2017 Boston Whaler 230 Vantage

This 2017 Boston Whaler 230 Vantage is a 23-foot center console powered by a single 300-horsepower Mercury Verado engine, capable of cruising at 30 knots. The fiberglass hull and open layout make it well-suited for day boating and watersports, with an extended integral swim platform, telescoping ladder, and optional ski tow pylon or wakeboard tower.

The boat features flexible seating throughout: a bow lounge with backrests, a convertible port lounge seat that faces either forward or backward, and a fold-out stern seat. An enclosed lockable head compartment houses a portable head, while the utility center includes a sink with drain, cutting board, grab rail, and a 35-quart YETI cooler.

Navigation and entertainment are handled by a Raymarine Hybrid Touch chart plotter and Fusion stereo with JL Audio speakers. An optional fishing package is available, which adds a 14-gallon transom livewell, rod holders, raw-water washdown, and a dedicated fishing station.
