Used Family Boats for Sale in Nashville, TN

Finding the right family boat starts with understanding how your family will use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bowrider or pontoon — which is better for families?

It depends on your priorities. Bowriders are better for water sports (skiing, tubing, wakeboarding) and offer a sportier ride. Pontoons provide more deck space, shade options, and a smoother ride — ideal for entertaining, fishing, and relaxing. Many families start with a pontoon and add a sport boat later, or vice versa.

What's the best size boat for a family of 5?

For a family of 5, a 20–22ft bowrider or a 22–24ft pontoon is the sweet spot. Both provide enough seating, storage, and power for comfortable day trips on Percy Priest or Old Hickory Lake without being difficult to trailer and launch.
