NauticStar 206 Sport I/O
Today's deck boats can compete on looks and performance with any other sport boat design. But when it comes to open space, they're in a class of their own.

Loaded with creature comforts and built for speed, deck boats have shed that pontoon / bowrider
look of yesteryear and have evolved into a legitimate sport boat design. The class of 2007 tends to
fall into two categories: traditional-looking models that rely on proven cockpit layouts and deep-V
hulls to generate family fun, or more adventurous models that boast head-turning designs. The good
news is that with a broad range of price points and power plants, anyone can own a deck boat that
quenches their water gene - whether it's a thirst for speed, a passion for fishing or a need to
party. The boats in this roundup can handle all three.
NauticStar 206 Sport I/O

The flip-up changing area makes good use of the in-floor storage locker, which makes it a
clever space-saver.
Families Will Love
Hanging out in the roomy cockpit, and a convertible passenger seat that flips back to create
a sun lounge.
Top Amenities
Gold bezel Faria gauges; wood grain steering wheel; 25-quart Igloo cooler; two ladders; two
recessed halogen lights; seven drink holders judiciously designed into the gunwales; oversized
sunpad at the transom with special storage locker beside it.
Best Reason to Buy
Look beneath the deck of the 206 Sport I/O, and you'll find fiberglass stringers and an
