                                      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.
