Owner Experience Review
Owners use the C-248 COUPEbyCUTWATERas a comfortable short-term cruiser and a capable fishing platform. Its trailerable 8'6" beam lets couples and families tow to new waters for weekend trips, with frequent mentions of Pacific Northwest and ICW-style cruising, short coastal hops, and mixed cruising/fishing plans.
On the water, feedback is consistent about conditions and noise. One owner notes the boat can be noisy at anchor from water slapping the bottom—his spouse sleeps fine, but it wakes him. Many owners avoid heading out when the forecast exceeds about a foot and a half. Balancing that, an independent trial recorded 25 mph at 4,400 rpm and 40 mph at 5,600 rpm, with the surveyor stating the hull “performed well in all respects.”
Cabin arrangements earn praise for the size: a private forward stateroom, a midship berth, a dinette that converts to a berth, plus a compact galley and enclosed head; a surveyor found the interior fit/finish in above-average condition on the inspected boat. A recurring practical note is the Kenyon alcohol/electric stove, which owners find weak on alcohol; several recommend supplementing with a portable butane camp stove. Maintenance items to watch include sliding window/track adhesive failures (owners have re-bedded with 3M 5200, JB Weld epoxy, or 3M 4200) and, in one pre-purchase survey, an inoperative windlass, a refrigerator that did not cool, toilet leakage, and potential water exposure to DC gear in lockers. This summary reflects owner forum posts and a single survey; individual boats will vary.
