A Primer on Bowrider Boats

 

If you’re interested in owning a boat, you may have started checking out various types of boats to see which one will meet your needs. For those who want an affordable boat that can be used in multiple ways, a bowrider boat is a great choice. As your local boat dealer, we’ve assembled some information on bowriders below to help you determine whether a bowrider makes sense for you.

 

Definition

A bowrider is a type of runabout boat that provides extra seating in the bow, just ahead of the helm. You can use this space to seat a large group of friends or family while you’re out on the water so they can relax, chat, and enjoy the sun. 

These crafts are mainly meant for sunny day pleasure cruising with their single decks. The lack of a cabin and roof means you wouldn’t want to take them out in severe weather conditions. They can have either a sterndrive or an outboard engine. Some are more tailored for high speeds, while others are best for calmer, slower cruising.

 

Uses

Bowrider boats are great on calm inland waterways like lakes and rivers. They are too small to be stable on choppier waters, so you shouldn’t take them out in the open ocean. Bowriders are under 35’ in length and their lack of an enclosure and small size doesn’t make them capable of handling harsh weather conditions.

Some bowrider boat models have powerful engines to permit them to reach higher speeds on the water for fast-paced rides that are more thrilling. These faster vessels are perfect for towing watersports users like wakeboarders, waterskiers, and inner-tube users.

 

Bowrider boats can be fun pleasure cruisers for you and your family and friends during an afternoon on the lake. With plenty of seating space both at the bow and at the stern, you can take up to ten passengers on most models. There’s even enough space for sunbathing and swimming or watersports preparation. So, if you want a boat that’s made for summer cruising fun, look no further than a bowrider.
