An Overview

A bowrider is a type of runabout that provides extra seating in front of the helm. This additional area can be used to seat a large group of friends or family while you’re out on the water. Bowrider boats are mostly 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. When it comes to their engines, they can have either a sterndrive or an outboard engine. Some are built for high speeds, while others are best for calmer, slower cruising.

Uses of Bowriders

Bowriders work best on calm inland waterways like lakes and rivers. Usually, they are too compact to be stable on choppier waters, so you shouldn’t take them out on 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 boats 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.
