2026 Cutwater Boats C-248 Coupe

C-248 C
The new C-248 Coupe from Cutwater Boats presents a beautiful, contemporary twist on a classic Downeast design. This versatile outboard-powered cruiser offers an abundance of features designed to make cruising, fishing, and entertaining fun and stress-free. The C-248 C offers a 360-degree view from the helm as well as an innovative aft bulkhead window that opens, allowing the dinette seat to transform into a rear-facing cockpit seat. Onboard the C-248 C you’ll enjoy all the comforts of home with a private stateroom, head, and galley featuring a sink with hot and cold water, stove top, microwave, and refrigerator/freezer.

The forward stateroom features wrap around seating and a high/low table that drops to complete the forward berth for a comfortable night’s sleep. The main salon has a dinette for four that transforms into an additional berth for two. Below the dinette there is a mid-berth perfect for kids or additional storage.

Powered by a Yamaha 250 HP outboard, the C-248 C is fast and efficient. The double-stepped hull increases efficiency and performance, reduces fuel consumption, and contributes to her quick time to plane. The C-248 C hull also incorporates our Laminar Flow Interrupter technology for smooth, positive cornering.

The C-248 C comes comfortably equipped to cruise and play. Standard features include a navigation package starring the 9" Garmin GPS chartplotter with sonar, color Yamaha engine display, VHF radio, Bluetooth-enabled Fusion stereo system, LED lighting, marine head with holding tank, sport racks, built-in rod holders, fish box, integrated transom cooler, concealed ski tow, our built-in trailer lights, foldaway cockpit seating, cockpit bolster cushions, and much more.
