Finding the one that is right for you can be a bit of a challenge.

There are dozens of brands available in a variety of sizes, styles, propulsion types and price points. Same for the Gander in Season 7 ("Penumbra"). The Runabout and Deck Boat category is a crowded field. The Shenandoah was first featured in "Change of Heart" only to be destroyed later in Season 6 ("Valiant"). That could have been the Volga since it was never again mentioned. The runabout destroyed in "Empok Nor" was not mentioned by name. But the Rubicon was the runabout featured in "One Little Ship." The only destroyed runabout mentioned by name in Season 5 was the Yukon. One could hypothesize that the Rubicon was destroyed at Torga Four ("The Ship"), then its replacement was destroyed at Ajillon Prime ("Nor the Battle to the Strong"), then its replacement destroyed in "The Ascent". Best runabouts: Our pick of the most appealing bowriders under 25ft. The Volga was featured in "Body Parts." Three runabouts were still at the station in "In Purgatory's Shadow" and "By Inferno's Light" (the Rio Grande, the Yukon, and the Volga) even after Worf and Garak took one into the Gamma Quadrant. And at some point during Season 4, four runababouts were assinged to the station. That was when I think the writers stopped keeping track with a total five runabouts lost during Season 5. In the past many people would have capped the runabout class at boats of 25 feet or less, however, modern trends have pushed the limit upwards. Orinoco was destroyed in "Our Man Bashir". The term runabout can be used to describe any small, open powerboat, so a wide range of boat types and sub-classes can be considered runabouts. Mekong was destroyed in "The Die is Cast" trying to escape the Jem'Hadar armada. Ganges was destroyed in "Armageddon Game." Replaced by the Mekong.

Yangtzee Kiang crashlanded and was damaged beyond repair in "Battle Lines." Replaced by the Orinoco ("The Siege").
