Contemplating the purchase of a used boat could prove to be an excellent solution for those who wish to venture out to sea without having to invest in a new model. And this applies to smaller hulls, such as dinghies and dayboats, as well as to larger cruisers or cruising hulls. In this article we will look at three different models, differing in both price, size and intended use. Three hulls that, from dinghy to cabin cruiser, may be able to meet your different needs.

Boston Whaler is a more than renowned brand in the motor boating world, synonymous with efficient, top-quality hulls. In the case of the Montauk 17 we are confronted with a hull just over 5 meters long that is ideal both for day trips in search of cool weather and swimming offshore or in roadsteads, and for fishing, in whichever of its recreational forms you want to understand it. Small, nimble and outboard-powered, it is a perfect hull even for those new to the sport, complete with armchairs and forward sunbathing area. The outboard motorization then offers not inconsiderable versatility, making it ideal even for areas where the draft is reduced. The model in question, from 1978, is a classic, and it installs a Yamaha of already considerable power, a 2017 100-horsepower. To learn more, click here!
With the Solemar B22 Offshore we enter the realm of dinghies perfect for summer. Just less than 7 meters long, the B22 in fact offers ample space dedicated to relaxation, both at the bow, with a large sundeck, and at the stern, where the small armchairs (which in turn can be converted into a solarium), can enjoy both the sun and the shade offered by the bimini. This is a great rib for those looking for a simple and fun hull, ideal for sea outings with friends and/or family. Powered by a 200-horsepower Yamaha engine, this model comes complete with several optional extras, including a tent for nautical camping and a trolley for transport. To learn more, click here!
For those looking for a hull to vacation with, our marketplace has an ad hoc answer: a Prestige 420 Fly for sale. At 13.06 meters long and powered by two Cummins QSB 6.7 engines of 425 horsepower each, this is a boat designed specifically for cruising, strong with two double cabins, dinette with galley, wheelhouse and lounge (convertible to extra berth), and flybridge complete with lounging area. If that were not enough, a pleasant sitting area aft is sheltered from the flybridge, while, forward, the sundeck is ideal for enjoying cruising as well as relaxing in a roadstead. A hull to consider if what you are looking for is vacations at sea, with family or friends. To learn more, click here!
