Boston Whaler's new Vantage range
New 23 and 27 foot dual-console all-rounders for 2013!Boston Whaler has announced a new "cutting-edge" dual-console range of boats called Vantage that have been designed to combine performance, comfort, function and style. The multi-purpose boats debut in two sizes -- a 23 and 27 footer (video below).
Fully equipped for everything from leisurely cruising to family water sports and even serious fishing, each Vantage suits a wide variety of boaters' needs and desires, opening up a whole new view on the possible, says Whaler.
One of the most notable new features on the Vantage is its revolutionary convertible portside lounge seat, which folds into a variety of positions so that passengers can ride facing fore or aft, partially or fully reclined, or even use it as a leaning post for offshore fishing.
Throughout the boat, well-cushioned, spacious seating invites comfortable cruising, while a deep freeboard and the dual consoles offer greater protection from the elements.
Vantage offers a host of amenities for the serious angler, including a livewell with light, transom-mounted rod holders and raw-water washdown station.
Meanwhile, watersports enthusiasts will appreciate the sports tower and tow arch options, and the optional beach boarding ladder. Ample storage space has been provided to keep a stack of gear, clothing, toys and accessories out from underfoot.
For entertaining a crowd, notable options include premium audio and a summer kitchen with refrigerator and grill (available on the 270).
Propulsion comes courtesy of standard Mercury Verado® FourStroke engines (single on the 230; dual on the 270), and handling is said to be first-rate. And with high freeboard and thick coaming bolsters, you will feel secure when underway.
Vantage features another amenity that all-day boaters will appreciate: a spacious head.
Whereas many console-based heads feel tight and cramped, the head on both Vantage models benefits from an offset walk-through to the bow, meaning the portside console with head is broad and benefits from greater headroom on the centreline.
Vantage also offers multiple canvas options to protect passengers from the sun, including a bimini top for the watersports tower; a sun top with boot; port lounge and cockpit covers; and even a weather curtain set with side curtains. User comfort and satisfaction are paramount.
You can take this boat fishing all day and then take it straight to dinner -- it's suited for just about everything you could dream of using it for, Whaler says.
Both new Vantage boats will be on show at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from October 25-29. More from your nearest Boston Whaler dealer.
