Full Desctiption
Overview
The 2026 Sea Pro 245 FLX stands as a true expression of balance—blending luxury appointments, coastal versatility, and family-friendly design in one finely tuned platform. Measuring 24 feet in length with an 8.8-foot beam and a draft of only 1.3 feet, this Sea Pro is sized perfectly for both inland lakes and nearshore coastal runs. Sealine quality meets practical utility here, delivering the kind of on-water experience that easily transitions from morning fishing to afternoon surfing sessions.
Performance and Power
At the heart of the 245 FLX is the Suzuki DF300APXW outboard engine, a 300-horsepower four-stroke built for quiet, efficient thrust and long-term reliability. Suzuki’s precision control system provides smooth shifting and effortless throttle modulation, whether you’re pulling a wakeboarder or easing into the marina. The deep-vee hull design translates that power into a smooth, predictable ride, even in choppier water. Paired with the Sea Pro hull’s advanced lifting strakes and chines, the 245 FLX jumps onto plane quickly and tracks with confidence. Boaters who love wakesurfing and wakeboarding will appreciate the steady torque and consistent push this setup delivers, while anglers and cruisers will enjoy how comfortable and fuel-efficient it remains over long runs.
Design and Layout
From bow to stern, the Sea Pro 245 FLX feels modern and functional. The self-bailing cockpit, abundant storage, and wide walkways make it easy for everyone onboard to move comfortably. Each seat has been designed with ergonomic attention, providing deep bolsters and high-quality marine upholstery built for both support and style. The bow lounge transitions from sun pad to social seating with removable cushions, while the aft deck features foldaway seating that opens fully for fishing or water sports prep. The integrated swim platform and ladder offer easy re-entry, and the transom design provides safe proximity to the prop for those jumping in and out on active days.
Helm and Technology
The helm station of the 245 FLX is designed around visibility and intuitive use. The adjustable captain’s chair features flip-up bolsters, and the dash can accommodate dual touchscreen displays, giving you instant access to charting, engine diagnostics, and audio. Sea Pro’s technology integration provides optional smart gauges and customizable systems, ensuring the driver stays in full command with minimal distraction. Tilt steering, power-assist options, and a well-positioned throttle ensure that control feels natural, whether steering through tight marinas or cruising along open stretches of water.
Comfort and Amenities
The Sea Pro 245 FLX isn’t just about performance—it’s about enjoyment. The seating arrangement supports up to eleven people, making it ideal for family days on the lake or group trips to the sandbar. Cup holders, dedicated cooler storage, and multiple USB charging ports offer convenience, while premium LED lighting enhances the atmosphere for evening cruises. Hidden throughout are details that make life easier: non-skid flooring, stainless hardware, durable powder-coated rails, and weather-resistant switches that stand up to the elements.
Construction and Quality
Every Sea Pro model is built using state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing processes designed for durability and long-term value. The 245 FLX features composite construction with full-fiberglass stringers, ensuring rigidity and noise reduction. Foam flotation adds stability and safety, while the gelcoat finish maintains that showroom gloss even after seasons of sun and salt. Hardware throughout the boat is marine-grade stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. Sea Pro’s build philosophy focuses on toughness and user-friendly maintenance, with easily accessible systems and labeled wiring for straightforward upkeep.
On-Water Experience
Behind the wheel, the 245 FLX rewards you with poise and predictability. The hull tracks cleanly and bites hard into turns without losing comfort. The 300-horsepower Suzuki provides plenty of power to pull riders or to run efficiently at cruise speeds. The quietness of the four-stroke design means conversations carry easily, even underway. When trimmed properly, the hull rides high, skimming over chop with minimal spray. Boaters familiar with lakes around Charlotte—like Norman, Wylie, or Mountain Island—will find the 245 FLX perfectly suited for their waters, thanks to its balance of shallow draft and offshore-grade composure.
Everyday Versatility
Beyond performance, the Sea Pro 245 FLX is designed for adaptability. It’s equally suited for family leisure, offshore excursions, and watersports. The seating arrangement allows for quick configuration changes—convert the bow lounge into a dining area or clear the aft deck for wakeboard prep. The helm’s integrated storage compartments keep gear organized, and wide gunnels provide stability when moving around onboard. Whether it’s a sunrise ride chasing glassy water or a relaxed afternoon anchored with friends, the 245 FLX adjusts seamlessly to the day’s rhythm.

Comparison
Sea Pro 245 FLX vs Key West 239 FS, Sportsman Open 232, and Robalo R242 — Charlotte Buyers’ Comparison
The 2026 Sea Pro 245 FLX, available at SouthTown Watersports in Charlotte, North Carolina, brings a strong showing in the 24-foot center console and family fishing segment. Competing directly with established models such as the Key West 239 FS, Sportsman Open 232, and Robalo R242, the 245 FLX offers a sophisticated blend of performance, design, and onboard comfort aimed at families and serious fishermen alike.
Performance and Handling
Powered by a single 300-horsepower engine, the Sea Pro 245 FLX delivers versatile performance for both offshore runs and inshore cruising. Compared to the Key West 239 FS, which typically maxes out at 300 HP but rides on a slightly narrower beam, the 245 FLX’s hull is engineered for enhanced stability and a drier ride in variable sea conditions. The Sportsman Open 232, while efficient, uses a smaller fuel capacity that limits range on extended trips, whereas the Sea Pro’s larger tank gives more time on the water without fuel concerns. The Robalo R242 offers comparable power but weighs more, slightly affecting acceleration and top speed performance.
Construction and Materials
Sea Pro’s build quality is a standout factor. The 245 FLX utilizes an advanced composite construction process, minimizing wood components and emphasizing fiberglass stringers for long-term durability. In comparison, the Key West 239 FS also uses composite materials but does not offer the same degree of structural reinforcement and sound insulation found in the 245 FLX. Sportsman builds its Open 232 with attention to detail and gelcoat finish, yet customers often find the Sea Pro’s fit and finish to feel more premium in tactile feedback and hardware selection. Robalo’s R242 remains a benchmark for heavy-duty construction, but its increased weight results in slightly higher fuel consumption compared with the Sea Pro’s efficient hull design.
Standard Equipment and Features
The 2026 Sea Pro 245 FLX arrives impressively outfitted at its base configuration. Highlights include a digital command center, integrated Simrad multi-function display, premium sound system, and deep, cushioned seating throughout. Compared to the Key West 239 FS, many of these electronics and convenience options come standard rather than optional. The Sportsman Open 232 offers a competitive electronics package, though its seating flexibility and family comfort features are less extensive. Meanwhile, Robalo’s R242 provides abundant storage but typically carries a higher entry price with fewer standard electronics included.
Innovation and Technology
Sea Pro integrates modern digital switching and smart helm connectivity in the 245 FLX, allowing easy control of onboard systems directly through an intuitive interface. This technology, paired with precision throttling and hydraulic steering, results in a driving experience that feels confident and refined. Competitors like the Key West and Sportsman models incorporate similar features but often as part of upgrade packages. The Robalo R242’s tech setup is robust but can add significantly to overall cost once electronics and helm upgrades are included.
Warranty and Ownership Support
Sea Pro backs the 245 FLX with an industry-leading limited lifetime hull warranty and comprehensive parts coverage. That compares favorably with Key West’s and Sportsman’s warranties, which are also strong but typically offer shorter transfer periods for second owners. For buyers in North Carolina, SouthTown Watersports provides localized service expertise, an advantage for long-term maintenance and warranty support compared to purchasing through larger chain dealers.
Overall Value and Buyer Takeaway
When assessing total package value, the Sea Pro 245 FLX aligns strong performance, innovative helm systems, high-end materials, and robust warranty coverage into a price point that competes directly with the Key West 239 FS and often beats the Robalo R242 on cost for similar equipment levels. For boat buyers in Charlotte seeking a 24-foot center console that handles both family recreation and fishing versatility, the 2026 Sea Pro 245 FLX stands as a balanced choice combining durability, comfort, and modern technology in a fresh, premium design.
