Sea Fox Boats has proven that it's possible to enjoy luxuries normally associated with a larger Sportfish boat while fishing aboard a 32' center console. The 328 Commander stands up to the task well, offering some sexy creature comforts wrapped around a serious offshore fishing platform. One thing most boaters don't expect to enjoy on an open 32-footer is air conditioning but that's exactly what you'll find when you step into the over-sized console on this rig. A 12V powered 3.5kw AC unit can be run in the slip or on the water and for a quick cat nap out of the heat you'll also find a forward berth down below. Cold air is also fed to the helm area via registers on the console face which is a nice touch on hot summer days. A marine head below along with a sink and hand-held shower nozzle under a Corian countertop are standard. For comfort above deck you'll find plenty. A forward seating arrangement that allows several guests to socialize while cruising, still remains open enough to fish around comfortably when it's time to go to work. A roomy sun-lounge seat on the forward console face hides a 52” storage compartment.
The Ultima Hard top doesn't lack a single detail- featuring 3-molded electronics/storage boxes (fore and aft), LED Spreader lights (4) all around, Climate Cool System (w/4 SST misters) and a deluxe JL Audio sound system with 8-speakers.
The 328 Commander is indeed comfortable but make no mistake, this is a fishing boat 100 percent. All of the tools you need to be serious about offshore fishing are included in this layout. For starters, rod holders are everywhere (36 total), four insulated fish boxes with overboard drains are standard, a pressurized 55-gallon and 35-gallon well are located across the transom, two tackle centers and a rigging station and bait tray are located in the helm center, essentially this rig is loaded with work and play features to make anyone happy. In fact, the 328 Commander has one of the most extensive list of STANDARD features you'll find on a boat in this class.
