Boat Selection Guide – 4

Bowriders

These are the most in-demand motorboats in the sportboat / runabout category, thanks to the ample seating inside their open bow (front) area. Swimming platforms along at the stern (back) are practical for swimming, donning ski board or merely dangling toes in the water when at anchor. Sterndrive power is the standard, but outboard engines turned out to be popular for power. Bowriders are real boating pleasure.

Minimum Length: 16 feet, Maximum Length: 28 feet, Maximum Capacity: 9 people, Trailerable: Yes, Propulsion Type:  Outboard Engine, Sterndrive Engine, Jet Engine

Inflatable Boats

Two classes of inflatable boats, rigid-hull or roll-up inflatables boats (RIBs), have essential features that separate them from other kinds of boats. These boats are compatible with saltwater and freshwater fishing, watersports and more.

Minimum Length: 8 feet, Maximum Length: 30 feet, Maximum Capacity: 6 people, Trailerable: Yes, Propulsion Type:  Outboard Engine, Sterndrive Engine, Jet Engine, Man Power

Flat Boats

Flats fishing boats are focused and most favorite in coastal places where redfish, snook, tarpon, permit, sea trout,  and bonefish live. They are able to float and operate in water less than 2 feet deep and generally are suitable for fishing with 2 to 3 people onboard. Flats boat supplies small room for little luxuries, providing huge casting decks on stern and bow, as well as rod holders, tackle storage, and livewells rather than upholstered seats and carpet.

Minimum Length: 17 feet, Maximum Length: 25 feet, Maximum Capacity: 3 people, Trailerable: Yes, Propulsion Type:  Outboard Engine

Deck Boats

These boats provide a large seating area and can usually hold as many people on board as pontoon boats. Yet, they have a speedy, maneuverable V-bottom hull which skims over the water just like a bowrider. They’re robust, too, which make them perfect boats for skiing, waterboarding, and tubing or simply well suited for stirring a breeze in an extended cruise.

Minimum Length: 18 feet, Maximum Length: 28 feet, Maximum Capacity: 14 people, Trailerable: Yes, Propulsion Type:  Outboard Engine, Sterndrive Engine, Jet Engine
