Bowrider Boats
Pleasure cruising is one of the main reasons people invest in a boat. The relaxing pastime of cruising around a lake in the sunshine with friends and family is a tempting prospect for many. One of the best recreational boats out there is the bowrider, thanks to their small size, versatility and affordability. Spicer's Boat City serves all of Michigan with our Houghton Lake location, so we’re happy to share some more details about this particular marine craft with you.
Definition
These agile crafts are a type of runabout that has extra seating at the bow to allow for a large group of friends to converse and enjoy the sun in comfort. Bowriders are ideal for leisurely cruises around the lake in good weather. Since they lack a cabin or shelter and they’re fairly small, these boats are not made to handle extreme weather conditions.The engine of a bowrider can be either a sterndrive or an outboard. Some models are geared to hit high speeds while others are made to be slower. No matter which style of boating you choose, you’ll enjoy these crafts!
Uses
The best and most logical use of a bowrider is as a pleasure vessel for fair-weather jaunts around the lake. These boats don’t do very well in choppy water, which makes them ill-suited to the open ocean. However, they do perfectly well on inland waterways that are reasonably calm.Most models are under 35’ long, lacking any form of enclosure or roof to shelter you. Some are powered with high-performance engines that allow them to reach the higher speeds required for towing watersports participants like wakeboarders, water skiers and inner tuber users. This usage may require that you add some ballast to improve wake formation.
As a pleasure craft, bowriders give you plenty of seating, both at the bow and at the stern, to facilitate family gatherings or conversation amongst friends. Some models can accommodate up to ten passengers! You’ll find that there is plenty of space for sunbathing, swimming and preparing for your watersports activities. This boat should be your first choice for summer cruises!
