2006 Rosborough RF-246 Sedan Cruiser

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how much boat they’ve packed into 25 feet. The RF-246 has that clever Rosborough trick: a bright, open cabin with sightlines almost 360 degrees, so you’re never cut off from the water. The dinette and galley are laid out for real weekends aboard, not just day trips, with enough storage that you’re not living out of duffel bags. Her semi-displacement hull likes to run efficiently at modest speeds, sipping fuel instead of gulping it. Wide, secure side decks and high rails make anchoring or handling lines feel confident, even when the breeze pipes up. It’s the kind of boat you can actually use a lot, not just polish.

This RF-246 shines in waters where conditions change fast and you need a capable, economical cruiser that doesn’t mind a chop. The protected cabin and solid Downeast-style hull let you stretch the season on both ends, running comfortably on cool spring mornings or blustery fall afternoons while others are still on the trailer. Shoal-friendly draft and a stable, efficient hull form make it just as happy threading through tight harbors as crossing open stretches. With simple systems, outboard power, and easy-to-fender sides, it’s equally at home slipping into busy marinas, exploring quiet coves, or stalking inshore fishing grounds without burning a pile of fuel.
