Bowrider Boats Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called a Bowrider?

A Bowrider gets its name from its open bow area, which features additional seating in front of the helm. This design allows passengers to “ride” in the bow, making it a popular choice for recreational boating and water sports.

On average, Bowriders typically range between $25,000 and $60,000 for new models. However, high-end or larger models can exceed $100,000, while used Bowriders can be found starting around $10,000 on Boatcrazy.

Most Bowriders have a top speed ranging from 35 to 60 mph, depending on the engine and model. Performance-oriented models can go even faster.

Sea Ray is one of the most recognized and respected names in the Bowrider segment. Known for their quality, comfort, and innovative design, Sea Ray Bowriders are a favorite among boaters. You can find full listings of Sea Ray boats at Boatcrazy.

Bowriders are ideal for families and day cruising thanks to their open seating, easy handling, and multi-use design. They’re great for watersports, entertaining, and relaxing on the water. Their shallow draft also makes them suitable for lakes and coastal areas.

The best time to buy a new Bowrider is typically in the late summer and fall (August through October), when dealers offer end-of-season deals, manufacturer rebates, and inventory clearance discounts.
