![]() ![]() ![]() Other highlights of the 187 models include wrap-around seating in both the bow and stern, a chaise lounge with stowage compartment behind the passenger’s console, and a bow swim platform with a telescopic ladder that makes getting on and off the boat a piece of cake when you beach it. Added bonus: it also means you get a big fold-out sunpad across the transom, sitting atop the engine box. And while modern outboard deck boats have plenty of great advantages to rave about, the 187 IO has something that none of them can match: A full-beam swim platform with no big powerplant invading its space. While some deckboat builders have shifted to outboard-powered lineups, Hurricane keeps your outdrive options open by offering both the 187 IO and the 187 OB (outboard version). You’ll also notice that the option carrying an “IO” demarcation means it’s available with a stern-drive. Hurricane is known for building deck boats, and with one glance at the 187 you’ll realize that years of experience have been poured into this model’s design. 2021 Hurricane Sundeck 187Ībove: 2021 Hurricane Sundeck 187 IO deck boat. ![]() Visit Crownline Boats for more information.

In the bow cockpit each side is designed to serve as a full-length chaise lounge with headrests and fold-down arm rests, and the transom seats have flip-back backrests that can face forward, face aft, or convert into a huge tanning pad. But beyond that, merely sitting in the seats is a luxury experience. It has goodies like a drawer refrigerator, a freshwater shower, snap-in woven cockpit mats, an enclosed head compartment with sink and vanity, and an aluminum hard top with a pull-out SureShade canvass extension. Beyond sheer size the E 305 X sets itself apart from the crowded field of deck boats with a level of luxury that’s off the charts. It also comes with big-ticket perks like joystick steering, an anchor windlass, and a Wet Sounds stereo system with 10 speakers. This is a monster of a deck boat, with an LOA stretching the tape to 30’1”, a beam of 9’2”, and the ability to carry up to 700 horsepower on the transom. At the diametric opposite end of the deck boat spectrum from the M15 sits the big and bodacious Crownline E 305 XS. 2021 Crownline E 305 XSĪbove: 2021 Crownline E 305 XS Bowrider Deck Boat.

If you don’t need a large boat and you don’t want to break the bank, you’ll have a tough time finding a competitor that can match up with the M15. It also has a swim platform that’s larger than expected on a boat of this size, with a swing-down telescopic boarding ladder and curves molded into the back of the transom for comfort while sitting down and facing aft. Like most deck boats the interior design maximizes seating, and there’s room for five aboard with a cushioned bow compartment, seating in front of the starboard-side helm, seating down the port side, and seating along the transom. Its highlight feature is that it provides tremendous stability both at rest and while running. This has a V-shape in the middle with secondary Vs to either side (thus viewed head-on or from the rear, has an appearance like the outline of the letter M). Aside from the easy affordability, the M15 is unlike the average deckboat in that it rides on Bayliner’s M-Hull hull design. And even if you load this boat up with all the optional features available, you’ll find it just about impossible to break the $20K mark. The complete package requires just 17’5” by 7’7” to store and weighs under 2,000 pounds, so this is a garage-ready boat-motor-trailer rig that you can keep right at home and easily trailer with the smallest of tow vehicles. That price tag gets you the entire 15’2” long, 6’7” wide boat with a 40-hp Mercury FourStroke outboard and it also includes a single-axle trailer with a swing-away tongue. With a sticker price starting at a mere $13,999 (or about $125 a month) the M15 is eminently affordable by virtually anyone, especially when you consider the myriad of boat financing companies and various types of boat loan options available today. It’s fitting to start off our list with the M15 because it’s the least expensive new deck boat - not only in this roundup, but perhaps in the entire marketplace.
