                  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 2,355 brand-new boats and 3,129 used boats are among the 5,484 runabout boats that are now available on Boat Trader, which features listings from both professional boat dealers and private individuals countrywide.

                  What are the best runabout boats?

                  Sea Ray, Chaparral, Cobalt, Bayliner and Yamaha Boats are some of the most widely-known builders of runabout boats at the moment. Runabout boats models are designed with outboard, inboard/outboard, inboard, outboard-4S and other propulsion systems, available in gas, diesel, electric, LPG and other fuel systems. The top two runabout boats brands on Boat Trader over 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 available for a range of prices from a reasonable $5,909 on the most reasonably-priced watercraft all the way up to $677,029 for the bigger-ticket boats. While the most compact and efficient utility models may have engines with as little as 40 horsepower on them, models with more power can have motors up to 1,000 horsepower (although the average motor size is 269HP).

                  Why are runabout boats popular?

                  The medium-depth draft and average beam of runabout boats are well-known features that make these boats perfect for day cruising and watersports. Runabout boats are also popular boats for coastal, inshore and offshore boating.Runabout boats can usually hold an average of 12 people but can carry at most 19. Also, with 5,484 runabout boats presently listed for sale and 749 boats added within the past month, Boat Trader is confident you’ll find the boat you are looking for.
