Built by Boston Whaler in 2027, the 280 Dauntless is an 8.53 m centre console motor boat that combines practical fishing capability with comfortable cruising versatility. True to its name, this bay boat is designed to be fearless and ready for adventure, equally at home in shallow inshore waters or venturing offshore for bigger game.
The 280 Dauntless offers a comprehensive specification tailored to active water users. Key features include a spacious forward lounge with integrated storage garage for dive tanks and fishing gear, ample rod storage, a transom livewell, and a pump-out forward fishbox. The innovative helm seat transforms from captain's chair to leaning post or stern-facing trolling bench. Navigation and control are managed through integrated Simrad technology, while digital switching allows remote control of lighting and electronics. Power options range from a single 400 horsepower engine to dual engine packages with joystick piloting. Optional equipment includes a 36V MotorGuide Xl-5 trolling motor, Power Pole anchoring systems, a Seakeeper gyro-stabilizing system, and a full windshield with wipers. The large swim platform offers optional fold-out patio configuration, and optional windlass and beach boarding ladder provide additional functionality.
This boat appeals to serious anglers and active families who value versatility and reliability. Whether targeting inshore species from shallow bays or pursuing pelagic game offshore, the 280 Dauntless delivers the tools and seaworthiness needed. Its legendary unsinkable Whaler hull and flexible configuration options make it equally suitable for fishing expeditions, watersports adventures, or cruising with friends and family.
