Vessel Description
2023 Boston Whaler 280 Dauntless for Sale in Quincy, MA
The 2023 Boston Whaler 280 DAUNTLESS redefines Boston-area boating with its perfect blend of adventure-ready features and modern comfort. Outfitted with twin Mercury 250 HP V8 Verado outboards (only 188 hours) and stainless-steel propellers, this Dauntless powers across Boston Harbor with both speed and confidence. Seamlessly plot your course to Castle Island or Spectacle Island with the Simrad NSX 12-inch multifunction display, integrated GPS and chart plotter, navigation lights, and compass guiding each run.
Every detail of the hull and deck is built for both practical use and timeless style, from the fiberglass hardtop and tough rub rail to the welded stainless-steel rails and cleats. Boarding and swimming are easy with the starboard transom walkthrough, while the smart seating lets everyone unwind—forward port and starboard seats feature folding backrests, and the forward console lounge and convertible helm seating offer versatile places to stretch out. For lunch afloat, the bow table with dedicated storage transforms the bow into a scenic dining spot with the Boston skyline as your backdrop.
Serious anglers and families alike will love the well-thought-out storage: an insulated bow locker, forward in-floor fish box with pump-out, leaning-post drawers, and plenty of aft-seat storage keep gear and the day’s catch in place, whether you’re chasing stripers or prepping for a harbor cruise. Anchoring up off Peddocks Island is a breeze with the convenient bow anchor locker and overboard drain. Set the mood for sunset with the multicolor RGBW LED courtesy lighting and red or white dome lights—perfect for any atmosphere, from lively to laid-back.
Convenience and fun round out the Dauntless experience. The onboard porta-potti head with pump-out, stainless-steel steering wheel with knob, and lots of drink holders provide comfort during full days on the water. And for thrill-seekers, a watersports tow point means you can wakeboard or tube right off the Boston coastline. Wherever you roam—from the Inner Harbor’s bustle to the quiet coves behind Thompson Island—the 280 DAUNTLESS is made for exploring, entertaining, and creating new Boston boating memories.
Included:
- Marinemax Certified Pre-owned.
