Sea Pro 245 FLX Center Console — A 24-Foot Sandbar Boat Built for Family Fun and Offshore Adventure

Sea Pro Boats has introduced the new 245 FLX Center Console, a purpose-built 24-foot “sandbar boat” intended to blend family-friendly entertainment features with offshore-capable construction. Built on a 24-foot deep-V hull, the 245 FLX is designed to deliver a stable, comfortable ride across a variety of sea conditions while offering flexible seating and storage that support everything from relaxed cruising and sandbar days to serious fishing and offshore runs.

“For some time, our dealers and customers have been asking us for a new model that combines the quality construction and offshore capable ride of our popular fishing center console with a new family and entertainment focused cockpit design,” said Sea Pro President Jimmy Hancock. “The new 245FLX delivers on all fronts, and we know it’s going to be a big hit with our dealers and boaters alike.”

Design and Layout

The 245 FLX measures 23 feet, 9 inches overall with a beam of 8 feet, 10 inches, dimensions that aim to balance trailerability and comfortable on-deck space. The center-console layout centers the helm for clear sightlines and accessible walkways, while the cockpit has been optimized for both socializing and practical use. At the stern, a large bench spans the transom, and the design includes starboard and port stern seats that can be configured to face inward toward the cockpit or outward toward the water — a versatile arrangement for fishing, entertaining, or simply sunbathing at the sandbar.

Forward, the bow features a comfortable lounger and an extra seat ahead of the console, creating a dedicated space for passengers to relax. A custom swivel table at the bow adds to the versatility; it can be positioned forward for social meals or mounted at the stern to serve as a cockpit table when anchored or at a sandbar.

Helm, Comfort and Systems

The helm area includes twin captain’s chairs to accommodate two operators or a captain and guest, and the helm station has been arranged for practical operation and clear sightlines. The 245 FLX includes a fiberglass hard top with an integrated windshield to provide protection from sun and spray while maintaining visibility. Standard features emphasize ease of use and convenience, with power steering linked to a tilt helm, a smart battery management system to keep electronics and starting power in check, and a console dry box that includes USB charging outlets for phones and devices.

Options and Customization

Sea Pro offers a range of options so buyers can tailor the 245 FLX for their intended use. Available upgrades include a full pumpout head for extended trips or overnighting, dedicated fish boxes for anglers, and gunnel-mounted rod holders. Buyers can choose a base power package that includes a single Suzuki 300 APX outboard — the listed base price with that engine is $105,503. For a modest additional fee, owners can also personalize hull and upholstery colors to suit their style.

Who the 245 FLX Is For

The 245 FLX targets boaters who want a single platform that performs well offshore and provides comfortable, entertaining spaces for family outings and sandbar gatherings. Its deep-V hull offers a smoother ride in chop, while the flexible seating arrangements, table options, and available amenities support extended days on the water, social cruises, and active fishing. Whether used for weekend trips with family or as a capable center console at the dock, the 245 FLX aims to combine Sea Pro’s proven construction with features that prioritize comfort and versatility.
