Boston Whaler 220 Dauntless
Boston Whaler’s R&D team has designed two new models for its popular Dauntless bay boat series. The new 220 (shown above) and 250 Dauntless can be fished in calm inshore waters but also have the ability to target some offshore species. They are versatile platforms for day trips and watersports, too. The boats are all-new designs, from the deep-V hulls up. Freeboard is higher than it was on older Dauntless models, which makes the 220 and 250 better suited for rougher water. A nice feature on both models is the two-person sunlounge with automotive-style armrests forward of the console; when it first debuted on the builder’s 270 Dauntless, it drew praise. Families like the comfortable sunbed, and anglers appreciate the dry-storage compartment located underneath it.
