Just Out! The White Pointer 745 Sports Cruiser

Published

Celebrating 30 years in the boating industry, White Pointer Boats has launched the all-new 745 Sports Cruiser—a remodel of the classic 730 model—designed for superior durability, performance, and versatility. The 745 Sports Cruiser is an exciting addition for boating enthusiasts looking for reliability and adventure on the water.

At 7.45 metres in length, with a 2.45-metre beam, the 745 Sports Cruiser combines robust design with a lightweight towing weight starting at approximately 2500kg, tailored to maximise performance in both calm and rough seas. This model exemplifies White Pointer’s legendary “non-pounding hull,” engineered to tackle demanding waters with ease, while offering a smooth, comfortable ride.

Power and Performance

Under the hood, the 745 Sports Cruiser is equipped with a 2024 Mercury 300HP V8 outboard, ensuring powerful, efficient cruising, and is compatible with engines up to 400HP. Its 400-litre fuel tank extends range, supporting both day and extended trips without compromising performance. Additionally, the integration of the Minn Kota Instinct Quest trolling motor and a 36-volt lithium battery brings precise manoeuvrability to fishing expeditions.

Advanced Technology

This model embraces high-end electronics, featuring the Raymarine Axiom Pro 16s chartplotter and fish finder, delivering top-of-the-line navigation and fishing insights. A GME VHF radio, complemented by a powerful 8-inch STEDI lightbar, offers safety and communication, even in low visibility.

With the MS RA770 Apollo stereo system and premium sound package, onboard entertainment is upgraded, ensuring that relaxation and enjoyment are part of the cruising experience.

Thoughtful Design for Fishing and Leisure

The 745SC was built for versatility—perfectly suited for sports fishing or leisurely days on the water. With a lockable cuddy cabin, enhanced seating, and custom port king/queen seating, comfort meets functionality in every detail.

For fishing enthusiasts, it’s outfitted with Bonze Kraken outrigger bases, 15-foot carbon fibre outriggers, tuna tubes, and a live-bait tank featuring “Fish TV.” A well-thought-out bait station and an under-deck kill tank streamline fishing prep, while a fold-up cockpit seat in front of the bait station provides additional space for relaxed fishing.

White Pointer has prioritised usability in every feature: the boat’s custom drawers, pull-out fridge, single-burner gas cooker, and 70-litre Dometic chilly bin provide a liveaboard setup for those looking to stay out at sea longer. Additionally, concealed buoyancy chambers under the extended boarding platform make it easier to reel in larger catches directly onto the deck.

Premium Trailer and Transport

The custom tandem-axle alloy trailer ensures safe, smooth transportation, with White Pointer’s quick-release boat catch system allowing easy launch and retrieval. It’s fitted with hydraulic override brakes, stainless steel hubs, and upgraded wheels, showcasing the same high-quality craftsmanship as the boat itself.

As a White Pointer owner, you’re not just purchasing a boat; you’re joining a legacy that has thrived for three decades, offering a product designed to stand the test of time. Whether you’re an avid fisherman or a boating enthusiast, the 745 Sports Cruiser promises a reliable and enjoyable experience that’s worth every penny.
