2018 Sea Hunt Gamefish 27

Step aboard and the Gamefish 27 feels bigger than the specs suggest. The forward seating converts from a lounging space to a wide-open casting deck in minutes, so you’re just as ready for family sandbar days as you are for a run to the ledge. The helm layout gives you clean sightlines and room to stand comfortably, even with a couple of crew working the cockpit. Coaming pads run where you need them, and the transom door and swim platform make diving, boarding, and handling a big fish at boatside far easier. Thoughtful touches—like dedicated tackle storage and easy-access battery and pump compartments—show this is a boat designed by people who actually fish.

In these waters, you need a hull that can shrug off afternoon chop and unpredictable currents, and the Gamefish 27’s deep-V design does exactly that. It’s the right size to slip into shallow creeks and inlets, yet has the range and confidence for offshore bottom drops and pelagic runs. Twin outboards make maneuvering around crowded marinas and tight docks less stressful and add security when you’re miles from the inlet. The layout balances forward seating and serious cockpit space, so you can chase cobia in the morning and cruise with friends at sunset. It’s a versatile platform that matches the mixed inshore–nearshore–offshore lifestyle this area demands.
