2009 CARAVELLE BOATS 186 Bowrider, It's no secret. You would like a boat that is "small on the outside" so you can easily trailer it, maneuver it, and store it in your garage. Measure our interior space against the competition and you will discover that all 18 foot boats are not created equal. Add wood-free construction, a walk-thru transom and a fiberglass floor and you will agree that the 196 Bow Rider is the best 18 foot boat on the market!
