Sea Fox is built about 10 miles from my house. Its teh same family that brought you Renken Boats. They were very cheap and under built to begin with, but I'll have to say they've brought the quality up quite a bit(and price). They started out with some splashed hulls and new decks, A few years ago, they got serious and hired some real designers and came out with a whole new lien up of boats. They used to sell against trophy and Sea Pro, now they market them against Key West and Sea Hunt. Personally, they have a bad reputation that honestly they may not deserve. I wouldn't own an older one, the new ones are very nice. If you search on the hull truth, you'll get all kinds of horror stories about them

BTW, I was in Southport Sunday as well. I took Kendall to the aquarium and rode the ferry from Ft Fisher to Southport on the way home

My kids were at Fort Caswell for a Youth Retreat Saturday - Monday...the girls rode the van with the group but my son was fishing a tournament Saturday morning so my wife and I dropped him off then stayed the night at my parents place a Holden Beach.

That was an amazing amount of rain Sunday...like a hurricane without the wind.

What year would you say Sea Fox got better Spare?

I don't have any experience with Sea Fox, but something I've noticed is they seem to stretch the boats length for marketing reasons. Alot of this includes cap molded bow pulpits and euro transoms. If you look at one from the side, the actual running surface from where the keel starts to curve up towards the bow to the back edge of the euro transom seems small for the overall length of the boat. Something with a "23" foot hull length ends up having less room than some 18 footers.


Although these days many manufacturers are guilty of this. I wouldn't be interested in a newer Wellcraft either.

1994 25' Pursuit on Boat Angel.

I agree on the new boats, but it seems that the boats made in the mid 2000's that were made for the SKA 23' and under class are all in the 25 foot range but called 23's.

First post said it for me. LOL

Wellcraft 252?

Looks nice.

both the pursuit and teh wellcraft look nice. As far as the Sea Fox's go, I'd say around 2006? If you notice, all the older models were factory rigged with Suzukis, the newer models are all rigged with Yamahas.
