SAILFISH 316 DC
Boating|October 2022
Sailfish's new dual-console flagship is a multimission marvel.
SAILFISH 316 DC

Those who say dual-console boats aren't real fishing boats have never stepped aboard a boat like the Sailfish 316 DC, with a vast expanse of open cockpit space that channels the same feel as a traditional sport-fishing boat. Its best-of-both-worlds design allows occupants to go from fishing to entertaining in a blink or do both simultaneously.

The other vast attention-getter is the 316's 41-inch-high, three-piece windshield. Extra-tall windshields are one of the fastest-growing trends in modern recreational boating design but usually confined to boats like the decidedly unfishy Sea Ray 370 outboard. The 316 DC comes equipped with a standard hardtop, stiffened by carbon fiber in stress points, and joined to the windshield to provide an oasis from the wind and sea. And under the big top is 6 feet, 10 inches of headroom that could fit NBA star Kevin Durant. While a couple of small vents or an air-conditioning option would be nice on blazing days, the sliding center section of the windshield allows for a variable amount of airflow without the usual all-or-nothing option provided by flip-open windshield sectionals, though it can't be secured unless fully open or shut. For extra cockpit shade, there's a manual SureShade option for $10,414.

FLIPPING THE SWITCH
Boating

FLIPPING THE SWITCH

Much reporting focuses on reasons why one might choose electric marine power. The issues of range, speed, noise levels, winterizing and ethanol challenges, lake restrictions, environmental concerns and more all must be resolved on an individual basis. Little gets said about how a boater choosing to repower with electric actually gets that accomplished. Is it DIY? And if not, how does it get done?

STICKING POINTS - Anchoring alternatives, and why you will always need a traditional anchor.

My brother-in-law likes to fish offshore reefs, and the process once entailed navigating to a mark, dropping a float, and idling upwind or up-current to drop the anchor in hopes the set would drop us back to the float.
