Dual Console Boat FAQ
What makes a dual console boat different from a bowrider?
A dual console has two separate consoles — port and starboard — with a walk-through windshield between them leading to bow seating, instead of one open bow area. That layout gives passengers wind and spray protection up front while keeping the fishier features boaters want, like higher gunwales and livewells.
Dual console or bowrider — what's the difference?
A dual console typically has a beefier build, higher freeboard, and more fishing-oriented features like livewells and rod holders, making it a good middle ground between a bowrider and a center console. A bowrider is usually lighter, more affordable, and better suited to swimming, tubing, and casual day trips.
How much does a dual console boat cost?
Dual console prices generally start in the mid five figures for a smaller 20-foot model and can run well into six figures for a larger, fully rigged boat with twin outboards and premium electronics.
