Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
EdgeWater 205CC 2008 vs EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011: Same Brand, Different Boat
The EdgeWater 205CC 2008 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 200 hp, the EdgeWater 205CC 2008 has a 50-hp advantage over the EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011's 150-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 245 Cc 2011 carries 140 gallons versus 90 gallons in the EdgeWater 205CC 2008. 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 205CC 2008 is rated for 9 passengers, while the EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the EdgeWater 205CC 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the EdgeWater 205CC 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 9 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The EdgeWater 245 Cc 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
