Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
EdgeWater 240IS 2012 vs EdgeWater 245CC 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee EdgeWater 240IS 2012 against a deep vee EdgeWater 245CC 2010 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — EdgeWater 240IS 2012 at 24,0 ft versus EdgeWater 245CC 2010 at 25,0 ft. At 27 lbs and 34 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 350 hp for the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 and 350 hp for the EdgeWater 245CC 2010. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 carries 77 gallons versus 15 gallons in the EdgeWater 245CC 2010. 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 245CC 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the EdgeWater 245CC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the EdgeWater 245CC 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The EdgeWater 240IS 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
