                        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 5,034 runabout boats for sale, including 2,008 new vessels and 3,026 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 inboard/outboard, 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.
