Sailfish has designed 252 CC to be flexible. Whether you’re fishing offshore, cruising with family, or just enjoying a day on the water, this boat adapts to your lifestyle. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share Sailfish Boats Launches New 252 Center Console for Anglers and Families Aziza | BASCO Team Aug 21, 2025 Sailfish has designed 252 CC to be flexible. Whether you’re fishing offshore, cruising with family, or just enjoying a day on the water, this boat adapts to your lifestyle. If you’re a boating enthusiast, a family who loves weekends on the water, or an angler chasing the next big catch, Sailfish Boats has some exciting news for you. They’ve just launched their latest model, the 252 Center Console, and it’s designed to handle it all. Why This Boat Stands Out Sailfish has designed 252 CC to be flexible. Whether you’re fishing offshore, cruising with family, or just enjoying a day on the water, this boat adapts to your lifestyle. Here’s what makes it special: One for fishing enthusiasts with dual 10-gallon livewells, and one for family outings with a fold-down rear seat and a 25-gallon livewell. From single 300–400 HP engines to twin 150–200 HP setups, built to give you a smooth and stable ride. Ergonomic seating, Baja beach table, in-deck cooler, entertainment package, and plenty of storage space. Made from Kevlar, carbon fiber, and quad-axial fiberglass to ensure this boat lasts for years. Sailfish’s proprietary Variable Degree Stepped (VDS) hull ensures the ride is stable even when waters get choppy. And with premium engines from Mercury, Yamaha, or Suzuki, you can rely on power and precision whenever you’re out there. Whether your priority is fishing, family fun, or weekend cruising, the 252 Center Console gives you the best of both worlds. It’s versatile, powerful, and built for comfort. Sailfish Boats calls it a “game-changer” for boating enthusiasts, and after looking at all its features, it’s hard to disagree. Credit: Information sourced from Sailfish Boats press release .

Here are some steps on how to set the perfect reserve price for your boat - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Boating < Back Share OBA Selling Tip # 3 | Tips for Setting the Perfect Reserve Price in an Online Auction Aziza | BASCO Boating Oct 14, 2024 Here are some steps on how to set the perfect reserve price for your boat One crucial factor in successfully selling your boat through an online auction is setting the right reserve price. But you might be wondering, what exactly is a reserve price? Reserve price is the minimum price you're willing to accept. Get it right, and you’ll attract serious buyers. Get it wrong, and your boat could go unsold. Here are some steps on how to set the perfect reserve price for your boat: 1. Understand Your Boat’s Market Value The first step is determining the true market value of your boat. Research boats similar to yours in terms of make, model, age, and condition. This will help you set a competitive reserve price. However, if you're unsure, it's a good idea to consult professionals who know the market well. 2. Factor in Selling Costs Don’t overlook the costs associated with selling your boat through an online auction. Fees for listing, commission, and transportation add up. Ensure your reserve price accounts for these expenses, so you’re not losing money on the deal. 3. Be Honest About the Condition Boats that are well-maintained will command higher prices, while those needing repairs will naturally sell for less. Be realistic about your boat’s condition when setting the reserve. If your boat has any upgrades, such as new electronics or a refurbished interior, make sure to mention that in your listing and adjust your reserve price accordingly. 4. Be Flexible If your boat isn’t generating the interest you expected, be prepared to adjust your reserve price. Sometimes a slight reduction can bring in more buyers, especially if they feel they’re getting a good deal. Setting the perfect reserve price involves balancing what you want with what buyers are willing to pay. Take your time researching, and don’t hesitate to consult experts like BASCO Boating for personalized advice. Happy selling! Media Gallery ← Previous Next →
