You could get away with a 4-channel and put the tower speakers on 2 channels and the sub on the other 2 channels bridged.

I prefer to put everything on separate amps so I would use a 2 channel amp for the tower speakers and either a mono amp or another 2 channel (bridged) amp for the sub.

Just make sure that you get an amp/amps that have RMS wattage matched to the speakers. Also, make sure that you have the correct ohm loads for the amp and speakers.

I have a v-230 and ran a 4 channel 2 to the boat speakers and 2 to the tower then a 2 channel bridged to the sub. I have upgraded to a third amp recently but it worked fine with the 2

If you can do 2 amps you have a bunch of options.

What is the ohm rating and number of voice coils on the sub?

Go with a 5 channel amp for the cabin speakers and sub. I run the Kicker ZX700.5 and it works very well. Then as said get a 2 channel for the towers.

Depending on the sub you could do a 4 channel with 2 channels in 2 ohm to the 4 interior speakers and the other 2 channels bridged or in 2 ohm as well to the sub. Then do a 2 channel or a 4 channel bridged to the tower speakers.

The Sub I have is one 12" Rockford Fosgate 150watt rms, 4ohms, and 2 voice coils and the towers are Bazooka 8" each one is 100watts rms 4ohms

I am running 3 amps

1. Sub - mono amp
2. tower speakers - 2 ch amp
3. cabin speaker - 2 ch amp

In both my cars I am using a 4-ch amp to run the speakers and a sub. This works well in the cars cause I don't need it crazy loud. In the boat I want it loud and like having everything on its' own amp.

If the tower speakers you have are the ones I think you have they are rated at 100 watts rms. If you can get a 100x4 or so amp that would run 100 watts to each tower speakers and 200 watts to the sub. Then get a 2 channel amp if you want to run at 2 ohms or a 4 channel amp if you want to run 4 ohms to your in boat speakers.

If you don't want to spend much money you can check sonicelectronix.com. They have Crunch amps and they have a few 4 channel amps from 85x4-125x4 rms. Don't get fooled my the max output rating they show though. I just bought an 85x4 rms crunch and hooked it up yesterday to a pair of Fusion 5.25" cans. I haven't had a chance to really listen to it or tune it though. Not sure how long it will last but for under $100 delivered to my door it isn't that big of a risk.
