2003 Seafox 217 Center Console - 2003 150HP Mercury Optimax – Excellent Cond. – w/ aluminum trailer – Turn-Key / Amazing Condition
We are very excited to represent such a very clean, reliable, sound, light off shore fishing boat / bay boat. This Seafox was owned by an elderly gentleman who recently sold his home on Padre Island to a land-locked retirement community and was saddest about having to give up this vessel as he loved it the entire time he owned it – and it definitely shows....

We will describe everything we know about this boat - we have been in the industry for over 25 years and certainly know boats / offshore / trailers / motors / and structural conditions. Feel free to reach out for any questions on this boat – and trades are certainly welcome. Cash is king. We have researched this boat, and anything comparable to this boat is priced much higher than hours – feel free to compare.
The SeaFox 217 is a very well known hull, and handles seas better than most boats in its class. It runs like a 24 foot boat, and is equipped with extensive creature comforts for offshore fishing, as well as being able to accommodate pleasure cruises and general family fun. The hull has a lifetime warranty, which is rare with most manufacturers – and nearly non-existent with new ones. There are absolutely zero stress cracks, transom issues, soft floors, or abuse to speak of anywhere on this hull. It has never been run aground, it has never been flooded or ran aground, never been in the shop for extensive repair – it is a no-stories hull – just the way we like it.
Hull
It is equipped with the following:
-Large livewell on the starboard stern
-Leaning post with rocket launchers and optional removable backrest for those days where you just want to cruise
-All upholstery is in good condition – and are original, as the boat has been barn kept for most of its life – so has not been under UV rays for extensive periods
-the center console has a porta-potty, and a small cabin below it
-stainless steel rub rail, bow rail
-Bimini top
-14 rod holders
-Igloo 94 Marine Cooler
-brand new ICOM IC-M330 VHF radio tested with adjustable antenna
-Brand new Simrad Cruise 9 inch GPS with transducer
-brand new navigation lights, all tested and working as they should
-new console storage for tackle, wallets, cup holders
-Ritchie compass
-Edson helm quick-turn knob
-several dry storage units, all latches work as they should
-12 volt to charge phones etc
-salt water wash-down
There is nothing to speak of on this hull, stress crack wise, transom wise, even the floors are not heavily used in regard to wear patterns – it is a very sound hull.
Motor
-Mercury 150HP Saltwater Series Offshore Edition Outboard
-Excellent condition, all parts have been serviced, lower unit has been serviced – waterpump replaced and working great
-New plugs
-New fuel – all fuel was replenished with fresh fuel before we introduced it to the carbureters – which also had a carb job done
-oil system on this motor works like a charm and is known to be reliable
-motor starts on a dime with no issues whatsoever
-we were told this boat has approximately 300 hours - but we do not have an hour meter on the boat – but the compression numbers look fantastic which is above and beyond when demonstrating this motor compared to other boats in this category
-no corrosion on the interior, lower unit has not been run aground- everything runs and works as it should
Trailer:
-McClain Tandem Aluminum trailer is in fantastic condition, there are absolutely no issues with the axles or the hubs
-framing has no excessive oxidation, all the rollers are as they should be, all the bunks are in above average condition, as well as all bracketry and lumber where it should be as it should be
-it has nice roller gauges and reflectors, all the lights work, the bow crank as well as jack are perfect
-the only thing one should consider for a long haul across country would be a couple spare tires – this trailer is equipped with a spare tire rack, but does not have a spare on it
