They are designed and manufactured by a wide variety of boat manufacturers with hull types including modified vee, deep vee, pontoon, sea-V2(TM) and other designs. Boat Trader currently has 4,964 runabout boats for sale, including 1,937 new vessels and 3,027 used boats, listed by both individual owners and professional boat dealerships across the country.

                    What are the best runabout boats?
