2024 Crownline 245 WA

Finseeker by Crownline 245 WA

1. General Information

The 245 WA, launched for the 2024 model year alongside the 240 DC, brings a walkaround layout to the Finseeker by Crownline range. At 7.16 m long with a 2.59 m beam, it combines 360-degree fishing access with a small cabin, making it a trailerable boat for anglers who want the option of a longer day or an occasional night aboard.

2. Construction and Design

The fibreglass hull uses Crownline's F.A.S.T. Tab vented chine with reversed chines and a delta performance pad on a 20° deadrise, with a 100% composite transom rated up to 350 hp. Side decks and full stainless bow rails let anglers walk right round the boat. The helm sits behind a windshield under a Moonstone fibreglass hard top with rear-facing LED work lights, rod holders and grab rails. Below, bi-fold doors open to a fully lined cabin with more than 1.8 m of headroom.

3. Key Features

Cabin: U-shaped seating with filler cushions that forms a sleeping area, a dining table, sink, microwave, Porta Potti, opening portlight and deck hatch.

Cockpit: Seating for six, with benches that stow away to free up fishing room, and swivel captain and companion bucket seats with flip-up bolsters.

Fishing kit: A rear aerated bait well with clear window, in-floor fish boxes with macerators, dual tackle boxes under the helm seat, built-in rod storage, a raw-water washdown and a windlass with rope and chain.

Electronics: Twin Garmin 9" touchscreens with LakeVü G3 and BlueChart G3 mapping, SideVü, ClearVü and CHIRP sonar, and six Wet Sounds speakers.

Trailer: An aluminium trailer with Dexter torsion axles, brakes and LED lighting is included.

4. Summary

With a 2026 US base price of $154,995 including a Mercury 250 FourStroke XL, the Finseeker 245 WA suits anglers who want walk-round fishability and weather protection, plus a cabin for the family, in a boat that still goes home on its own trailer.
