Finding Your Perfect Bowrider Boat

Bowrider boats are designed with a less traditional layout. Seating is positioned in the bow, giving passengers a unique experience sitting in the front of the boat. You may know you want this type of seating layout, but don't know exactly which bowrider model to pick.

Here at Thayer's Marine, we want to make shopping for a boat as easy as possible. Consider the following aspects of a bowrider boat, then visit our dealership to check out our inventory of current models. We are based in Norwich, Connecticut, and we also serve those in Springfield, Massachusetts.

1. Consider the Size

Bowriders are usually between 17 and 35 feet long. The right size for your needs will depend on various factors.

For example, how many people will be joining you on the voyage? Bowriders usually can accommodate between 6 and 10 people.

2. Consider the Cockpit

In a bowrider cockpit, it's common for there to be different features to make the boating experience even better.

A popular perk, for example, is a tinted screen and matted dash that will be easier to look at on sunny days.

3. Consider the Features

Some models are more basic while others can be packed full of features. It helps to spend time researching the available features, then making your "must-have" and "nice-to-have" list of features.

Some popular features include grab handles for passengers to grip, speakers for playing your favorite music, and cup holders for convenient storage of drinks.
