                          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.

                            What are runabout boats?

                            Medium-sized, trailerable vessels called runabout boats are frequently utilized for activities like day cruising and watersports. Vessels of this kind can span in size, with the smallest current boat listed at 13 feet in length, to the longest vessel measuring 38 feet, and an average length of 23 feet. They are built by a wide variety of boat makers with hull types including modified vee, deep vee, pontoon, monohull and other designs. A total of 2,054 brand-new boats and 3,018 used boats are among the 5,072 runabout boats that are now available on Boat Trader, which features listings from both professional boat dealers and private individuals countrywide.
