2007 Sailfish Sailfish 2660-270 Center Console — Marrero, LA

A 2007 Sailfish 2660 at Marrero, Louisiana, asking $69,995 through The Boat Yard. Sailfish has built saltwater fishing boats at Cairo, Georgia since 1986, and the yard's signature is what this model trades on: a variable-deadrise hull drawn to land softly in a head sea without rolling hard adrift, and no-wood construction — composite stringers, foam-cored transom — on a value ticket.

The 2660 is that idea at 26 feet — 26.17 ft of hull on a full 9-ft beam, a plain offshore center console rather than anyone's flagship — and it held its place in the catalog, under 2660 and later 270 badges, from 2002 to 2021. One honesty note before the price: we hold no sister 2660 and we have not surveyed this hull, so the asking has no same-model yardstick.

What our shelf does place is the price, and the placement is uncomfortable: on the powerboat ladder, $11,905 more buys the 2018 Wellcraft 262 Fisherman at Miami Beach — the same 26 feet, eleven years newer:

Where the opposite instinct leads — money first, footage second — the 2018 Cobia 220 at Tampa is the same brief four feet down, eleven years newer and $40,095 under this boat:

And the upgrade is listed in the same town: the 2017 Sea Fox 288 Commander, also at Marrero, buys two more feet and ten fewer years for $50,000 over this asking:

But if it is the 2660's own mix you are after — plain, proven, no wood in the hull — this is the one to survey first:
