2022 Sea-Doo Fish Pro Trophy — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $16,000–$21,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.

Kestrel Take

The most serious fishing PWC — the Fish Pro Trophy adds a big cooler, rod holders, a fish finder, extended range, and even a trolling mode to Sea-Doo's stable hull, turning a ski into a genuine micro-skiff. The naturally aspirated Rotax (no supercharger) keeps maintenance lower. A low-hour, well-flushed Fish Pro with clean compression and working fishing gear is a superb niche machine; verify the electronics and cooler package.
