Overview
The Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless is a versatile vessel designed to accommodate a variety of activities including fishing, water sports, and family cruising on bays, lakes, and other protected waters. This model introduces several updates such as a change in cushion color from gray to tan and a matching tan dashboard collar, enhancing its aesthetic appeal while maintaining its functional design.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The boat features an aft bench seat that comfortably accommodates three people, positioned close to the leaning post to provide both comfort and security with side rails. Storage compartments beneath the seats are easily accessible with one hand, and the batteries are housed under the storage deck. Entry from the swim platform includes a freshwater shower connected to an 18-gallon tank, allowing occupants to rinse off before boarding. The bow area is designed as a comfortable gathering space with wraparound seating and a double-wide chaise lounge. Optional features include a bow table with dedicated storage, converting the area into an alfresco dining spot, and side seats that transform into forward-facing chaise lounges. The forward seats also serve as a casting deck, with an available filler platform for a pedestal fishing seat. The bow seats provide insulated, self-draining storage suitable for fish boxes.
Interior and Console Amenities
The console houses a head compartment on the starboard side, equipped with a standard porta-potty with pump-out, an opening port light for ventilation, and 5 feet 3 inches of headroom. This compartment also contains the 12-volt circuit breakers and battery switch, secured by a lockable access panel to deter theft. Forward of the console is an anchor locker with an optional concealed four-step beach reboarding ladder. Under the front console seat, there is storage for five fishing rods, two included five-gallon buckets, and ample space for additional gear. Optional dive tank racks are also available, all within a lockable compartment.
Fishing and Utility Features
The 270 Dauntless is well-equipped for fishing enthusiasts, featuring a non-skid casting deck across the stern with five rod holders positioned just behind. The standard leaning post includes a cooler and storage, while the optional deluxe leaning post upgrades to include two rod holders, a 30-gallon live well, a raw water washdown, and a sink with a freshwater pull-out sprayer. The live well control valve is conveniently located on the starboard side. Additional options include a raw water washdown system for cleaning after fishing excursions.
Hard Top and Safety Equipment
An optional fiberglass hard top enhances the boat’s appearance and functionality, equipped with four rocket launchers, LED spreader lights, molded-in mounting points for a radar antenna, and provisions for a pair of outriggers. Safety features include a one-piece molded deck liner designed for easy hose-off cleaning, dual 2-inch deck drains on either side of the aft cockpit, and a fire extinguisher mounted near the captain’s feet. Courtesy lighting is thoughtfully placed throughout the boat, and robust rails run along the 21-inch wide side decks. Rail heights increase from 26 inches at the bow to 34 inches at the stern, providing secure handholds and added safety for passengers, especially children.
Conclusion
The Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless offers a well-rounded package that balances fishing capabilities with family-friendly cruising amenities. Its thoughtful design, versatile storage options, and safety features make it suitable for a wide range of recreational boating activities.
