Some deckboats are just bowriders with wider bows, they were called deckboats to catch the deckboat fad a few years back. The Searay sundeck comes to mind.
Originally deckboats were like fiberglass version of a pontoon boat. Those would ride rough in any chop and probably be a poor choice for Winnipesaukee.
You really can't trust that name deckboat, ask about specific boat models.
