Flexibility is the primary feature of open-console boats. They'll take you fishing with your friends, day-tripping with your family or out for an afternoon of waterskiing or tubing. New designs offer more features than ever on these open pleasure boats. Look for additional storage, enclosed heads, hardtop helms and cost-effective inboard engines. And check out the lengths to which center-console manufacturers are going these days--we've seen them as long as 36 feet! This section was prepared by the marketing department of

The R200 is a center console designed to make the family-minded fisherman (or his wife) choose it rather than a comparably sized bowrider. It offers horseshoe-shape bow seating with removable cushions. You don’t have to remove them to access the storage underneath, thanks to the easy-access latch system. The compartments are insulated and drain overboard, and serve as fish boxes or coolers. The recessed bow rail and side-mounted bow cleats keep hardware out of the way.

Fuel Capacity 70 gal.
