Deck Boats for Sale in Knoxville, TN

Deck boats split the difference between a traditional bowrider and a pontoon, and that versatility makes them a favorite among Knoxville boaters who want one boat that does it all. The wider beam and open floor plan seat more passengers than a standard runabout, while the V-hull still cuts through water with real performance — something you appreciate on a busy Saturday afternoon on Fort Loudoun Lake when wakes are rolling in from every direction. For families based in the Knoxville metro, a deck boat is often the smartest single-boat investment. You can anchor in a Tellico Lake cove and spread out for a swim day, tow tubes on Watts Bar with enough power to keep teenagers happy, and still cruise at speed to your favorite lakeside dining spot. The open cockpit also makes it easier to move around the boat, which parents of young children will appreciate during long days on the water. Premier Watersports' West Knoxville location stocks deck boats from trusted brands in a variety of lengths and power options. Whether you prefer an outboard configuration for easy maintenance or a stern-drive setup for a lower profile, our team will help match you to the right combination. Stop by the showroom off I-40 or explore our online listings to compare available models.

General

Deck boats use a fiberglass V-hull and offer sportier handling and higher top speeds than pontoons. Pontoons ride on aluminum tubes and provide a flatter, more stable platform. Deck boats generally seat fewer passengers but deliver a more dynamic ride.

Yes. Most deck boats have sufficient horsepower and hull performance for towing tubes and recreational skiing. They are not designed for competitive wakeboarding, but they handle family watersports well.

Models in the 20- to 24-foot range are the most popular around Knoxville. They are large enough for comfortable group outings on Fort Loudoun and Tellico but still manageable to trailer and launch at public ramps.

Fort Loudoun Lake has numerous public boat ramps within 15 to 20 minutes of our West Knoxville dealership. Concord Park, Volunteer Landing, and Louisville Point are all popular launch sites with paved ramps and trailer parking.

Most deck boats in the 20- to 24-foot range are rated for 10 to 14 passengers, depending on the model and engine configuration. Check the capacity plate on any specific model for the exact number.

Our Knoxville service department works on all deck boat brands and power configurations. From seasonal maintenance to mid-summer repairs, our factory-trained technicians keep your boat running all season.
