2019 Sea Fox 328 Commander10m

You can’t step on the swim platform of 328 Commander and not immediately notice that the vibe is all about fishing. At the stern is a 50-gallon pressurized live well that looks like an Olympic-sized swimming pool for pilchards. There’s a kiddie pool next to it—a 35-gallon pressurized live well with an aquarium-like window built into it to help you keep an eye on how your baits are faring. Turn your attention forward and you’ll see an incredibly well-outfitted rigging station replete with an inset basin and drain tray for icing down rigged baits and a sink next to it. Pressurized fresh and raw water are both within reach for keeping things tidy. The lid for the bait area flips over to provide a cutting surface. Underneath the whole affair is a 65-quart cooler that slides out electrically—not on sail track or a number of other methods builders often use that simply don’t work well.

Underfoot is a more-than-ample complex of insulated fish lockers with macerated drains. There are four of them, to be exact, two straddling each side of the center console. In the aft cockpit and on the foredeck are small under-deck stowage lockers perfectly sized to accommodate five-gallon buckets. All locker hatches open and stay open easily, thanks to stainless-steel gas-assist struts. Adding to the 328’s offshore angling pedigree are more than 20 spots peppered around the deck and on the hardtop to stow your rods, and Taco outriggers. At the helm there are twin Garmin 7616XSV multifunction displays rigged up to a CHIRP transducer and 18-inch enclosed radar array.

Up front the 328 Commander gets its party on. There are two forward-facing lounges with flip-out backrests set into the bow, and a large backrest means another person can join in and face aft in a smaller bench seat. Drop a table in, throw out some party snacks and drinks, and happy hour is complete. Ahead of the center console is an expansive two-person, forward-facing lounge with more stowage underneath. Keeping it comfortable when nature or the Sand Man calls is a nicely outfitted cabin with an electric head, sink, and a padded area that most folks will used as rod and tackle stowage but can also serve as a berth.
