SEA PRO BOATS WINS BOATING INDUSTRY MAGAZINE 2025 TOP PRODUCTS AWARD

New 225FLX “Ultimate Sandbar Boat” Combines Fishability With Innovative, Family-Friendly Cockpit Layout & Features

May 5, 2025 — Sea Pro Boats of Whitmire, South Carolina today announced it has won a 2025 Top Products Award from the editors of leading marine business journal Boating Industry Magazine.  The publication unveiled its full list of 2025 Award Winners to the global boating business online today, with a feature article planned in an upcoming issue of the popular print magazine.

This award is given out annually, based on evaluations of nominated products by the editors, writers, and marine experts at Boating Industry.   New products are judged based on their innovation, practicality, and impact on the recreational boating market, across a wide range of categories including boats, motors, electronics, accessories, and more.

“On behalf of everybody at Sea Pro, we are honored to receive this recognition from Boating Industry, said Sea Pro President Jimmy Hancock.  “We’ve tapped into something the market really wants — an easy to afford, easy to tow and easy to power boat that keeps the fun going all day long.  Dealers love it, customers love it, and earning this award will provide even more motivation for our company to keep the innovations coming,” added Hancock.

This new 22-foot center console boasts the same performance, efficiency and fish-ready features that have made Sea Pro the choice of serious anglers. 

What makes the 225FLX the “Ultimate Sandbar Boat” is a unique cockpit layout with versatile seating options and amenities that help families enjoy time together on the water.   Sea Pro uses a stylish and comfortable helm leaning post with a back rest that adjusts to face either forwards or backwards, providing a comfortable and ergonomic vantage point for the captain and co-pilot whether driving or sharing quality time with friends and family in the cockpit.

Additionally, the 225FLX features a new, larger console with available full pump-out head and fresh water sink for added family comfort.  This is an industry first for a 22’ center console.  Sea Pro also relocated the traditional stern livewell to accommodate a large, comfortable bench seat that spans the entire width of the transom and features an adjustable backrest that can face in towards the cockpit or backwards towards the water.   Additional port and starboard stern seats can easily convert to face outside of the boat or inward towards the cockpit.  

Another innovation found on the new 225FLX is Sea Pro’s custom swiveling bow table, ideal for lounging on the comfortable bow seating while enjoying drinks and snacks.  This same table can be used as a filler to create a large, comfortable bow seating area and lounging bed for passengers.   What really takes this new model to a new level for sandbar entertaining, however, is a versatile stern area with an additional smaller table that lets you sit and relax at the sandbar. With this innovative design, boaters can literally enjoy food and drinks while dangling their legs in the water or even floating nearby.
