Coming from a trusted and leading name in the boat industry, the 2023 Sailfish Boat Dual Console Series 245DC reaffirms Sailfish Boats’ commitment to providing the market with state-of-the-art and high quality boats. As a keen observer of boats and someone who has a penchant for providing unbiased reviews, I found this new addition to Sailfish Boats' portfolio as a fascinating and thoughtfully designed boat that strikes the perfect balance between luxury and performance.
One of the critical aspects that caught my attention from the initial description is the construction: Carbon Fiber and Kevlar reinforced deck and hull. This indicates a commitment for durability and robust performance in various water conditions. The fact that it incorporates Closed Cell Foam Flotation further underscores its safety features. Also, the VDS Hull Design is an innovative touch that is expected to enhance speed and stability.
Another highlight of this boat is its impressive, exclusive Dot Matrix Non-Skid flooring, which not only enhances the safety aspect but also adds an appealing aesthetic finish to the boat’s design. Talking on a similar note, the state-of-the-art Full Digital Instrumentation and LED lighting in the interior cockpit, bilge, and navigation are other attractive features that will provide an advanced and comfortable boating experience.
Fishing enthusiasts would be delighted with this boat. It comes equipped with a Circulating Baitwell with LED lighting and an advanced vacuum pump for the In-Floor Fish Box, among other features.
The boat also boasts numerous comfort features like Chaise Lounge style seating, Deluxe Captain’s chair with flip-up bolster and flip-up armrest, and a finished fiberglass head with Corian countertops, a freshwater sink, and a Porta Potti. The storage space is well-designed with recessed rod storage, an in-floor ski locker and other compartments.
For the specifications, the 26 feet long rigged boat is designed to handle up to 300HP, which is quite impressive for a boat of this size. With a fuel capacity of 120 gallons and freshwater capacity of 14 gallons, this boat can handle long trips out in the water. The weight of 5,350 lbs speaks volume about its robustness.
At a cost of $150,642, this premium boat is not cheap. But given its exceptional, luxurious features and commitment to performance and safety, it is worth every penny for boat enthusiasts or someone who wants to invest in a high-quality, long-lasting boat.
To sum up, the 2023 Sailfish Boat Dual Console Series 245DC is a top-of-the-line product that offers an outstanding combination of performance, luxury, and safety. Whether you are a fishing enthusiast or a recreational boater, this boat will not disappoint you.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
