Boston Whaler 220 Dauntles: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Boston Whaler 220 Dauntless represents the latest evolution in a longstanding and popular lineup from the builder. Designed with input from customers, this model integrates smart amenities that cater to a wide range of activities including fishing, water sports, and cruising. The boat balances versatility and functionality, making it suitable for both family outings and serious offshore excursions.

Exterior Design and Cockpit Features

Starting at the stern, the 220 Dauntless features a self-bailing cockpit with large drains positioned under the aft seats that discharge directly overboard, avoiding bilge accumulation. The cockpit seating includes flip-up jump seats with ergonomic padding, accompanied by beverage holders and three flush-mounted rod holders, part of a total of eleven on board. When folded down, these seats create a flush casting deck free of trip hazards. The test boat was equipped with an optional power pole mounted on the port stern. The decks remain flush out to the reboarding platforms, with a starboard hatch providing access to the reboarding ladder, designed to angle away from the outboard motor’s sharp edges. Additional features include a freshwater shower with a pull-out wand located beneath the rod holders at the transom, long grab rails along the outboard sides and inside the gunnels, and optional raised rails that can surround the boat. The cockpit depth measures a safe 22 inches, increasing to 25 inches moving forward.

Seating and Storage

Forward of the cockpit seating is a flip seatback with an optional livewell installed underneath the cushion. Without the livewell, this space serves as a self-draining insulated storage compartment suitable as a cooler. Additional rod holders are positioned in the aft corners. The console is accessed via a starboard side door, which is widened for easier entry and held open by tension hinges. Inside the console are storage spaces for trolling motor batteries, a port-a-potty, and the ignition is mounted on the aft bulkhead. A charging plug is conveniently located on the port side of the console.

Bow Layout and Amenities

The bow is accessed through a 17-inch wide walkthrough on either side of the console, leading to a double-wide lounge that is likely the largest in its class. This lounge includes stainless steel and padded flip-down armrests, preferred over flip-up styles for ease of use, with beverage holders positioned just beneath. Underneath the lounge is self-draining storage capable of accommodating 7-foot rods and additional gear, with hatch support struts finished on the underside. The bow also features a large sun pad with 6-inch combing, measuring 43 inches fore and aft and 62 inches wide at the aft end. The cushions can be removed to create a casting deck elevated 14 inches above the main deck. Two hatches are located here: a forward anchor locker with a deck notch for the rode, and a large insulated, self-draining storage compartment aft. Both hatches are finished on both sides and supported by gas struts. Additional amenities include stereo speakers, flush-mounted rod holders, and beverage holders integrated into the one-inch thick rail within molded recesses. An optional MotorGuide X5 trolling motor is mounted forward.

Helm and Operational Features

The helm is equipped with a 250-horsepower Mercury outboard engine mounted in a contoured engine well that allows the motor to tilt fully out of the water. Six 8-inch cleats, including midship cleats, are installed for secure mooring. The helm console features a padded surface with USB and 12-volt connectivity plugs. Instrumentation includes dual 9-inch displays flanking a VesselView display and a Fusion stereo system, with rocker switches and a VHF radio located beneath. The stainless steel steering wheel includes a steering knob and is mounted on a tilt base. Trim tab controls are positioned next to the throttle, and the helm area includes two footrests and a recessed space for standing comfort. Visibility is provided through an acrylic windscreen with no distortion. The helm seat is the same flip-back style discussed earlier, adjustable to four positions. Overhead, a canvas T-top is supported by powder-coated framing, featuring LED lighting, PFD storage, and rigging for outriggers. Integrated grab handles and four additional rod holders are mounted along the trailing edge, with a central tow point.

Performance and Handling

The Boston Whaler 220 Dauntless measures 23 feet 4 inches overall, with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 15 inches. Powered by a single 250-horsepower Mercury XL V8 engine turning a 14.5x17 inertia propeller, the boat achieved a top speed of 47 miles per hour at 5,600 RPM during testing. Its best cruise speed was 25.7 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, where it consumed 6.9 gallons per hour, translating to 3.8 miles per gallon and a range of approximately 270 statute miles. These figures were recorded on a windy day with light chop. Boston Whaler reports a top speed of 50 miles per hour at 5,960 RPM with a 10% fuel reserve from the 80-gallon total capacity. The boat planes quickly, reaching plane in 2.2 seconds, 20 mph in 3.7 seconds, and 30 mph in 5.5 seconds. Handling is smooth and comfortable, with no pounding even at top speed. When crossing wakes at slow speeds, the boat parts waves cleanly, minimizing spray for a dry ride. Turns exhibit minimal chine walk and a controlled slide for comfort. Engine trim affects performance in turns, with lowered trim providing consistent grip and approximately five clicks of trim adjustment restoring optimal running angle.

Conclusion

The Boston Whaler 220 Dauntless exemplifies the builder's commitment to quality and ergonomic design, integrating numerous features without compromising usability. Its versatility allows seamless transition from family day trips to offshore fishing adventures. The boat’s thoughtful layout, robust performance, and attention to detail make it a comprehensive package that meets the diverse needs of recreational boaters.
