2026 Boston Whaler 250 Dauntless

The 2026 Boston Whaler 250 Dauntless is a 25-foot center console designed for inshore fishing and offshore cruising. Powered by a single 425-horsepower Mercury outboard, it combines bay boat functionality with open-water capability in a fiberglass hull that maintains the classic Whaler profile. The boat is offered in a selection of gelcoat colors.

The layout centers on a spacious console with double forward lounge seating and dual bow seats featuring folding backrests. A large lockable storage compartment under the forward lounges accommodates rods up to seven feet. The stern features fold-up deck seating with a flush design, and storage is distributed throughout the interior. A head compartment with an enlarged door provides convenient facilities.

Fishing-focused equipment includes a 35-gallon stern livewell, bow fishbox, rod holders, and multiple leaning post options. A swim platform with an angled ladder supports water access. The helm console uses SmartCraft gauges and can be outfitted with optional Simrad navigation systems. Optional equipment includes a 36V MotorGuide trolling motor, Power Pole for anchoring control, a trolling motor pre-rig panel, and JL Audio stereo. An optional full-function audio system is available.
