Deck Boats

Deck boats have wide deck to carry 8 to 12 or more passengers (like pontoons) but look and perform more like runabouts. They are powerful, too, making them excellent boats for skiing, tubing and wakeboarding.

So the industry changed the name of deck boats, who you fooling those are wide bottomed bow riders, because? Deck Boats sell better? Watching this I kept asking 'Where is the deck"? Pontoon boats are a deck with pontoons under for float, Bow riders are "Bow Riders" and the original deck boats were a deck on a boat hull with seats on top much like the pontoon boats. Could we see a actual video of an actual deck boat being used by a family plz. Do any manufacturers even make actual deck boats any more?
