This 2022 Sea Fox 288 Commander is one of the most completely optioned examples you will find on the market — a lightly used, freshly serviced offshore center console that was built to fish hard, cruise comfortably, and do both without compromise.
The 288 Commander has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the finest value-per-dollar offshore center consoles ever produced. Sea Fox built this model to compete directly with boats priced at $250,000 and above — and it delivers. The 9’8” beam gives the cockpit a roomy, planted feel offshore, the 20-degree deadrise keeps the ride dry and controlled in a chop, and the 200-gallon fuel capacity combined with twin F300 efficiency produces a theoretical cruising range approaching 450 miles. Top end is 58+ MPH by factory test and 61 MPH in independent press testing.
The hull wears the premium Silver Shark two-tone side color with black powder-coated outrigger hardware and hard top frame — a sharp, purposeful combination that sets this boat apart at the dock. Inside, the platinum upholstery package with matching teak accent stitching delivers a level of finish that rivals boats at twice the price. The Ultima Hard Top comes fully loaded: slide-open moonroof, JL Audio system with dual 10” subwoofers and six 7.7” speakers, recessed LED spreaders, and LED mood lighting throughout.
At the helm, dual Garmin 8612XSVS 12” touchscreens with side-scan and down-scan sonar capability give you a complete picture of the water column and bottom. The factory-installed Garmin GMR Fantom 24 solid-state radome radar rounds out a navigation and electronics suite that most 35-footers would be proud to carry. A Garmin GT51M-TM transom-mount transducer and 8-foot Centennial VHF antenna with stainless ratchet mount complete the communications package.
The fishing layout is tournament-ready from stem to stern. A 65-quart Yeti cooler rides on an electric sliding track beneath the rigging station. The large pressurized livewell at the transom handles serious bait loads. A factory 15-foot outrigger kit with GS280 black anodized poles is installed and rigged, with TACO hardware throughout. A Minn Kota Terrova bow-mount trolling motor is powered by a dedicated bank of Ionic lithium batteries — a setup that gives you silent, GPS-anchored positioning without touching the main engines or the ship’s house battery bank.
The under-console compartment includes a marine head with electric overboard waste discharge — a factory option that makes extended day trips and offshore runs comfortable for the whole crew. A Guest ChargePro 40-amp 4-bank onboard battery charger keeps every battery system topped off at the dock.
The boat comes with its original LoadRite tandem-axle trailer (GVWR 11,960 lbs, MFG October 2021), making this a fully self-sufficient, go-anywhere package. No slip required. Launch at first light, be on the canyon by sunrise.
With 120 low hours, a complete fresh service, and a turnkey package that includes radar, outriggers, trolling motor, lithium power, and trailer — she represents exceptional value for a buyer who wants to fish the tributaries, bays, and offshore waters without spending the next six months sourcing and installing gear.
