Experience the pinnacle of offshore performance and luxury with this stunning 2023 Boston Whaler 280 Vantage. Measuring 29'1" in length with a 9'6" beam and a 175-gallon fuel capacity, this boat is built to take you farther in comfort and confidence.
Power comes from twin Mercury 300HP V8 outboards in white, with only 105 hours of use - barely broken in and ready for many seasons ahead. The factory-installed Dual Joystick Piloting System makes docking and maneuvering a breeze, even in tight quarters.
The options list on this vessel is extensive and thoughtfully chosen. The Platinum Gelcoat finish on both the hull sides and hardtop underside gives her a sleek, head-turning appearance, complemented by Chrome Graphics, a Black Frame, and a White Rubrail with Stainless Steel Insert. A Black Canvas package and Weather Curtain keep the cockpit protected and looking sharp in any conditions.
Below and aboard, comfort is paramount. The head compartment features a Vacu-Flush system with pumpout and overboard discharge, along with a Head Storage Shelf and Corian Countertop. A Cockpit Refrigerator, Cockpit Table, Bow Table with Filler, and Cockpit Cover round out the entertaining essentials.
For the serious angler or boater, this Whaler comes equipped with Hardtop Rod Holders (5), Rod Storage, a Stainless Steel Anchor, and a Raw Water Washdown. Navigation and communication are covered by the Simrad Deluxe Electronics Package and a Simrad VHF Radio. The Battery Charging System ensures you're always ready to go.
This is a turn-key, fully loaded 280 Vantage with low hours - don't miss your opportunity to own one of Boston Whaler's most capable and versatile center consoles. Contact us today for more information or to schedule a showing.
