Tips For Buying A Bowrider Boat
If you’re after an excellent first boat, a bowrider from Monterey is a perfect choice. From cruising in style, to fishing and to waterskiing, these bowriders are as versatile as they come.
ELEGANCE AND SPORTSMANSHIP
The term “bowrider” refers to the general styling of the boat, which is usually accented by a deep V-shaped hull. These boats are characterized by open front seating as opposed to a cabin and a more open layout. Whether you’re getting together for a sunset cruise or taking the whole family out for a day of watersports, a bowrider’s sporty appearance, plush seating, and quick handling make them an excellent choice for families and groups of friends.
Before you start browsing for your dream boat, we’ve put together a list of tips for buying a bowrider boat to help you navigate the buying process.
EDUCATE YOURSELF
The first step in the boat-buying process is also the most important— not all bowrider boats are created equal. One of the most important tips for buying a bowrider boat is to educate yourself on horsepower and construction details. A quick research about bowriders manufacturers, models, styles and features will save you surprises along the way.

DETERMINE THE RIGHT SIZE
What are you looking to do out on the water? How many people are you planning to bring along typically? These questions will help you to determine what length of boat is right for you. A typical bowrider has a V-shaped seating section in the bow and they normally vary in length from 17 to 35 feet, accommodating between 6 to 15 people. Extra seats are available in the open bow area in front of the helm.
Whether you need enough room to store life jackets for the whole family or space for food, drinks and watersports accessories, make sure you give that some thought and consider it when you’re looking into different models and features.
INTERIORS AND DESIGN
This is the fun part. Monterey bowriders are available in numerous designs and configurations, with endless customization options. Upholstery and deck coverings provide stylish accents. Snap-in carpets provide a nice compromise between easy to clean and easy on the feet.
Decide what kinds of materials are going to work best for you and look for features that include plenty of storage.
