2026 Boston Whaler 250 Dauntless

The 2026 Boston Whaler 250 Dauntless is a 25-foot center console built on the brand's proven unsinkable hull design. Powered by a single 300-horsepower Mercury outboard, it reaches speeds of 45 knots and cruises comfortably at 30 knots. The deep-V hull with 18-degree deadrise delivers a smooth, stable ride across varied water conditions, while the self-bailing cockpit floor drains quickly for easy maintenance.

The layout balances fishing and family cruising. A forward double lounge seat with lockable storage faces the water, and aft fold-up deck seats provide flexible seating. The center console includes a head compartment with a portable pump-out toilet for extended outings. A 35-gallon stern livewell, large bow fishbox, and multiple rod holders serve serious anglers. The generous beam creates ample deck space for both activities.

Deck hardware is stainless steel throughout for durability and saltwater resistance. The swim platform includes a telescoping ladder for easy reboarding. The helm features a stainless-steel steering wheel and a SmartCraft gauge package that monitors engine data and systems. An electronics mounting area accommodates larger navigation displays.
