Note that the exact price of a bowrider depends on many factors such as the list of its exact features, location, and even the dealer’s profit margin.

Hence, for exact prices and further advice please contact your chosen dealer.

Let’s drill into the details and talk about average bowrider prices in detail!

The Cheapest Bowriders (15-20 ft.)

You can find the cheapest bowriders in the 15-16 ft. size class since they cost as little as $20,000-$30,000.

The most popular models in this beginner-size class include the Tahoe T16, the Bayliner M15, and the Bayliner E16. (However, these models are often classed as deck boats.)

Their 17-18 feet siblings like the Bayliner VR4, the Tahoe T18, and the T185S are typically available for $30,000-$50,000.

Advertised as deck boats, the Bayliner M18 and E18 also fall into this price range.

Significantly more models between 19 and 20 feet are marketed for $45,000-$90,000.

Some of the cheapest ones in this breed include the Bayliner VR5 and V20, and the Tahoe 200S and 1950.

Be prepared to pay slightly more for a Sea Ray, Chaparral, or Monterey.

Some of the most expensive 20-foot bowriders are the Regal 200 ES with average prices of $65,000-$90,000.

Midsized Bowrider Prices (21-30 ft.)

The advertised prices of midsized (21-30-foot) bowriders range from $50,000 up to more than $500,000.

If you are looking for the most affordable alternatives, a 21-22-foot Bayliner, Tahoe, or Chaparral runabout may only cost you $50,000-$80,000.

In contrast, the prices of a higher quality Regal or Cobalt in this size class can reach a whopping $120,000-$130,000.

When it comes to the larger classes, the advertised prices of 23–24-footer and 25–26-footer bowriders average between $60,000-$220,000 and $120,000-$350,000, respectively.

To the greatest regret of many fans, Tahoes and Bayliners are not available in these sizes.

Hence, the most affordable models are available in the offerings of Chaparral and Monterey.

On the other end of the spectrum, you can find Cobalt and Regal motorboats.

What’s more, from 24 feet on you can choose from the Chris Craft fleet. Their boats stand above the crowd with their quality, which is reflected in their prices.

For example, a new 24-foot Calypso 24 can set you back $250,000!

You can barely find any 25-26-foot bowriders under the psychological limit of $100,000 since the prices of these runabouts in 2025 typically start at $120,000-$130,000.

Based on our research, the more affordable models in this class are produced by Four Winns, Chaparral, and Monterey. You can expect these prices to be under $200,000.

In contrast, the prices of Sea Rays, Cobalts, and Regals can reach the neighborhood of $250,000-$350,000.

The prices of 27-28 footers average between $160,000 and $400,000, but most of them remain under $300,000.

When it comes to 29-30 footers, they are typically marketed for $200,000 and $300,000. However, high-end models are only available for $400,000-$500,000.

The most well-known brands in this size range include Sea Ray, Regal, Chaparral, Monterey, and Cobalt.

The Most Expensive Bowriders (31-50 ft.)

As one may expect, the most expensive bowrider is found in the largest 31-50-foot class.

The majority of 31- and 32-foot bowriders still feature a dayboat deck layout. You can expect an enclosed head, but they typically lack any interior space.

Despite this, they come with hefty price tags of $400,000-$800,000.

The over 33 feet crossover (a.k.a. overnighter) bowriders have become more prevalent.

As their name suggests, they successfully combine the flexibility of bowrider architecture with the comfort and features of a cabin cruiser.

Besides their heavy construction, another drawback of these boats is their extremely high manufacturing costs.

Prices of the most affordable crossovers like the Formula 330 SSC start at around $600,000, while her 38-foot sibling costs close to $1.3M.

With average prices of $2.6-$2.8M, the most expensive bowriders in 2025 include the Formula 500 SSC and the Cruiser Yacht 50 GLS OB.

Takeaways

Based on our research, the prices of new bowriders range from $20,000 to 2.8M USD in 2025.

Built on 15-20-foot hulls, entry-level models are available for as little as $20,000-$90,000.

These lightweight runabouts are considered great beginner boats and with good reason.

They are not only easy to handle and launch on the ramp, and they also don’t require a huge towing vehicle.

What’s more, the smaller models easily fit in an average garage.

On top of that, they have significantly lower running costs and offer much easier handling on the water than their larger siblings.

If you don’t mind paying more for a dayboat, you can choose among midrange bowriders from 21 to 30 feet.

Priced at $50,000-$500,000, these models come with greater capacities, larger engines, and much heavier bodies.

Note that models only 25 feet in length and smaller are recommended to tow on a regular basis.

Bowriders over 30 feet are typically designed as dayboats, while most of those above 33-35 feet come with a cozy interior space.

These boats are labeled as overnighter or crossover bowriders, but they are often referred to as “king-size bowriders” as well.

Prices in this class start at around $600,000 and go all the way up to $2.8M.
