Guide to Boat Types
Runabouts / Deckboats
When you look at a runabout, the first thought that comes to mind is fun. Big fun. Big fun as in water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, cruising or just sitting around, reading a book and taking in the sun. The runabout is the classic driving-around-shirtless boat, varying in length between 16 and 22 feet and seating up to 8 people. It’s also pretty darn affordable.
Cruisers
Those who like to make a weekend on the water may find a cruiser to their liking. Below-deck cabins provide a spacious place to bed down, and include private heads, hot water, showers and fully equipped galleys. Above-deck it’s even more roomy and versatile and, as the name suggests, it’s the type of boat that truly makes you feel like cruising. Lengths of cruisers vary between 22 to 35 feet, and it’s state law that all cruiser owners must own a skipper hat.
Fishing Boats
We stock as many different fishing boats as there are fish--from your basic aluminum boat to your tricked-out, off-shore, fishing vessel:
Aluminum Boats - Available in sizes from 14 feet to 18 feet, with lots of room for rods, gear, optional electronics and livewells. They’re lightweight, durable and can take just about anything you throw at it. Or drag it across.
Walkaround Boats - A central control center opens up space for fishing anywhere on deck, and a small cabin allows for sleeping when not fishing up above. Lengths range from 18 to 29 feet and are ideally suited for lakes of all sizes and off shore.
Center Console - An open deck fishing boat without a small cabin to get in the way of the fishing, available in lengths between 17 and 25 feet. Whether its for a day of hardcore fishing or just for use as a water taxi, the Center Console offers flexibility for skiing and on the water fun.
Tow Boats
Tournament boat, family runabout, or world class wakeboard boat; our towboats fit the bill. Designed for safety and performance, these boats are a necessity for the hard-core wakeboarder and are an excellent choice for families of watersports enthusiasts. Safe, predictable handling and the award winning wake create the perfect balance for fun on the water.
Yachts
When you step onto a yacht, you immediately understand where the phrase “Good life” was coined. Yachts range from 34 to 58 feet and are designed for both serious cruising on the water and serious entertaining at the dock. Designs vary, but all offer luxurious sleeping quarters, galleys (that’s nautical for kitchen), bathrooms and lots of deck space for friends and families to either catch some sun or envious glances.
Pontoon Boats
Families with younger boaters need a secure place to enjoy the ride or toddle about when at anchor. With its wide decks, "play pen-like" side rails and gates, the pontoon boat is the perfect choice for safe family fun on the water. With anywhere from 18 to 25 feet, pontoons are spacious and, when equipped with larger engines, they can be as quick as runabouts.
Other Boats
