                                What are runabout boats?

                                Medium-sized, trailerable vessels called runabout boats are commonly utilized for endeavors like day cruising and watersports. Usually averaging at 23 feet, these types of vessels can come as big as 38 feet and as small as 13 feet in length. 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 4,999 runabout boats for sale, including 1,983 new vessels and 3,016 used boats, listed by both individual owners and professional boat dealerships across the country.

                                What are the best runabout boats?

                                Currently, some of the most popular manufacturers of runabout boats include Sea Ray, Chaparral, Cobalt, Bayliner and Yamaha Boats. 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. The top, most popular runabout boats brands on Boat Trader during the previous 30 days were Boston Whaler, Chaparral, Chris-Craft, Cobalt and Sea Ray.

                                How much do runabout boats cost?

                                Runabout boats for sale on Boat Trader are listed within a variety of prices from a reasonable $5,000 on the moderate end all the way up to $599,999 for the most expensive boats. While affordable utility models may have engines with as low as 40 horsepower on them, models with the most power can have motors up to an enormous 1,200 horsepower (although the average engine size is 270HP).

                                Why are runabout boats popular?

                                Runabout boats are popular for their medium-depth draft and average beam, attributes that make these boats an excellent choice for day cruising and watersports. Runabout boats are also popular boats for coastal, inshore and offshore boating.Within our current availability, these runabout boats can hold up to 19 people, but usually averages 12.
