I want to buy a newer boat this fall and I need some suggestions. I want a
bowrider but I want one with a head compartment. I have seen a lot of the
newer ones with heads but anyone know of any older (1990-1995) that have a
head compartment?

Guess my wife has never been out with you.

Why not open your search to include boats with small cuddy's?

What size of boat are you looking for? How/where will you use the boat?

Bayliner had one in 1987 or so. Called 2150.

Hoo-boy.... I can see where this is headed.....

Seriously, though.... the ladies enjoy having a head *AND*
privacy.... which is not going to be afforded by a bowrider.....

...whoever suggested a cuddy was probably on the same wavelength as
your wife...

Starting in 1993,( I believe ) Regal started making a 27.5 ft bowrider called a Ventura 8.3 SE. This is a very roomy bowrider with a head, (with a real holding tank) a small dressing area,(basically useless,except for storage) and a wet bar. As an added bonus, it also has a walk-thru transom. I've had a '97 for several years and have been pretty happy with it. Might be worth a look unless you don't want to go that big. However, your options are really limited with the smaller bowriders. Good luck.

I remember the 2150 Bayliner Capri. A search came up with this ad:

21' Bayliner 2150 Capri 1987, with 1998 5.0L OMC I/O. 600 hrs. Looks and
runs great. New custom canvas and bimini. Bowrider with step down to
enclosed head and ice box. Extras include VHF, fish/depthfinder &
galvanized trailer. Originally a lake boat. Only used in ocean 2 years.
$6,500.00 b/o. Call Bob 781-767-2579.

Cobalt had a 23' bowrider with an enclosed head.

I got a 2004 FourWinns Funship 214 w/ encl head.
Dont think you'll find one in any BR under 21'.

I have a "head" in my 17 foot sea ray. It's a 3 gallon pail just the right
height for the wife. Normally it holds the anchor.

You'd have to upgrade to a 5 gallon, but if you wanted to use a bucket
"in style":

Or, if you're all out of buckets, but have your tow vehicle handy:

Must be a real messy in rough water.
