Bowriders and runabouts are your quintessential fun-in-the-sun boats, but they should also be versatile performers. Many are used as ski boats, so they should have adequate towing power. They should also be fun while you're at rest, with plenty of sunning space, a great stereo, and amenities like a cockpit table, wet bar, lots of cup holders, and comfortable seating. So unless you have specific needs, look for boats that can handle a wide variety of chores in style.
