New and Used Powerboats for Sale

What is a Power Boat?

A power boat, or motorboat, is any watercraft propelled by an engine. From compact skiffs to luxurious cabin cruisers, powerboats come in various sizes and types to suit different boating activities and lifestyles. Whether you're working the offshore fishing grounds or towing wakeboarders across a lake, powerboats offer speed, versatility and ease of use.

Types of Powerboats

Center Console Boats

These fast and agile boats are typically designed for bay and offshore fishing and are often suitable for other family activities, as well. The open deck layout and central helm provide full walkaround access, and larger center console models are often powered with dual or triple outboard motors.
 

Cabin Crusiers

Designed for comfort, cabin cruisers range from small to large, and are capable of lower and higher speeds. Whether they have cuddy cabins or yacht accommodations, they include sleeping quarters, a minimal galley and one or more heads. Ideal for families or weekend getaways, they offer a great mix of range, performance and liveability.
 

Fishing Boats

From inland bass boats to saltwater-ready center consoles, fishing boats come equipped with livewells, rod holders and plenty of storage for gear and fish.

RIBS (Rigid Inflatable Boats)

Lightweight yet tough, RIBs are commonly used for both recreational and commercial purposes. Great as tenders for larger yachts, used in rescue operations, diving, or quick coastal trips.

Bowriders

These versatile boats feature an open bow area with additional seating, making them ideal for day cruising, watersports, or simply relaxing on the water. Bowriders are popular for inland and nearshore use and often come in compact, trailerable sizes.

Trawlers

Trawler boats are also commonly called long-range cruisers because of their fuel efficiency, stability, and onboard comfort. Ideal for extended trips, these boats operate at modest speeds in displacement or semi-displacement mode. They normally feature spacious living quarters and are powered by diesel inboard engines.

Motor Yachts

Motor yachts typically are larger, often luxurious powerboats with multiple cabins, heads, and entertainment spaces. Suited to extended cruising or onboard living, powered for performance by powerful inboard engines, they are also comfortable and often include flybridge, galley, and multiple staterooms.

Watersports Boats

Also called tow boats, these are built for wakeboarding, wake surfing, water skiing and tubing. They feature ballast tanks, trim tabs and wake-shaping hulls to customize the rider’s experience.
