                          Bay boats

                          Bay boats come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 18 to 24 feet, with fore and aft casting decks. Intended for fishing along the coast in Gulf fisheries, these boats tend to have a semi-V hull, at least two livewells, plenty of rod holders, Power Pole anchoring systems, electric trolling motors, and low gunwales.

                            |

                            What are bay boats?

                            Medium-sized, trailerable vessels called bay boats are frequently utilized for boating pursuits like freshwater and saltwater fishing. This type of vessel can range in size, with the smallest current boat listed at 16 feet in length, to the longest vessel measuring 30 feet, and an average length of 23 feet. Several boat manufacturers produce these vessels, using hull types such as modified vee, deep vee, flat, pontoon and other. Boat Trader currently has 6,076 bay boats for sale, including 4,056 new vessels and 2,020 used boats, listed by private sellers and professional boat and yacht dealers nationwide.

                            What are the best bay boats?

                            Xpress, Tidewater, Excel, Robalo and Pathfinder are some of the most well-known builders of bay boats at the moment. Bay boats models are designed with outboard, outboard-4S, inboard/outboard, inboard and outboard-2S propulsion systems, available in gas, diesel, electric and other fuel systems. The top, most popular bay boats brands on Boat Trader during the previous 30 days were Pathfinder, Robalo, Sportsman, Tidewater and Xpress.

                            How much do bay boats cost?

                            Prices for bay boats on Boat Trader range from a reasonable $9,995 at the most reasonably-priced watercraft to $339,937 for the more sophisticated variety. While the most compact and efficient utility models may have engines with as low as 50 horsepower on them, models with more power can have motors up to 700 horsepower (although the average power size is 250HP).

                            Why are bay boats popular?

                            The shallow draft and average beam of bay boats are well-known features that make these boats perfect for freshwater and saltwater fishing. Bay boats are also popular boats for rivers and lakes and other shallow fresh bodies of water. From our current listings, the average number of passengers that bay boats can take is 8 people with a maximum of 14. Boat Trader is positive you'll find the boat you're searching for with 6,076 bay boats now posted for sale and 1,055 boats uploaded in the last month.
