What is a sterndrive boat?
A sterndrive boat combines an inboard engine with an outboard-style drive, delivering a balance of power and control. The engine is mounted inside the boat, while the drive unit extends through the stern, creating a versatile setup for cruising, watersports, and all-around performance.
Sterndrive Features
More room to enjoy the water
The sterndrive design keeps the transom clear, creating more usable space at the back of the boat. Many models offer spacious swim platforms or expanded lounge areas, giving you more room to relax, gear up, and stay close to the water.
Responsive Handling & Control
The sterndrive performance delivers smooth, consistent power with a stable, controlled ride. With the engine positioned inside the hull, weight is distributed to enhance balance and comfort, making it ideal for cruising, watersports, and longer days on the water.
Built for smooth, confident towing
From tubing to skiing, sterndrive performance brings smooth, confident power to every pull. The open stern design also gives riders and swimmers more room to get in and out of the water with ease.
