If you’re a first-time boat buyer, we encourage you to check out our article below. Bowriders are some of the most versatile and user-friendly ships on the market and come with a ton of cool benefits! Don't believe us? Check out our article below or come see our bowriders in person at either of our locations in Sanger and New Braunfels, Texas.

Affordable

These boats come in a range of prices but are generally considered very affordable. There’s also quite a lot of variation between models. Some can span up to 35 feet long, others can reach impressively high speeds. However, no matter what features you’d like your bowrider to have it’s easy to find one in your price range. Even better, most of these ships are made to last, with service life averaging out at about 25 years. This gives them a great resale value and a better bang for your buck. 

Maintenance

Bowriders are meant to be a jack of all trades when it comes to boating. Whether you want to fish, lounge, or even water-ski, your bowrider can do it all! In order to provide this level of versatility, these ships have a relatively simple style. This makes maintenance and upkeep unexpectedly easy, especially when compared to other boats on the market. If you're unfamiliar with boat repairs, or just don’t want to put a ton of time and effort into upkeep, this boat is the one for you. 

Handling

These boats are generally smaller and include a V-shaped hull and pointed bow. All of these features come together to make these ships incredibly easy to handle. They’re great for reaching high speeds and making quick turns, and are very easy to operate!  Even better, because of their smaller size, they’re much easier to haul when out of the water. 

Seating

Don’t let their small size fool you, a bowrider is equipped to seat up to 6 to 10 people at a time! If you’re looking for a fun-filled day with friends and family out in clear waters a bowrider is your best bet. However, sometimes you want to unwind and relax in a moment of solitude out on the lake. No worries. This boat’s simple controls and smaller size make it easy to drive, even when you’ve only got one set of hands on deck. 

As you can see, these ships are a great option whether you’re new to boating or a seasoned veteran. If you’re located nearby in the cities of Dallas, and San Antonio, Texas we hope you’ll visit Fish and Ski Marine for all your boating needs! We have a huge selection of inventory and great financing rates, and even offer onsite boat repairs at both of our locations.
