deck boats

Azure AZ200

The new AZ200 pulls together two buying preferences that normally don’t mix: an easy size to operate and big-boat features.

Hurricane SunDeck 2200 I/O

Long known as the number-one brand in the outboard-powered deck boat field, Hurricane totally retooled its stern-drive offerings for 2008 in a commitment to draw attention from I/O lovers.

Ebbtide 2200 SS Dual Console FC

Ebbtide’s midsize deck boat features full-size features like a head compartment and a full swim platform. A portside entry hatch plus a walk-through transom give two easy boarding options.

Larson Escape 234

In previous model years Larson often shared its design team across multiple models and categories. For 2008 they set loose a team dedicated exclusively to the Escape series.

Glastron DX 235

You might notice a familiar model designation, the DX 235. We did. Glastron is known to keep its most recognizable names, even when a model has been overhauled, much like Chevrolet does every few years with the Impala. In fact, we did a visual walk-through on this boat, taking immediate account of the contemporary styling and the new design direction for Glastron. We’d seen the name before, but certainly not the boat.

Starcraft Starstep 229 CC

Starcraft has as much experience building deck boats as any company on the landscape. They also specialize in big-water fishing boats. The new Starstep 229 CC brings together Starcraft’s expertise in both fields.

Splendor 239 Sunstar

Stability is the hallmark of Splendor’s 239 Sunstar. You’ve heard that before. But stability really is unique in this case because Splendor builds the Sunstar on its own performance-oriented catamaran hull.

Sea Ray 290 Sundeck

As the largest model in Sea Ray’s Sundeck line, the 290 is a prime example of the latest thinking in day boats. With nearly 30 feet to work with, the designers have incorporated everything a group of family and friends needs to spend a day on the water in comfort.

NauticStar 210 DC

Stepping aboard this outboard-powered 21-footer instantly made our testers want to sit down. No, not because we felt unsteady: The 8-foot-6-inch beam gives this boat a stable footprint. But the leather-touch upholstery, made from multidirectional expanded-back vinyl, which envelopes the bow and wraps the aft port corner and bucket helm chairs, simply beckoned.

Princecraft Ventura 190 LW

Princecraft’s new Ventura 190 LW takes up as little space as just about any deck boat on the market. Yet because it’s unmistakably a deck boat, this model has ample bench-style seating forward of the helm, a large lounge in the back, and a full walk-through windshield and dual consoles.
