This is the kind of boat that lets you leave the dock knowing the day will be easy, flexible, and shared without compromise. If your current setup feels crowded, underpowered, or forces you to choose between entertaining and relaxing, this configuration replaces those trade-offs with a single platform that does both well.

The 2026 Elite 25 OB Bowrider is built to support full days around Tampa Bay, from cruising the ICW to anchoring off the beach, without constant adjustment or second-guessing. The deep-V hull with 21° deadrise delivers predictable handling when afternoon chop builds, while the wide beam supports stable movement and comfortable seating throughout the cockpit and bow. Fuel capacity and draft are sized for real local use, so range, sandbar access, and bridge clearance stay manageable.

At the helm, integrated navigation, power-assisted steering, and thoughtful charging and storage keep operation simple and distraction-free. The cockpit layout supports social flow, with a wet bar, cooler storage, and shaded seating under the fiberglass hardtop-reducing setup time and keeping everyone comfortable longer. The enclosed head with sink and porta-potty removes the pressure to head back early, especially for couples or families planning full-day outings.
