Here are 19 boats you should check out. We have categorized them per boat type so it’s easy for you to find the ones you are looking for.
Let’s get started!
Pontoon boats are most commonly equipped with outboard motors but they do offer both inboard and outboard options.

Fishing boats are just what they sound like. Boats that are designed with fishing in mind.
This is exhibited in the equipment and layout of the specific boat. Fishing boats are often aluminum with an outboard motor but can be many types of boats.
For the purpose of this article, I have chosen to classify fishing boats as the classic aluminum style.

This boat can be equipped with an outboard motor of up to 20 horsepower.
The starting price for this boat is approximately $150,000.00.
Some boats serve a main purpose to ferry you to other, larger boats. These are the most commonly inflatable dinghies.
These are often small and able to be attached or even brought on to longer vessels and can be equipped with outboard motors as an option.
13. goplus inflatable dinghy.
This boat is made up of enough air tubes to make sure you do not need to worry about failure or sinking. This boat features a weight limit of up to 600 pounds and has built-in benches to sit on ready to seat 4 people.

Another type of boat you might be looking at in your list of boats with outboard motors is a center console boat. These boats are often used for fishing but they can be used for other family activities while out on the water as well.
Like all the examples before, these boats also commonly feature an outboard motor.
15. boston whaler 190 montauk.
This boat is a great center console option for both fishermen and those who just want to get out on the water and enjoy the day.

This boat is mighty and can hold up to 1050 horsepower. This would have to be accomplished using multiple outboard motors.
This boat has a higher cost than our previous examples of approximately $264,900.00.
Power cruisers are similar to other power vessels with the added luxury of multiple cabins and under deck amenities.
These boats, like all others, generally come equipped with an outboard motor, and can be equipped with high power.
Because of the luxuries equipped, these boats are often more expensive. They also generally require motors with high levels of horsepower which can also get expensive.
If you plan to purchase this type of boat, you will want to make sure you plan for a larger budget with this option.
17. cutwater c-24.

Now that you have decided that an outboard motor is right for you, you will want to make sure you pick the right one. When purchasing your outboard motor, there are some things to keep in mind.
Above, I have indicated how much horsepower each boat can handle. Power is an important consideration to make when searching for a motor.
If you plan to tow any objects for water sports, you will want more horsepower than if you do not plan to tow something.
You will want to make sure that you do not equip your boat with more power than it can handle, but you will want to make sure you have enough power for your vessel to sufficiently be propelled forward.
If you have a sailboat you only need enough power to help you during moments of tough navigation.
If you need large amounts of power you might want to look into getting more than one motor. It is not uncommon for a boat to have 2 or even 3 outboard motors attached to the back of their vessel. This helps to balance the power distribution of your watercraft.
Another thing to consider during all parts of your boat buying decision, you will want to keep your budget in mind.
If you have a lower budget you might want to consider a used motor. Outboard motors can be good for around 3,000 hours. This means that a gently used motor could be an ideal way to save some money.
If you do choose to buy a used motor, make sure that you make sure that it doesn’t have any issues. Looking to make sure it is cleaned properly and in working order is important.
If possible, you might even want to run it and make sure there are no red flags such as the wrong colored smoke.
Make sure when you buy your outboard motor, you find one that will last. Even though an outboard motor is easier to replace than an inboard option, you will want to make sure that you do not have to replace yours more often than necessary.
Make sure you read reviews and buy from a trustworthy manufacturer and brand.
The most popular brands of outboard motors include Mercury, Evinrude, Yamaha, and Suzuki.
What brand you choose will rely mainly on how much power you need, what your budget is, and what specifications you are looking for.
Now that you have invested in the proper outboard motor, you will want to make sure you are protecting your investment and increasing the motor life of your engine.
This means you will want to complete regular maintenance on your engine.
Some proper motor care includes:
The proper care and maintenance can increase the life and fuel efficiency of your motor that will make sure you are not replacing it earlier than you should be.
It is important to know the difference between an inboard and an outboard motor before you decide to purchase one or the other.
An outboard motor is one that is attached to the deck of a boat, often using a bolted stand or other fastening options.
These motors can be controlled by the dashboard of your vessel or by directly steering it with a handle on a smaller boat.
Having an outboard motor will allow you to buy motors after the initial purchase of the boat, as well as purchasing more than one motor for the same vessel.
There are many pros to purchasing an outboard motor. These pros include:
Outboard motors are ideal for people who prefer quick-handling, tight turn ratio, and better maneuverability with lower speeds.
These motors are also good for boating in shallow waters because the prop tilts up.
Like everything, there are also cons when it comes to an outboard motor. These include:
When it comes to comparing the pros and cons, it is obvious that an outboard motor has far more pros and would be a great option.
Even with lower torque, you can still equip your boat with an outboard motor by adding a second or even third motor for really heavy boats.
An inboard motor is either mounted into the center or your boat or stowed inside the transom and does not hang off the back.
An inboard motor is often high-performing engines that are repurposed for marine use. Because these motors are more complex, they have a longer lifespan than outboard motors.
The pros of an inboard motor are:
Inboard motors are favored when it comes to watersports including skiing or wakeboarding because they have better wake control, more towing power, and the transom is clear for towing ropes.
The cons of an inboard motor include:
Looking at all the pros and cons above, you might be considering an outboard motor. This is an excellent choice!
All of my former boats have featured outboard motors and they have worked excellent for both speedboats and pontoon boats.
If you also would like an outboard motor, keep reading for some great options of boats with outboard motors.
Outboard motors are an overall easier motor choice for your boat. It is easier to manage them, replace them, and choose the best motor for you.
When you are choosing a boat, you should make sure that you get the proper motor that is right for you and the intended purpose of your recreational watercraft.
Luckily, outboard motors are an option that come with all types of boats so you are not limited in your choices.
With the proper boat and motor, you can spend many happy memories out on the water with friends and family.

Yankee Condore 21 Halifax. Aug 28, 2012. #1. Hiee all, Recently I've been mussing with the idea of getting rid of the transom bracket for the outboard and fabricating a well inside the aft locker and mounting the OB there. It would me centered on the keel line, that 100#s or so would be moved forward inside the boat about 2 feet and the prop ...
Another problem with outboard motors for sailboats is that the correct prop pitch is hard to find. You want a 6" inch pitch, while most have 8 to 9" which makes the engine labor. ... My previous boat (Bristol 24) had an outboard well. The boat was much more attractive with the outboard hidden. The well also kept it hidden from sight by thieves.
Replacing an inboard engine with a tilt-upoutboard in a custom-built well. Atom's extra-long-shaft outboard motor places the shaft nearly as low as the original prop in its aperture. My 28-foot Pearson Triton, Atom, has undergone several extensive refits during our 40 years and two circumnavigations together.
Having the motor tilt would require slotting the transom as well as the bottom of the boat and the motor would be exposed and that could cause problems. The box I'm not too worried about building because I will probably be adding a mizzen mast to make her into a yawl. Getting the control cables to articulate the 30 inches or so might be ...
All G-23 and the vast majority of G-26 (probably 700 of the 980 made) were manufactured with the transom cut out and reinforced so you could easily mount an outboard. Some G-26 of course had inboard engines, and then the transom was not cut out by the factory. This cut out means that you can easily tilt the motor up when sailing without having ...
This Alberg 30 has a 9.8hp motor installed in a tilt-up outboard well. The prop is well positioned forward and low so as not to suck air in choppy water and can be tilted up for drag-free sailing. The prop aperture has been filled for low drag and improved rudder efficiency. The Alberg 30 is one of those rare boats that has the perfect shape ...
4-18 HP for boats between 20-30' (approximately 2,000-10,000lbs) 18-34 HP for boats between 30-40' (10,000lbs or more) There are some things to consider when deciding how much horsepower you need or want. Location and the type of conditions you expect you'll be sailing in is one of the biggest factors.
Honda for example offers 20 and 25-inch transom height (long or short shaft) right down to their smallest BF2 (two-horsepower) model. Mercury and Mariner only offer a 15-inch short-shaft version ...
The most common form of auxiliary propulsion for small sailboats is the outboard motor. On some boats, it is mounted in a well forward of the transom. Such arrangements conceal and protect the motor but may not allow it to be tilted up to get the prop out of the water when sailing. More common, perhaps is the mounting of a bracket on the transom.
To get the right amount of horsepower needed to efficiently propel a sailboat, divide the displacement of the boat (in lb) by 550. You need approximately 1 HP per 550 lb of displacement or 4 HP per 2200 lb. Most sailboats don't need a motor with more than 30 HP. In this article, I'm talking about small outboard engines for sailboats.
When I am planning serious motoring (which I do a lot of) the motor is in the well. It gives good performance in the well, even in rough conditions, it doesn't cavitate, which is a complaint many outboard powered sailboat owners seem to have. Slick. If I am doing serious sailing, I take the motor out of the well and store it in a locker.
With the side pieces in position based on my end-to-end measurement of the outboard's lower unit as it rotated through 360 degrees, I spaced the side pieces appropriately and drew the lines onto the bottom of the boat that marked the hull cut that would soon be the opening for the motor well.
With the Spirit 1.0 Evo electric sailboat motor, you can go 5.5 mph (8.8 kph) at top speed on the 21 ft RS21 sailing boat, or troll for 20 hours continuously at 2.2 mph (3.5 kph) according to our test. This electric sailboat motor with regeneration allows you to recover energy from the prop while under sail.
Jan 5, 2023. #5. Max HP is not what limits what you CAN put on the boat, it is the transom strength and weight. You CAN put a 9.9 on an H26 but I would not recommend it. When I got my H26, it had a 1-year old Honda 9.9 on the back. It was new and worked well but it was heavy.
One issue that Steve mentioned above is that for many boats with a motor well, you must hoist the outboard up vertically to beach / launch the boat. With heavier outboards this can be nearly impossible, and with 4-strokes you either have to have a mount / rail at the well to hang the outboard on vertically, or have cleats to hold the outboard ...
The production boat will be fitted with a deck and sole in one or two parts. In most cases those molded parts will be fitted to the hull with fasteners and sealant. Those parts do not add strength of the typical production boat. In our boats, we will integrate parts like the motor well, sole and deck in the structure to build a stronger and
THAT motor well. You need to check out a design called a Simmons Sea Skiff. I think Old Wharf Dory Co. makes some. It's a carolina coastal design with an "internal" motor well to (as above mentioned) keep the stern clear for hauling nets. GO SOX! carolina skiff, Oct 22, 2004. #8. Joined: Oct 2004. Posts: 20.

Another type of boat you might be looking at in your list of boats with outboard motors is a center console boat. These boats are often used for fishing but they can be used for other family activities while out on the water as well. Like all the examples before, these boats also commonly feature an outboard motor. $50,000.00 to $100,000.00: 15.
