Every member of your family and all of your friends will find the perfect onboard activity, from fishing to watersports, cruising and lounging. Anglers in your crew will love the standard raw-water washdown and fishbox with drain. An optional fishing package takes things up a notch when you head offshore, offering a 19-gallon lighted livewell, a fishing station, and stainless steel transom-mounted rod holders.

Power across the saltwater with the standard 150-hp dual Mercury FourStroke Verado engines and a 175-gallon fuel tank, and rest assured that the ride will be an absolute pleasure for your guests, thanks to an extensive bow seating area with lounge backrests. For those who like to entertain on a cruise, you'll be the host with the most. An optional summer kitchen comes with several luxury touches, such as a refrigerator, electric grill and tool holders.

Those who love to ski or wakeboard will have the time of their lives behind the 270 Vantage. Besides brawny power, the boat offers an optional watersports tower with wakeboard racks and tow bit that will take you to new heights; a Fusion stereo system lets you rock out no matter how far offshore you go. When the day is done, store your gear or rods in the lockable in-floor ski/rod storage compartment.

The incredible design of the new 270 Vantage will change your view on what fishing, watersports and cruising can be. Hop onboard, and you'll see why it's destined to be Boston Whaler's next big legend.

Boston Whaler 270 Vantage: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Boston Whaler 270 Vantage is a newly designed dual-console boat crafted to serve as a versatile, feature-rich family water sports vessel. Engineered from the hull up, this model aims to combine top-tier market capabilities with the ability to handle challenging big water conditions. It is part of Boston Whaler's Vantage series, emphasizing stability, comfort, and adaptability across various boating activities.

Hull Design and Performance

A standout feature of the 270 Vantage is its innovative hull design, which delivers a stable and comfortable ride at all speeds. During testing, the boat demonstrated exceptional handling, feeling firmly planted on the water with smooth, controlled turns free from chine digging or excessive bumps. The flat chine design effectively deflects spray low and wide, keeping the cockpit dry even in hard turns and gusty winds. The hull’s 20-degree deadrise at the transom, combined with a 9-foot beam and 20-inch draft, contributes to its confident ride in varying sea conditions. Powered by twin 225 horsepower Mercury Verado outboard engines with 14.5-inch diameter, 17-degree pitch inertia props, the boat achieved a top speed of 47.2 miles per hour at 5,960 RPM, burning 46.10 gallons per hour. Its best cruise speed was 30.9 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM with a fuel burn of 16.5 gallons per hour, yielding a range of approximately 294 miles. Acceleration was brisk, with a time to plane of 3.8 seconds and 0 to 30 miles per hour in 6.3 seconds. Notably, bow rise was minimal, maintaining clear forward visibility during acceleration.

Helm and Controls

The helm area is thoughtfully designed with a handsomely upholstered dash featuring three SmartKraft gauges positioned to port and ample space to starboard for a large chart plotter. The VHF radio is mounted high within the line of sight for ease of use. Controls include aircraft-style waterproof toggle switches and a polished stainless steel wheel that is padded, wrapped, adjustable, and ergonomically positioned for both seated and standing operation. Engine management is handled via fully digital Mercury SmartKraft two-station joystick controls (DTS), offering smooth, quiet shifting and acceleration. The single-lever mode was favored during testing, complemented by thumb switches for engine trim and additional features such as troll mode, sink mode, and dock mode. The helm seat is premium quality, featuring comfortable upholstery, a well-padded open back design, stainless fold-up armrests, a sturdy soft bolster, and full adjustability.

Deck and Exterior Features

The 270 Vantage’s deck layout includes a 28-inch high padded gunnel on the port side with integrated rod holders and a stainless hose pipe leading to an 8-inch cleat. Conveniently located are the shore power main switch, breaker, and water fill port. The boat is equipped with two self-bailing 2.5-inch scuppers on both sides for efficient drainage. The starboard side houses the main battery switch. A large centrally located hatch provides access to through-hole fittings, batteries, the fuel tank forward, and the automatic bilge pump aft. The hatch is secured with heavy-duty stainless gas-assist struts, a full rubber gasket, and robust stainless hardware, with a closed-mold finish on the interior matching the exterior quality. The transom features a 22-inch height and a door with a stainless deadbolt latch and magnetic keeper that opens inward within a molded track for safety. Additional exterior amenities include a waste water pump out, fueling port, and engines mounted 27 inches from the transom allowing complete trim-up out of the water. The optional hardtop is fitted with an easily accessible VHF antenna, anchor light, and wake tow point. At the bow, a non-skid foredeck with recessed 8-inch cleats, a large 19-inch anchor locker hatch, optional stainless 42-inch 4-step beach boarding ladder, and optional windlass with remote are present. A freshwater shower is conveniently located to starboard near the reboarding grab handle.

Conclusion

The Boston Whaler 270 Vantage impresses as a well-rounded, high-performance dual-console boat that excels in ride quality, handling, and versatility. Its innovative hull design provides a stable and dry ride, while the powerful twin Mercury Verado engines deliver strong acceleration and efficient cruising capabilities. The helm is ergonomically designed with advanced digital controls and premium seating, enhancing the driving experience. The deck layout and exterior features demonstrate thoughtful attention to functionality and safety. Overall, the 270 Vantage stands out as a capable and comfortable family water sports boat suitable for a variety of boating conditions.
