Overview
The Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless is the largest model in the Dauntless series, designed to accommodate a variety of activities including fishing, water sports, and family cruising. This versatile center console boat combines thoughtful design with robust performance, making it suitable for a wide range of boating pursuits.
Power and Performance
The 270 Dauntless offers power options ranging from twin Mercury 150 to 225 horsepower engines. The test model was equipped with twin 200 horsepower Mercury Verado outboards fitted with 19-inch inertia three-blade propellers. These engines are spaced seven inches apart and positioned 15 inches from the transom, allowing for sufficient tilt to raise the props out of the water. With an empty weight of 4,800 pounds and a test weight of 7,040 pounds including fuel and two passengers, the boat achieved a top speed of 50.7 miles per hour at 6,130 RPM. Fuel consumption at this speed was 39.2 gallons per hour, providing a range of approximately 175 miles. The most efficient cruise speed was 23.2 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, burning 8.5 gallons per hour and extending the range to 368 miles. A comfortable operating speed was found at 28.9 miles per hour and 4,000 RPM, with a slight increase in fuel burn and minimal impact on range. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 3.3 seconds and accelerating to 30 miles per hour in under 9 seconds. Handling is responsive and sporty, with a 10-degree lean in turns and a controlled slide that enables quick maneuvering. The hull design, featuring double lifting strakes and a reverse chine, effectively minimizes spray and cushions wave impacts, contributing to a smooth ride.
Helm and Operational Features
The helm area is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring a soft-touch dash over a gray non-glare panel. The steering wheel is a cast stainless steel three-spoke design with a urethane grip, mounted on a tilt base for ergonomic adjustment. Instrumentation includes three SmartKraft gauges arranged on a black sub-panel, with the compass strategically positioned directly in line with the helm for accurate navigation. The helm seat is double-wide with twin flip-up bolsters, allowing for both sitting and standing operation, and includes a practical armrest. Molded footrests and a dedicated fire extinguisher pocket enhance safety and comfort. The transom incorporates a small work platform that facilitates engine maintenance and daily checks by providing easy access to engine covers.
Exterior Features
The 270 Dauntless measures 27 feet 10 inches in length overall, with a beam of 9 feet and a draft of 17 inches. The optional hardtop provides effective shade and is equipped with rod holders and spreader lights, enhancing both fishing functionality and aesthetic appeal. The acrylic windshield offers wind protection around the helm, improving comfort during cruising. The boat’s forward-extending stem and hull design contribute to a cushioned re-entry over waves, maintaining buoyancy and stability in various sea conditions.
Conclusion
The Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless presents a well-rounded and versatile platform that meets the needs of both anglers and families. Its combination of thoughtful design, comfortable helm ergonomics, and strong performance characteristics make it a capable and enjoyable boat for diverse boating activities. The boat’s ability to transition seamlessly between fishing and recreational cruising underscores its appeal as a multi-purpose vessel.
