2016 Boston Whaler 230 Vantage

This 2016 Boston Whaler 230 Vantage is a 23-foot dual console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single 350 hp Mercury engine. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 43 knots with a cruising speed around 28 knots. It won the NMMA's Innovation Award for its thoughtful design that maximizes capability and comfort in a compact footprint.

The layout emphasizes flexible seating and functionality. The port lounge seat converts to face either forward or aft, allowing you to orient toward guests or observe watersports action. The bow features generous, ergonomic seating with integrated storage. An enclosed head compartment with molded sink and drain serves the onboard facilities, complemented by a freshwater shower.

The helm is equipped with either Raymarine or Garmin multifunction displays, Fusion stereo with JL Audio speakers, VHF radio, compass, and digital throttle and shift controls. A hard-top provides integrated rod holders, weather protection, and structural rigidity. The swim platform includes a boarding ladder, and a watersports ski pylon is standard. Optional packages add a 14-gallon livewell, raw-water washdown, transom-mounted rod holders, and insulated fishboxes for offshore fishing capability.
