Cutwater C-248 Coupe

Cruise, Relax, Repeat

The Cutwater C-248 Coupe is a versatile, trailerable cruiser that blends modern performance, practical design, and surprising comfort in a compact footprint. Built for boaters who want one platform that can fish, cruise, and overnight with ease, it delivers efficiency, capability, and thoughtful use of space throughout.

Powered by a Yamaha F250 outboard and built on a double-stepped hull, the C-248 offers smooth handling, excellent fuel economy, and confident performance across a wide range of conditions. Its trailerable design expands cruising range far beyond the local marina, making it ideal for exploring new waters.

Performance & Engineering

The C-248 Coupe is built on a double-stepped deep-V hull designed to improve lift, reduce drag, and increase fuel efficiency while maintaining stability and control. Laminar Flow Interrupters further refine water flow for smoother performance and improved handling.

A bow thruster provides precise low-speed maneuvering, while electric trim tabs allow for easy adjustment in changing sea conditions. The 8'6" beam keeps the vessel trailerable without compromising interior comfort.
