Sea Fox Boats has done it yet again with their 2024 Sea Fox Boat 228 Commander! As an established authority in boating equipment and marine life, we at See Dealer Cost were more than eager to examine this breakthrough in the Fiberglass Fish category. Not only did the boat meet our expectations, but it also surpassed them.
The 228 Commander shines in its functionality and aesthetics. One of the remarkable features of this boat is its balance between power and accommodation. Boasting a maximum horsepower of 250 and fuel capacity of 90 gallons, it's clear this is not a boat that compromises on performance. Additionally, it comfortably seats 8 people, ensuring that your fishing trip is not a lonely endeavor.
Functionality is at the forefront of the design of the 228 Commander. It boasts automatic 1100 GPH bilge pumps, and a self-bailing cockpit lined with SST grates, contributing to the effortlessness of its maintenance. Furthermore, the boat includes an anchor locker, battery switch and separate storage compartments for fish and other goods, striking an excellent balance between utilitarian purpose and comfort.
The boat carries a plethora of modern amenities making your fishing experience a sheer pleasure. It carries a raw water washdown, LED navigation lights, and courtesy lights. Additionally, its console comes with a full digital gauge instrumentation set up, including a tachometer, speedometer, volt, fuel, and backlight. For those lengthy fishing trips, the boat even features a portable toilet.
The 2024 Sea Fox Boat 228 Commander is not just functional but a sight to behold. With a silver boot stripe available on the White Pearl hull and a sand-grip deck surface, beauty and practicality mesh seamlessly. The upholstery boasts marine-grade vinyl and faux teak decking that won’t fail to impress any passenger aboard.
Finally, with a limited lifetime warranty on the hull, it’s hard to argue against the sheer value of this boat. At an MSRP of $70,380 and dealer invoice of $59,823, it presents tremendous value for the money. Sea Fox Boats has outdone themselves with the 228 Commander – equipping it with utilitarian features and sleek design without losing sight of the ultimate goal: to enhance the joy and success of the fishing experience.
There's more to fishing than just catching fish. It's about the journey, the experiences shared with fellow boaters, and the tools that enhance this experience. And without a doubt, the Sea Fox Boat 228 Commander 2024 offers superb tools to make your fishing journeys unforgettable.

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
