Buyer questions
Eight questions buyers ask about the Sea Fox 288 Commander, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
On US Marine Connection right now there are three approved, priced Sea Fox 288 Commander listings, and all three are asking $129,977. That makes the range $129,977 to $129,977 with a median of $129,977. Those are asking prices, not recorded sale prices, so what a boat actually closes at can differ. All three listings include photos, and each is a center console.
The current listings cover model years 2020 through 2022: one 2020, one 2021 and one 2022. That is a tight three-year spread, so you are comparing fairly recent boats rather than older hulls. All three are center consoles with twin Yamaha outboards and fiberglass or unspecified hull notes, and all three carry the same asking price of $129,977.
The site's hours field is not filled in on these listings, but the dealer descriptions do state figures: 263 hours on the 2020, 375 on the 2022 and 493 on the 2021. With only three boats that is not enough to call a typical number. Treat the described hours as a starting point and ask for engine reports or service records to confirm them.
These are 2020 to 2022 center consoles with twin Yamaha outboards, so start with engine diagnostic reports and service history for both motors, since the descriptions list 263 to 493 hours. Check the fiberglass hull for stress cracks and soft spots, look at the transom and rigging where the outboards mount, test all electronics and pumps, and confirm the stated hours match the engine computers.
The descriptions here stay to the basics: a center console layout, roughly 28 feet LOA, a beam of 9 feet 6 inches to 9 feet 8 inches, twin Yamaha outboards rated 500 or 600 horsepower, and fiberglass hull construction on two of the three. No other equipment is named, so ask the seller directly about electronics, seating, livewells and canvas before assuming anything.
The facts here point that way: a 28-foot center console with a beam near 9 feet 8 inches and twin Yamaha outboards making 500 or 600 horsepower is a layout built for running out and back. The listings do not describe fishing equipment such as livewells or outriggers, so if offshore work is your plan, confirm what rigging each boat actually carries.
All three 288 Commander listings on US Marine Connection are in Bradenton, Florida. There are no other cities represented for this model at the moment, so buyers outside the Gulf coast of Florida should plan on a trip to inspect or arrange their own way to move the boat. Each listing has photos, which helps with an early look before you travel.
Right now there is no variation at all. All three boats, spanning 2020 to 2022, are listed at $129,977, so the low, high and median are identical. That means year, stated hours of 263 to 493, and the 500 versus 600 horsepower twin Yamaha setups are not reflected in the asking prices, and those differences are worth weighing yourself.
Answers are written from approved, priced listings on US Marine Connection— asking prices, not sale prices — and from what the dealers' own descriptions say. Figures in the strip above are live; the answers refresh as inventory changes.
