Sailfish 320 CC:


Robust Build & 54.4 MPH WOT

Sailfish 320 CC

We tested the Sailfish 320 CC on open water in 15- to 20-knot winds and found her up to the task, thanks to her high bulwarks and broad flare forward and a 24-degree transom deadrise. She's capable of getting to distant fishing locations in a hurry, recording a top speed of 54.4 mph with twin Mercury Verado 350s.

The TAHOE® 450 TS is an 18'5" (5.61 m) entry-level runabout that comes as a complete turnkey package right down to the factory-matched trailer and even a fire extinguisher. She comes standard with a 90-hp Mercury outboard, but we tested the upgraded 115. The Powerglide II hull bottom is designed to make the boat nimble in turns as well as creating a good wake for tow-sports.
