2014 Boston Whaler 230 Vantage

See the legend in a whole new light. Boston Whaler's versatile 230 Vantage delivers all the power, safety, comfort and luxury appointments you expect from a Whaler---in a revolutionary dual-console layout. The 230 Vantage's incredible design features a spacious bow area with cushions, backrests and cup holders, while a fold-out stern seat with backrest provides comfort for family and friends. The innovative convertible port lounge seat with storage faces either forward or backward, so you can face your guests or watch the watersports behind the boat.

Hardcore anglers will appreciate the utility center in the cockpit, which includes a sink with drain, a cutting board and a 36-quart cooler. An optional fishing package adds a 14-gallon livewell, a raw-water washdown and transom-mounted rod holders. Cruise confidently offshore for an extended fishing run, thanks to an accessible head featuring a molded sink with drain and lockable entry door.

For those who put the ski in fish and ski, the 230 Vantage has it all. A watersports tower with navigation light and tow bit, plus the speed and power of a 225-hp Mercury FourStroke Verado engine ensure thrilling wakeboarding rounds behind the rope. An optional Fusion stereo system pumps out music to ski to, or add the premium audio package (amp, premium speakers, subwoofer) to really get things bumping.

The 230's versatility hardly ends there. For yachtsmen hoping to get a functional, stylish yacht tender that vastly outperforms any inflatable dinghy or RIB boat, the 230 has all the luxury amenities and horsepower to transport your whole crew comfortably.
