Built by Boston Whaler in 2027, the 280 Dauntless is an 8.53-meter center console motor boat that combines versatility, seaworthiness and practical design. True to its name, this flagship bay boat is engineered to handle both calm inshore waters and offshore conditions, making it equally at home casting for inshore species or venturing beyond the breakers for bigger game.
The 280 Dauntless features a legendary unsinkable hull paired with Simrad navigation technology for precise onboard control. The innovative helm seat transforms between captain's chair, leaning post and stern-facing bench for trolling. A spacious forward lounge conceals a large storage garage, while the deck layout includes ample rod storage, a transom livewell and a pump-out forward fishbox. Engine options range from a single 400-horsepower configuration to dual-engine packages with Joystick Piloting capability. Additional features include Digital Switching Technology for remote lighting and electronics control, optional MotorGuide trolling motor packages, Power Pole stability options, Seakeeper gyro-stabilization, an improved stereo system with RGB lighting, and a large swim platform with optional fold-out patio. Optional enhancements include windlass, beach boarding ladder and full windshield.
The 280 Dauntless is ideal for serious anglers and water enthusiasts who value functional design and reliable performance. Whether targeting inshore redfish or offshore snapper, this center console delivers the versatility to support a wide range of saltwater pursuits without compromising on seamanship or safety.
