A Buying Guide to Center Console Boats

Choosing a boat can be a real challenge, given how many options are available to you on the boat market. If you’re after a boat that can be used in several different ways and is very stable, a center console boat might be the craft you’re looking for. Keep reading to learn more about what center console boats are like so you can decide if they’re the right choice for you.

Size

Center console boats are manufactured in several different sizes to suit unique boaters’ needs. The smallest models clock in at around 13’ in length, while the largest are around 53’ in length with many choices in between. If you’re going to boat on the ocean or rougher waters, a larger center console is best.

Features

The open layout is one of the biggest draws that a center console boat has. The ability to walk around the entire console means you have a lot of floor space on your boat. The storage compartments tend to be placed in the middle as well, further freeing up room. This orientation also helps you to be able to balance weight evenly, making your craft more stable on the water. Fishers in particular love center consoles due to the ease with which they can cast their lines over any side.
