What's with the deck boats?

[pstew96]

I am not seeing very many cabin cruisers, why is that? I can't use a deck boat in the water I boat in!

Where are you? What water are you boating in? What kind/size boat are you looking for? What websites are you searching?
A little more info would be helpful.

Small cabin cruisers (under 40) like express have pretty much disappeared replaced by either deck boats / bow riders or better Center / dual Consoles type which offer much better ride. Some have small cabins.

Don’t know where you are but here in SoFl that s all you see these days. Then when you hit 40’ you start seeing FB boats.

I finally want a new boat, I'm in the Great South Bay and the Atlantic ocean, deck boats won't work for me, just been at the Raritan NJ boat show, there were two boats I would consider, a Monteray and a Crownline, slim pickens! I suppose I will have to look at used boats. This stinks!

I had a similar desire, wanted express or sport cruiser. Ended up with a 2011 Chaparral 270 Signature. It's a nice boat. Especially now that the VP outdrive was rebuilt and I can actually use the boat.
