Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
EdgeWater 145CC 2012 vs EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The EdgeWater 145CC 2012 vs EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011 has a 90-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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 12 gal and 14 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011 is rated for 7 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 245 Cc 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 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.
