Top Ten Bowriders You Need To Check Out!

We spend a lot of time reviewing bowriders and discussing the bowrider design (see Bowriders: 10 Key Considerations Before You Buy, and Choosing the Perfect Runabout, to learn more), because as a boater you have choices. Lots of them. Maybe too many.

The editors at boats.com recognized that and asked me to come up with a Top 10 list that might help you focus in on some prime picks. So, what follows is a wild stab at 10 of the best bowriders on the market today. I'm sure someone will point out something I missed, or object to one of my choices, and that’s fine. At least you’ll be thinking and talking about it—and what’s better than talking about boats, right?

First, some insight into the selection process. Top notch doesn't have to mean top dollar. In fact, it shouldn't, which is why I chose some entry-level boats that are genuinely affordable and provide new boaters a way to get into the hobby with the comfort of warranties on the boat and engine. I also chose some top-of-the line stuff, representing the best of the best. As you might expect, I filled in the middle of the market, too. Remember that the pricing varies somewhat depending on where you are and when you buy, prices shown are as of the publication date, and those seen here should be thought of only as guidelines. I also tried to include some nuggets of wisdom and some boats and brands you might not have considered. They are presented in no particular order other than to vary the mix for your reading pleasure. Enjoy.
