The 1997 Aquasport 245 Explorer is a versatile and robust walkaround cuddy cabin fishing boat, designed to meet the needs of recreational anglers on the water. Measuring approximately 24 feet in length, this vessel combines a spacious cockpit with a comfortable cabin, offering a well-balanced blend of performance, durability, and comfort.
The hull of the Aquasport 245 Explorer is constructed from high-quality fiberglass, providing reliable strength and stability even in choppy conditions. Its deep-V design ensures a smooth and efficient ride, while the wide beam offers exceptional stability and ample deck space for fishing. The cockpit is thoughtfully laid out, featuring molded-in rod holders, a livewell, and plenty of storage compartments for tackle and gear. A hard top with rocket launchers and a cockpit cover keeps you high and dry. Anglers will appreciate the easy-to-clean surfaces and the non-skid decking, which enhances safety during wet conditions.
A key highlight of this model is its walkaround design, which allows for easy access to the bow. The raised cabin provides shelter from the elements and includes a compact yet functional interior. Inside the cuddy cabin, you'll find a V-berth that can comfortably accommodate two adults for overnight stays, along with basic amenities such as a portable toilet and storage lockers. Large windows and a hatch offer natural light and ventilation.
At the helm, you will find the ample gauges, anchor windlass controls, and an Icom VHF radio. The boat is powered by a single 2015 Evinrude 2-cycle motor with low hours, delivering ample speed and responsive handling for fishing trips or cruising.
This one comes with a low-mileage 2022 tandem axle load rite trailer.
