Sailfish 232 CC

When Sailfish Boats recently refreshed its aging but popular 220 CC, it wasn’t satisfied with just giving the boat a few minor cosmetic tweaks here and there.

Rather, the company started from the keel up and completely reimagined the boat.

For starters, the new 232 center console rides on Sailfish’s Variable Deadrise Stepped (VDS) hull for exceptional stability, agility and fuel economy. The hull curves from an aggressive 24-degree step at the keel to slice through the chop for a silky smooth ride to a 23-degree mid-surface that reduces friction and maximizes fuel efficiency, culminating in a 22-degree surface closer to the chines to enhance stability when the boat is at rest. Sailfish calls this a “three-hulls-in-one” platform for an ideal blend of stability and performance, whether navigating calm waters or powering through chunky swells.

Inside that advanced hull form, the 232 CC delights with a fully self-bailing cockpit and a long list of standard features including dual, port and starboard walk-thru transom doors, LED lighting throughout, a Fusion stereo with Rockford Fosgate LED-illuminated speakers, twin insulated fishboxes, twin baitwells, loads of rod and gear storage, a generous head compartment with a porta-potti, hydraulic steering and a leaning post with flip-up bolsters. A standard 58-quart carry-on Engel cooler is complemented by a Baja transom beach cooler to keep a cold drink within reach at all times.

The generous T-top includes an integrated, full-height windshield, while up in the bow, comfy passenger seating with tall chaise backrests provides all-day comfort.

“This replaces the 220 CC, bringing new features and a fresher, more contemporary look to one of our most popular models,” says Rob Parmentier, Sailfish Boats president and CEO. “The 232 is a phenomenal Great Lakes boat with its 108-gallon fuel tank and VDS hull design for a smooth, stable ride on big water.”
