Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
EdgeWater 145CC 2012 vs EdgeWater 240IS 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee EdgeWater 145CC 2012 against a modified vee EdgeWater 240IS 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The EdgeWater 240IS 2012 measures 24,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the EdgeWater 145CC 2012 at 14,0 feet (2012). At 1 lbs and 27 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 has a 290-hp advantage over the EdgeWater 145CC 2012's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 carries 77 gallons versus 12 gallons in the EdgeWater 145CC 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The EdgeWater 240IS 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the EdgeWater 145CC 2012 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The EdgeWater 145CC 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
