2017 Edgewater 245 CC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 245 CC feels bigger than mid‑20 feet. High freeboard and wide walkaround space give you confidence when the seas get lumpy, and there’s plenty of storage tucked under the forward seating and in the sole for gear, fenders, and safety kit. The helm is thoughtfully laid out, with everything in easy reach and just enough wind protection from the wraparound windshield to make longer runs comfortable. Forward seating converts quickly from a casting deck to a lounging space, so it’s as happy on a family sandbar day as it is on a dawn striper mission. Fit and finish are classic Edgewater—solid hardware, tight hatches, and a feeling of real substance underfoot.

This 245 CC is particularly well-suited to local waters where conditions can swing from flat calm mornings to afternoon chop. The deep, confident hull and substantial bow flare keep spray down when you’re running across open stretches, while the compact length makes it easy to tuck into shallow creeks, mooring fields, and tighter harbor slips. It’s an ideal platform for chasing inshore species along rocky shorelines and rips, yet capable enough for nearshore runs on the right days. Families will appreciate the secure cockpit depth when the breeze comes up, and the enclosed head and forward seating turn a quick harbor tour or beach hop into a genuinely comfortable outing.
