2023 2023 Cutwater 248

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much Cutwater has packed into 24 feet without it ever feeling cramped. The 248’s smart cabin layout gives you a true weekender vibe, with a proper berth, enclosed head, and plenty of light from large windows and overhead hatches. The galley is set up so you can actually cook, not just reheat snacks, and there’s thoughtful storage for gear, tackle, and provisions tucked everywhere. Outside, wide side decks and sturdy rails make moving forward feel secure, even in a chop. The convertible cockpit seating shifts easily from cruising to fishing mode, and the swim platform is perfect for dropping crab pots or slipping in for a swim between runs.

This 248 shines in waters where conditions can change quickly and you need a boat that’s as comfortable as it is capable. Its semi-planning hull and pronounced bow flare handle afternoon chop with confidence, while the outboard power keeps draft modest for exploring coves, beaches, and island anchorages. The enclosed helm and cabin shelter you from cool, damp days, yet sliding windows and a cockpit open to the breeze keep summer cruising pleasant. With efficient fuel burn and trailerable size, it’s easy to run to distant fishing grounds one weekend and tow to a different launch ramp the next, expanding your cruising range without needing a larger slip.
