Hurricane Sundeck 195 I/O

Today's deck boats can compete on looks and performance with any other sport boat design. But when it comes to open space, they're in a class of their own.

Loaded with creature comforts and built for speed, deck boats have shed that pontoon / bowrider look of yesteryear and have evolved into a legitimate sport boat design. The class of 2007 tends to fall into two categories: traditional-looking models that rely on proven cockpit layouts and deep-V hulls to generate family fun, or more adventurous models that boast head-turning designs. The good news is that with a broad range of price points and power plants, anyone can own a deck boat that quenches their water gene - whether it's a thirst for speed, a passion for fishing or a need to party. The boats in this roundup can handle all three.
