Owner Experience Review
Owners run the 50 Generation II SportfisherfromMIKELSONfor long-range offshore fishing and bluewater runs, with cited range over 900 nautical miles on about 1,000 gallons of fuel. The full-beam cockpit, rocket launcher/outriggers, and an optional tower support tournament-style fishing, yet the near-17-foot beam makes the salon and accommodations workable for family cruising and live-aboard weekends, including expedition-style passages like extended West Coast legs.
On the water, it shows confident seakeeping in head seas; test captains have noted it can hold speed where larger, harder-chined boats cannot. It planes around 2,100 rpm and finds a comfortable groove near 2,600 rpm at roughly 22 knots, while remaining nimble in tight quarters—backing down quickly and spinning in just over a boat length. The high freeboard and cockpit carried full-beam add security, though the elevated sole sits higher above the waterline and takes a little acclimation.
Day to day, owners highlight practical livability: a large salon with 360° windows and 6'6" headroom, an aft galley to port with ample stowage, and configurable accommodations including a forward master with a centerline queen and a Pullman-style guest berth; the semi-custom approach of MIKELSONsupports owner layout requests. Flybridge ergonomics provide room for big displays and forward/aft helm stations. Service access is strong too, with a centerline day-hatch and two 12V-activated hatches opening the diamond-plated engine room; in the used market, surveys more often call for routine systems work and upgrades than a single design flaw, though some owners have reported occasional commissioning and warranty friction with the factory, and repower/refit activity is not uncommon on older boats.
Pros and Cons
- 900+ nm range on roughly 1,000 gallons supports bluewater runs and expedition-style passages.
- Near-17-foot beam yields a roomy salon with 360° windows and 6'6" headroom for comfortable family cruising.
- Confident seakeeping and nimble handling, with planing around 2,100 rpm and about 22 knots at 2,600 rpm.
- The high freeboard and full-beam cockpit raise the sole and take some getting used to relative to the waterline.
- Owners have occasionally reported commissioning and warranty friction with the factory.
- Older hulls commonly see routine systems work or refits/repowers noted in surveys and listings.
