Boston Whaler 210 Dauntless: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Boston Whaler 210 Dauntless is recognized for its versatility, making it a popular choice within the Boston Whaler lineup. This model features several updates, including a change in cushion colors from gray to tan and a matching tan dashboard. Designed to accommodate both family outings and fishing activities, the 210 Dauntless balances comfort, safety, and performance in a compact 20-foot package.

Exterior Design and Family Features

The boat offers ample seating arrangements, including a forward-facing seat ahead of the console and generous bow seating that converts into a comfortable sun pad. A triple-wide bench seat at the stern is supported by gas-assist struts and conceals storage compartments accessible with one hand. The helm seat is reversible, allowing occupants to face aft and monitor swimmers. Additional family-oriented features include a head compartment within the console equipped with a standard port-a-potty and 4 feet, 6 inches of headroom, with a door secured by a magnetic catch. Safety is emphasized through 24-inch high bow rails, 21-inch cockpit depth, and offset stainless steel reboarding ladder designed to avoid the outboard. The boat’s unsinkable reputation is supported by a hull injected with closed-cell foam, providing both tactile and audible confirmation of its buoyancy.

Construction Quality and Safety

The 210 Dauntless showcases high-quality construction with stainless steel welded rails and cleats that are recessed and mounted at an angle into the cap rails. These cleats are reinforced with whaleboard, a composite material that offers three times the strength of typical aluminum backing plates. The T-top features S-shaped supports that integrate seamlessly with the molded console sides, reflecting attention to both durability and aesthetics.

Fishing Features

Fishing amenities are well integrated, beginning with an elevated casting deck at the bow that includes two insulated, self-draining compartments suitable as fish lockers. A 15-gallon aerated live well with a blue interior and rounded edges is positioned just ahead of the console. Rod storage is abundant, with three vertical rod holders flanking the forward console seat, four rod holders across the transom, four on the back of the T-top, and six on the forward end of the console, totaling fourteen rod holders. The helm seat conceals a 54-quart pull-out cooler, which can be optionally replaced with a 25-gallon live well. The design also accommodates an optional ski-toe pylon or an all-activity tower equipped with elevated tow points and wakeboard racks.

Helm Layout and Ergonomics

The helm is thoughtfully arranged with a vinyl top in an off-color finish to reduce glare and ample space for electronic equipment. Rocker switches are grouped for ease of use, complemented by two SmartKraft gauges. The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base, and the engine control is ergonomically positioned. A molded footrest and adjustable helm seat enhance comfort, allowing the operator to drive comfortably from various positions.

Power and Performance

The 210 Dauntless measures 20 feet, 6 inches in length overall, with an 8-foot, 6-inch beam and a 14-inch draft. It has an empty weight of 2,600 pounds, with a test weight of approximately 3,800 pounds including 60% fuel, test power, and two people aboard. Powered by a 200-horsepower Mercury L4 engine, the boat achieved a top speed of 46.2 miles per hour at 6,230 RPM, consuming 19.9 gallons per hour and providing a range of 157 miles. Optimal fuel economy was recorded at 4,000 RPM and 26.7 miles per hour, with a fuel burn of 6 gallons per hour and an extended range of 303 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The boat planes in 3.3 seconds, reaches 20 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 8.2 seconds. Acceleration causes minimal bow rise and no wandering. The vessel exhibits a comfortable 10-degree roll into turns without adverse tendencies, maintaining speed effectively through banking maneuvers. Propeller ventilation was not observed during testing. The hull provides a solid, stable ride with smooth wave re-entry and no pounding, marking it as one of the best-handling boats tested.

Conclusion

The Boston Whaler 210 Dauntless delivers a seamless blend of family-friendly features and fishing functionality, supported by quality construction and excellent handling characteristics. Its unsinkable hull, thoughtful safety features, and versatile design make it a reliable choice for a variety of boating activities. The only suggested enhancement would be the addition of removable chains between sections of the side rails for added security. Overall, the 210 Dauntless stands out as a well-rounded, high-performing boat that satisfies both recreational and angling needs.
