2009 Boston Whaler 280 Outrage Video Tours
Boattest.com Review
Overview
The Boston Whaler 280 Outrage is a completely redesigned 28-foot center console boat engineered for enhanced performance and handling. With a beam of 9 feet 4 inches and a shallow draft of 22 inches, this model emphasizes agility and safety, retaining Whaler’s hallmark unsinkable construction and high freeboard. The design improvements focus on hull configuration and operational ergonomics, aiming to deliver a refined boating experience both on and off the water.
Power and Performance
Powered in the test configuration by twin 300 horsepower Mercury Verado 6-cylinder engines equipped with 20-inch pitch Rev4 props, the 280 Outrage demonstrated impressive speed and efficiency. The boat reached a top speed of 49.6 knots at 6,300 RPM, consuming 60 gallons per hour, which translates to a range of approximately 138 nautical miles. Optimal fuel economy was achieved at 3,500 RPM, cruising at 25.5 knots with a reduced fuel burn of 17.4 gallons per hour and an extended range of 245 nautical miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The hull’s new running pad design contributed to quick planing times, averaging 4.1 seconds to plane, 5.3 seconds to reach 20 knots, and 8.5 seconds to hit 30 knots. The boat handled well in various sea conditions, showing sensitivity to trim adjustments and maintaining composure in beam and following seas. Steering remained responsive and precise, with the propulsion system maintaining consistent bite during maneuvers.
Helm and Operational Features
The helm station is thoughtfully arranged with a clear and functional layout typical of Boston Whaler’s design philosophy. A pair of 12-inch Raymarine displays flank the Precision Pilot Controller featuring Skyhook and Heading Hold functions, with a Vessel View 7 engine display positioned below. Controls for the remote spotlight, start-stop buttons, Lenco trim tabs with LED indicators, DTS controls, and the outboard piloting joystick are ergonomically placed for ease of use. The helm seating includes adjustable captain and observer seats with flip-down bolsters and armrests, enhancing comfort during extended operation. A unique reflective glove storage compartment doubles as a rear-view mirror, improving situational awareness. Visibility is excellent through three sides of tempered glass, complemented by a powered vent in the forward windshield. Additional ergonomic touches include a footrest for seated operation and a recessed area for standing.
Deck and Exterior Features
The cockpit deck features a centrally located mechanical compartment housing pumps, through-hull fittings, filters, and batteries, all designed for easy access and maintenance. Battery switches are conveniently positioned in the starboard quarter. The boat is equipped with multiple pull-up cleats—two at the stern, two midship, and others distributed throughout the vessel—facilitating secure mooring. A walk-around platform ahead of the engine well allows unobstructed movement from bow to stern, and the outboards can tilt fully clear of the water. The bow area includes a non-skid hatch covering a recessed anchor windlass managing both chain and rope rode, with adjacent space for rode management and a cleat for securing the line. The anchor is deployed through the stem, controlled by a remote located nearby.
Conclusion
The Boston Whaler 280 Outrage exhibits significant advancements in hull design and operational ergonomics that translate into improved handling, performance, and user experience. Its combination of powerful propulsion, quick planing, responsive steering, and thoughtful helm layout make it a versatile and capable boat for a variety of conditions. The high freeboard and unsinkable construction maintain Whaler’s reputation for safety, while joystick piloting simplifies close-quarters maneuvering. Overall, the 280 Outrage is a well-rounded vessel that meets the demands of both recreational and serious anglers with confidence and style.
