                            Runabout boats

                            Runabouts are powerboats that can measure anywhere from 16 to 33 feet, commonly seen with pickle-fork bows with open seating. Typical layouts also include a walk-through windshield and bimini tops. These boats are ideal for day cruising and watersports.

They are designed and manufactured by a wide variety of boat manufacturers with hull types including modified vee, deep vee, pontoon, monohull and other designs. Boat Trader currently has 4,940 runabout boats for sale, including 1,942 new vessels and 2,998 used boats, listed by both individual owners and professional boat dealerships across the country.

                              Currently, some of the most popular manufacturers of runabout boats include Sea Ray, Chaparral, Cobalt, Bayliner and Tahoe. Runabout boats models are produced with outboard, inboard/outboard, inboard, outboard-4S and other propulsion systems, available in gas, diesel, electric and other fuel systems.
