2023 Boston Whaler 280 Vantage

The 2023 Boston Whaler 280 Vantage is a dual-console center console built on a proven design platform, powered by twin Mercury engines totaling 600 horsepower. At 27 feet 9 inches long with a 9-foot 6-inch beam, the fiberglass hull offers stable handling across a variety of water conditions and activities. The design emphasizes easy operation and accessibility for all ages and skill levels.

The layout features a family-friendly dual-console arrangement with convertible portside lounge seating that reconfigures to suit different uses. A standard portside dive door provides straightforward access from both dock and water, while an integrated hardtop and windshield shelter the helm and cockpit. The hardtop can be fitted with an optional electrically operated Sureshade for additional protection.

Fishing-focused equipment includes dedicated cockpit fishboxes, a transom livewell, and rod holders positioned throughout the cockpit. A removable grill station lets owners entertain at the helm while the boat stays underway. The redesigned bow can accommodate both a windlass and boarding ladder for convenient anchoring and water entry.

The boat has been stored on a lift or in covered dry-stacked conditions. The twin Mercury engines carry an extended Platinum Warranty through June 2028, covering major propulsion systems.
