Sea fox ????
Any one know anything about them?
I now there not RIBs, but you get a lot of boat for your bucks!
I'm looking at the 216dc that was at the boat show, going to sea trial it in 2 weeks time

Without any doubt one of the most badly built boats I've ever seen.
They also build (throw together) Mariahs.

When you look at these boats they do look allot of boat for the money. Dirk would be more experianced than me on the build quality, on the handeling side of thing the Boston Whaler is #1 and I would say Sea Pro #2 the build quality of the Sea Pro looks very good to me also. Your then left With Benetau Flyer, Sea Pro, White Shark and a few others. Just remember they all look very nice but they are not a rib!
100% try on a lumpy day before you buy.

PS try steve the boaters sports fish, talk about good fun and deep v, pics attached

Nick;
Do not choose a boat purely on looks. Sea Fox has a terrible reputaion here in the US. Very poor build quality, cheap components, poor customer service.
Suggest you try hitting a hard boat or fishing forum and do a search.
