four-stroke quietness while giving the snap and acceleration usually only provided by two-stroke engines. Twin 115s are a more economical option, still offering good midrange control while sacrificing some on the hole shot and top speed.
NMMA certification means this boat is built to ABYC and USCG standards of safety and reliability. That state of mind, plus fishing features and tons of comfort, make this a getaway boat for the whole family.
