The Sea Pro 242 Center Console is a versatile offshore fishing boat designed to combine serious fishability with the comfort and amenities needed for cruising and family days on the water. Its deep-V hull provides a smooth, confident ride in changing conditions, while the spacious center-console layout offers excellent walk-around access and plenty of room for anglers and guests.

Built with offshore fishing in mind, the 242 offers generous rod storage, livewell capacity, insulated fish boxes, tackle storage, and an open cockpit that provides plenty of working space. The center console and hardtop provide protection from the elements while maintaining excellent visibility and easy access around the boat.

The bow provides comfortable seating and storage, making the 242 equally suited for relaxing at the sandbar, entertaining friends, or taking the family for a day on the water. With strong outboard power, responsive handling, and Sea Pro's rugged construction, the 242 Center Console is an excellent all-around boat for offshore fishing, coastal cruising, and recreational boating.

About Sea Pro Boats

Sea Pro Boats is an American boat manufacturer specializing in center-console fishing and recreational boats designed for both inshore and offshore use. The company was originally founded in 1987 by the Hancock family and developed a strong reputation for producing practical, durable fishing boats with layouts that appealed to serious anglers as well as recreational boaters.

After the original Sea Pro brand ceased production following changes in ownership during the marine industry's downturn, the company was relaunched in 2015 by Jimmy Hancock, a member of Sea Pro's founding family, along with longtime marine-industry veteran Preston Wrenn. The revived company returned to its roots as an independently operated American boat builder with a new generation of Sea Pro center consoles.

Sea Pro boats are manufactured in South Carolina, continuing the brand's American boat-building heritage. Today's lineup emphasizes modern hull designs, composite construction, offshore capability, fishing-focused features, and comfortable seating and amenities for family boating.

The company's philosophy is reflected in its well-known “The Next Wave” branding—combining Sea Pro's established history with modern construction techniques, technology, and design. Models such as the Sea Pro 242 Center Console are designed to provide a balance of offshore fishing capability, performance, durability, and everyday recreational comfort.

For someone considering a Sea Pro, the brand's appeal is its combination of American manufacturing, fishing heritage, practical center-console layouts, and boats capable of serving double duty as serious fishing platforms and comfortable family boats.
