As an enthusiast in the realm of marine vehicles, it was with much interest that I recently took a closer look at the 2010 Sea Fox Boats 172 Center Console. Designed for the ardent angler, the Sea Fox 172 Center Console is categorized as a Fiberglass Fish, indicative of its primary purpose: providing an unmatched experience for those with a passion for fishing.
Made by Sea Fox, a manufacturer known for their quality and commitment to excellence, this model holds true to that reputation. At 17'1" in length and with a beam of 6'10", it's a midsized boat that boasts enough space for up to 5 people, making it a great choice for small group fishing trips. The boat itself weighs 1,350 lbs, with a maximum capacity of around 1,300 lbs, inclusive of passengers and gear. Given its size, it supports a maximum horsepower of 115 HP, offering a delightful balance of power and control.
Some essential features of this boat include a 12 Volt power point, a 48 quart removable cooler with cushion and backrest, and an aerated live well 12 gallon. This boat also comes with a compass and navigation lights, facilitating safe navigation in different conditions and times of day. The courtesy lights enhance visibility during dim conditions and the horn proves essential for signaling and warning other vessels. Additionally, there's a swim platform with a ladder, amplifying convenience for those occasional refreshing dips in the water.
This Sea Fox 172 Center Console model employs the use of isothalic gel coat and foam cored deck, reinforcing its durability. Noteworthy is the 'limited lifetime hull warranty' - providing a reassuring testament to the boat’s longevity. The non-skid deck surface and self-bailing cockpit reveal careful attention to safety, whilst the stainless steel hardware and through hulls speak positively of the build quality. Furthermore, bow storage, an anchor locker, and a waterproof storage tube add to the available provisions meant for ensuring a neat and organised space.
Characterized by a bridge clearance of about 4'9.5", a deadrise of 15°, and fuel capacity of about 27 gallons, the Sea Fox 172 Center Console demonstrates its potential to be an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced users, being an amalgamation of good design, smartly allocated space, supreme utility, and utmost comfort.
The 2010 Sea Fox Boats 172 Center Console retails for $8,901, a reasonable investment for a classic build and multiple amenities it offers. Nevertheless, it can be found for an invoice price of $6,593 at select dealers. Bearing in mind the features and benefits this vessel provides, it is worth considering for every fishing enthusiast.
All in all, the Sea Fox Boats 172 Center Console 2010 is a vessel designed with fishing enthusiasts in mind. With its high-quality construction, thoughtful features, and commendable performance, it offers great value for money and is an investment that ensures rich and rewarding fishing experiences.

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
