​About Deck Boats

Designed to hold more people than other boat configurations, deck boats have long been a popular choice among boaters looking to host family get-togethers or small parties on the water. Smaller than a pontoon but larger than a bowrider, a deck boat is the perfect combination of agility and crowd-friendliness.

Advantages of Deck Boats

As mentioned above, deck boats fall somewhere in-between bowriders and pontoons. As such, some advantages include:

• Larger seating capacity as well as a more stable platform than bowriders

• Sportier and more-stylish configurations than pontoons (from sunpad-topped sterndrive power to outboard engines directed by single-side console to jet propulsion)

• The perfect setup for freshwater fishing, watersports and day-cruising

• Generally able to seat up to 14 people

• Main disadvantage: since it has a flatter hull (compared to a bowliner, which has a sharper "V" hull), a deck boat will not be as effective at slicing through water as a bowliner. If you tend to stay in calmer waters, this may not even be an issue.
