Sea Hunt Gamefish 27 Value: A Market Report (2026)
An independent, hand-reviewed market report. We don’t sell boats or listings. Last reviewed June 2026. (We don’t own a Gamefish 27, so the owner feedback below is sourced from boating forums and published reviews, and attributed.)
What’s a Sea Hunt Gamefish 27 worth? As of June 2026, a used Gamefish 27 is listed (asking) from about $70,000 (2015) up to $185,000 (2025), while new 2026 models run about $180,000 to $190,000. A typical four to six year old example (2019 to 2021) asks around $115,000 to $150,000, depending heavily on configuration. The Gamefish 27 is one of the best value offshore center consoles you can buy, and it tends to sell roughly 8 to 12 percent under asking. Selling figures here are honest estimates, not recorded sales.
The Sea Hunt Gamefish 27 is a fishing-focused 27 foot center console with a big reputation for value. Here’s what we found listed across the web, how it holds value by year, the one option that swings the price the most, and what owners actually say.
First, the option that moves the price: Coffin Box vs Forward Seating
The Gamefish 27 comes two ways up front, and it matters more than almost anything else on the window sticker:
- Coffin Box (CB): a big insulated fish box and casting platform in the bow. The hardcore fishing setup.
- Forward Seating (FS): a bow lounge with seating. More family friendly, and in our sample it often asks more thanks to broader buyer appeal. We saw 2021 and 2022 forward-seating boats asking $20,000 or more over comparable coffin-box examples.
So when you compare two Gamefish 27s of the same year, look at the bow before you judge the price.
What we found listed (reviewed June 2026)
We reviewed current Gamefish 27 listings across the major sites by hand. A representative sample:
| Year | Asking | Config | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 (new) | $188,777 | Coffin Box | Vero Beach, FL |
| 2025 | $185,000 | Coffin Box | dealer |
| 2024 | $176,995 | standard | New Orleans, LA |
| 2023 | $159,800 | Forward Seating | St. Petersburg, FL |
| 2022 | $154,995 | standard | dealer |
| 2021 | $149,000 | Forward Seating | Miami, FL |
| 2020 | $125,000 | Forward Seating | dealer |
| 2019 | $115,000 | Coffin Box | Orange Beach, AL |
| 2018 | $98,900 | standard | Sarasota, FL |
| 2015 | $69,995 | standard | Brick, NJ |
The spread is wide, especially in the older years, and it comes down to configuration (coffin box vs forward seating), engine and power package, hours, electronics, and condition. On a used boat, the specific boat matters far more than the model year.
Value by model year
Anchored on the listings above (we found comps in most years). Where a year was thin, the figure is interpolated and marked (est.):
| Model year | Typical asking | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| New 2026 | $180,000 to $190,000 | observed (one loaded forward-seating example at $238,000) |
| 2025 | about $185,000 | observed (limited) |
| 2024 | $160,000 to $177,000 | observed |
| 2023 | $150,000 to $170,000 | observed |
| 2022 | $132,000 to $165,000 | observed |
| 2021 | $125,000 to $149,000 | observed |
| 2020 | $120,000 to $125,000 | observed |
| 2019 | about $115,000 | observed |
| 2018 | $99,000 to $120,000 | observed (wide) |
| 2017 | about $99,000 | observed (limited) |
| 2016 | about $94,000 | observed (limited) |
| 2015 | $70,000 to $85,000 | observed |
| 2014 | $80,000 to $115,000 | observed (wide) |
The takeaway: the Gamefish 27 holds value well for a value-priced brand, helped by strong demand for an affordable, offshore-capable 27. A clean 2019 to 2021 boat is the sweet spot. Most of the early depreciation is behind it, and it is still effectively the current-generation hull.
What it likely sells for
Sea Hunt is a value brand with strong demand, so the Gamefish 27 usually sells roughly 8 to 12 percent under asking, more on listings that have sat or already dropped. So a 2020 asking about $122K likely trades around $108K to $112K, and a 2015 asking about $78K around $70K to $73K. These are estimates, not recorded sales. Actual sold prices aren’t public, and we’ll add verified sold prices as our data grows.
How it holds value
Better than you might expect for a value brand. The Gamefish 27 hits a sweet spot a lot of buyers want: a genuine offshore-capable 27 footer at a price well below the premium names, so used demand stays strong. It won’t hold value quite like a Grady-White, but the lower entry price means less absolute money at risk, and clean examples move quickly.
What owners and reviewers say
Sourced from owner discussion on The Hull Truth and published reviews (BD Outdoors, Boating Mag), weighted by recurring themes, not single voices.
What owners praise (often): outstanding value, widely called one of the best “bang for your buck” boats in the class; a dry, well laid out, roomy deck; serious fishability with multiple livewells (a 40 gallon in the leaning post plus a 30 gallon in the transom) and a huge amount of insulated storage; and efficient cruising, around 2 mpg fully loaded at 30 knots.
Common notes and gripes (some): it is a value hull, so it can pound in a nasty chop (owners say trimming the tabs helps, but it is not a heavy deep-vee offshore boat); and a few quality items get flagged, like stock speakers that arrive dead and plastic trim or grills that fade and crack in the sun. One owner described an occasional harmless “squonk” noise at certain speeds.
Overall sentiment is positive, with eyes open. Buyers love what they get for the money, as long as they go in knowing it is a value boat, not a $300,000 offshore battlewagon.
