Boston Whaler has decided to give the family a major facelift of the Dauntless series with the introduction of the 220 and 250, replacing the 210 and 240. Above all, Boston Whaler has gone beyond a facelift to deliver a completely new boat. At first glance, it's hard not to succumb to the "Wowww" effect. The lines are simply superb.
Completely redesigned, the hull is deeper, with a hull angle 2° closer and a slightly higher deck line. The rounded nose has also disappeared, to be replaced by a pointed, conquering bow in the image of the Outrage series. In fact, from the outside, the 250 Dauntless looks a bit like a mini Outrage, and no one will complain about that.
An Outrage-like concept
The Dauntless has gained 4 inches in length, which has enabled the team to improve the deck layout. It features a new, more formal console, closer to the world of offshore fishings. The front panel of this console is capable of accommodating a 12-inch electronic screen, and a large glove compartment. There's also space for the Vessel View, switches, cupholders and a VHF.
The driver's station also features a footrest and is protected by an large windshield. Taking advantage of the hull hollow, the interior of the console is large enough to accommodate a chemical toilet, while at the front there's a lounge seat for two with armrests, which also conceals an illuminated locker with a rack for fishing rods.
