I am shopping for a Deck / Pontoon / Bowrider Boat. I currently do not own any boat. I am not really sure which one I want to settle on, but I do have a restriction on Beam Width.
I will be using a private boat slip with a maximum opening, and maximum beam-to-beam width of 104", which is 8'8". A lot of the deck boats that I am looking at are 8'6". This slip is on a fairly calm body of water, with not a lot of wake activity.
I have had some salesmen tell me I can squeeze a 102" boat in, as long as I am careful. However, I am thinking I should limit myself to an absolute maximum of 8' (96") in beam width. This 8' beam width eliminates a lot of the boats I am looking at. By the way, I have a length in the slip of 25' 6".
Thanks for your input.
