Comprehensive Construction and Design
The Cutwater Boats C-248 C embodies a perfect fusion of modern design and practical features packaged in a classic marine style. This boat leverages a strong construction palate that uses a foam-filled fiberglass stringer grid system, ensuring both durability and stability. The hull design incorporates a double-stepped structure, enhancing the boat’s capability to glide smoothly through the water while being significantly fuel-efficient. Laminar Flow Interrupter technology plays a critical role in achieving stable cornering, providing the user with seamless and effortless maneuverability.
The construction uses a vinylester barrier coat to offer superior protection against elements, ensuring that the cruiser resists wear and tear over time. Stainless steel is a recurring theme in its construction, utilized across cleats, rails, and other hardware to make sure these components are corrosion-resistant and maintain their strength and appearance throughout their lifespan.
Engine Efficiency and Performance
Cutwater Boats C-248 C is powered by a Yamaha F250 outboard engine which is well-known for being robust, dependable, and efficient. Its 250 HP provides the vessel with the necessary power power for a lively performance while remaining efficient in fuel consumption. This setup offers a superb balance between cruising speed and power, making it suitable for various sea conditions including fast sprints across flat waters or more leisurely cruises along the coast.
Electric trim tabs work in conjunction with the hull’s features to deliver superb handling and minimization of resistance, allowing the boat to reach a plane quickly. This is particularly beneficial in trimming the boat when carrying different load distributions or navigating in uneven waters.
Spacious Interior Accommodation
The C-248 C does not compromise on comfort, boasting multiple accommodation options that transform a simple trip across the waters into a luxurious experience. The forward stateroom is complemented by wrap-around seating and a high/low table that conveniently converts into a berth for sleeping. This unapologetically maximizes space while offering relaxation and convenience for overnight trips.
Within the main salon is a dinette that serves dual purposes—acting as a place for social meals or converting into a sleeping area for two. It even contains a midship berth, ideally suited as a cozy nook for children or as storage, which enhances the boat’s versatility for family use. The salon and stateroom are equipped with abundant windows allowing maximum natural lighting and ventilation, further aided by solar reflective hatches to maintain an energy-efficient environment.
Equipments and Features
A selection of features is standard with the C-248 C, designed specifically to cater to various experiences at sea. The navigation package is spearheaded by a Garmin 943xsv GPS chartplotter coupled with sonar capabilities, aiding in precise course plotting and real-time navigation data crucial for longer journeys or exploratory ventures.
In addition to the Garmin setup, the helm is fitted with an engine display, digital fuel flow data, and electronic shift and throttle control through single-lever maneuvering. Two windshield wipers mean the pilot maintains visibility in less-than-ideal weather conditions. The helm area is designed with comfort in mind, matching bolstered seating with ergonomically placed controls. USB ports and drink holders are strategically placed for accessibility and practicality.
Galley and Utility
A well-thought-out galley within the C-248 C ensures that onboard living is user-friendly and thoroughly practical. It includes a sink with hot and cold water (and a pull-out rinse faucet), a two-burner stove top that works on electric/alcohol, and a microwave for preparing meals at sea. Storage solutions are well distributed with drawers and cabinets that allow space for utensils and provisions. A refrigerator/freezer unit is integrated to facilitate food storage over extensive cruises.
Deck and External Features
The deck of the C-248 C is well-outfitted for activities beyond mere cruising. It provides EVA foam traction decking, ensuring sure-footed movement around the boat, a stainless steel bow beaching ladder, and an integrated swim platform with a ladder for swimming or easy boarding.
Stainless steel is once again a material of choice for sport racks and pop-up ski pylons, which offer further options for users, whether opting for fishing or watersports. The comprehensive design ensures that all activities can transition smoothly onboard without hassle. An 11 lb. anchor with chain and line signifies preparedness for situations requiring stable mooring or emergency anchorage.
Cockpit Innovations
The cockpit features offer versatility for all social and leisure activities. There is an inclusion of built-in fish boxes, or coolers, designed to support a day out fishing or simply to store cool beverages. Seating is flexible with cushions and reversible configurations that enhance socializing or act independently as lounging areas. The option of foldaway seating creates space when needed for hosting guests or setting up gear for activities like fishing.
The C-248 C supports open interaction through an opening glass bulkhead, specifically designed with a reversible seat setup. This feature allows the dinette seating to face rearwards into the cockpit, adapting to a wider social arrangement or view during meals or trips.
In-Depth Look at Safety and Electronics
Safety remains a paramount factor. The boat is installed with carbon monoxide detectors, an integrated system of courtesy lights, and VHF radio with DSC capability for constant connectivity and alert management. Navigation lights are standard, adding to the visibility and safety during dusk or night voyages.
The electrical system aboard is robust, backed by both AC and DC panels, galvanic isolators, and a battery charger system. A 30-amp SmartPlug inlet along with a 50-foot power cord provides shore connectivity, significantly extending the reliance and functionality of onboard electronics beyond the confines of the onboard battery.
