Boston Whaler 240 Vantage: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Boston Whaler 240 Vantage is the latest iteration in the Vantage line, building upon the previous 230 model with enhancements driven by customer feedback. Designed as a versatile crossover boat, it caters to family outings, fishing excursions, and entertaining, combining functionality with thoughtful design improvements.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The aft cockpit serves as the central gathering area, measuring 6 feet 3 inches by 3 feet 6 inches, and features multiple seating options including a port-side chaise lounge, a helm seat that swivels to face aft, and a transom flip-out seat that stows easily. Fishing amenities are well integrated, with a 13-gallon live well in the stern, multiple rod holders throughout the boat including the optional hardtop, and a macerated fish locker positioned between the consoles. The cockpit also includes a versatile port-side seat that converts between an aft-facing chaise lounge, a sun pad, and a forward-facing chaise, with an optional built-in cooler beneath. A Corian countertop buffet with stainless steel drink holders enhances the entertaining space. The optional hardtop provides 7 feet 6 inches of tow point height and 6 feet 8 inches of headroom underneath, supported by integrated hull structures and equipped with grab rails and LED lighting. Additional features include pole-mounted sun shades, full enclosure capability, and bolsters ranging from 21 to 28 inches in height for comfort and safety.
Bow and Forward Features
Access to the bow is via a 21-inch wide walkthrough leading to wraparound seating with high 17-inch bolsters for safety. The bow area includes two lounges with recessed grab rails, inward-facing speakers integrated into lumbar areas, beverage holders, and stereo controls. A pedestal table with a simulated teak, rubberized non-skid surface can be lowered to convert the area into a sun pad, with storage beneath the seats. The bow has been reshaped from a squared-off to a pointed design, allowing space for a windlass and a four-step reboarding ladder on the starboard side. The anchor system features a through-stem roller, an eight-inch cleat, road storage, and remote control operation. Additional cleats and recessed navigation lights are positioned on both sides of the bow, complemented by a fresh water shower.
Mechanical and Operational Features
The stern includes a self-draining engine well and a service platform that allows easy access across the transom. The boat accommodates outboard engines ranging from 250 to 400 horsepower; the test model was equipped with a 350 horsepower Mercury Verado. Swim platforms flank the outboard with a starboard-side reboarding ladder and a fresh water shower near the entry gate, which swings inward and is secured by a magnetic catch. A large mechanical hatch in the cockpit provides centralized access to the fuel tank, house and engine start batteries, power steering pump, fuel filters, live well pickup, and bilge pump. The compartment is finished on both sides, gasketed, and supported by gas struts with secure latches. Battery switches and cleats are conveniently located near hose holes integrated into the cap rails. The boat features two two-inch deck drains on each side for efficient water shedding, along with raw water connectivity on the port side.
Helm and Controls
The helm console is positioned to starboard and includes a compass aligned with the helm, a 12-inch multifunction display, Fusion stereo system, and Mercury engine display. Two stainless steel beverage holders and a recessed storage area with drainage and connectivity are incorporated for convenience. The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base with controls for active trim and trim tabs located to the right, along with throttle and shift controls aligned with the armrest. Below the helm are cubbies with connectivity and footrests. The bucket-style helm seat features ventilation, a flip-up bolster, swivel, and slide functions. Opposite the helm is a 31-inch wide observer seat with drink holders, speaker, connectivity, and bolsters extending to the head door, complemented by a lengthy grab rail.
Dimensions and Performance
The Boston Whaler 240 Vantage measures 25 feet 6 inches overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 18 inches. The empty weight is 4,360 pounds, with a test weight of approximately 6,041 pounds including 61% fuel, three people, and test power. Powered by a single 350 horsepower Mercury Verado with a 14.5 by 17 inertia propeller, the boat reached a top speed of 47.7 miles per hour at 5,900 RPM. The optimal cruising speed was 26.9 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM, achieving a fuel burn of 10.7 gallons per hour and a range of 252 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from its 111-gallon capacity. Acceleration was brisk, with planing achieved in 3.9 seconds, 20 miles per hour reached in 7.7 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 12 seconds. The boat demonstrated excellent handling in calm water, absorbing wakes smoothly without pounding and executing precise turns without chine walk or sliding. The ride quality and solid construction impart a feeling of a larger vessel.
Conclusion
The Boston Whaler 240 Vantage successfully integrates spaciousness, functionality, and performance into a versatile crossover boat. Its thoughtful design accommodates family activities, fishing, and entertaining with ease, while maintaining the brand's reputation for solid handling and seaworthiness. The combination of upgraded features, ample storage, and reliable power options makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a well-rounded day boat.
