Bowrider
Bowriders are the root of all sport boats. Typically referred to as a "spot boat", they're the ideal option for anyone looking for ample sitting areas in both the bow and the stern with a sporty edge. They're referred to as "spot boats" because they're best for cruising out to find a good spot on the lake and dropping anchor for a few hours. This is the ideal boat for entertaining family and friends.
Speed Boats
Speed boats, along with jet boats (below) are similar to bowriders and some deck boats in that they usually offer plenty of space to entertain (though not as much as bowriders or deck boats). Speed boats however take the bowrider to the next level with sleeker hulls and more powerful propulsion systems. If you're looking for that speedy edge without the panache of your more high performance boats, then speed boats are your best option.
Wake Boats & Inboard Ski Boats
These days, you're more inclined to see people skiing and wakeboarding than they are fishing. That's why wake boats and inboard ski boats have become so popular out on the lake. Pleasure craft are typically fast and their engines are usually mounted in the hull of the ship. They are similar to speed boats in that they are highly maneuverable but they also produce a larger wake and are safe for towing.
High Performance Boats
These are the jet boats' cooler, older, sleeker brother. High performance boats are the sports cars of the boating world, putting out high speeds with seriously powerful and advanced propulsion systems. Their deep elongated hulls are designed for high speeds and great maneuverability and also makes them perfect for just about any body of water, from small lakes, to coastal cruising.
