Boston Whaler 320 Vantage: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Boston Whaler 320 Vantage is a versatile and well-engineered center console boat measuring 33 feet 6 inches in length overall, with a beam of 10 feet 4 inches and a hull draft of 22 inches. The vessel's empty weight is 8,900 pounds, and with two people aboard and test equipment, the total test weight reached 13,358 pounds. Powered by twin 350 horsepower Mercury joystick outboards, the 320 Vantage offers a compelling blend of performance, handling, and operational features.
Power and Performance
Equipped with two 350 horsepower Mercury joystick outboards turning 14 5/8 by 17 rev 4 propellers, the 320 Vantage achieved a top speed of 49.1 miles per hour at 6,350 RPM during testing. At this speed, the fuel consumption was 60.3 gallons per hour, providing a range of approximately 201 miles. The boat's most efficient cruising speed was found at 5,000 RPM, where it reached 36.6 miles per hour while burning 28.8 gallons per hour, extending the range to 315 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The vessel planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 3.9 seconds and accelerating to 30 miles per hour in 9 seconds.
Handling and Ride Quality
Handling characteristics of the 320 Vantage are exemplary, consistent with Boston Whaler's reputation. The solid unibond hull construction contributes significantly to the boat's structural integrity and ride comfort, effectively absorbing impacts and eliminating pounding in choppy conditions. The wide bow and sharp entry points enable the boat to slice through waves like a catamaran, maintaining composure even in challenging offshore conditions. The inclusion of Lemco's dynamic running surface with large trim tabs ensures stable trim without the need for manual adjustments. Turns are smooth and controlled, with no propeller ventilation observed even under aggressive maneuvering. The boat's weight distribution minimizes bow rise during acceleration, preserving forward visibility, and it settles evenly when decelerating.
Helm and Operational Features
The helm is thoughtfully designed with a mechanically adjustable seat that slides and swivels, complemented by an electrically adjustable height feature that converts the seat into a leaning post. Comfort is enhanced by a flip-up bolster and flip-down armrests. Instrumentation includes Mercury VesselView displays positioned to the right of the helm, with toggle switches arrayed along the top of the panel. Mercury DTS digital throttle and shift controls are located to the side, with the optional joystick control positioned just behind. The joystick system is progressive, requiring a relaxed hand and gentle movements to maneuver the boat effectively, particularly useful in tight marina spaces. Battery switches are conveniently located behind the helm, with ignition controls separated for ease of use. The electrical panel is housed within cabin cupboards for accessibility.
Deck and Service Access
The cockpit deck features a large central hatch providing access to a dedicated mechanical room that houses pumps, through-hull fittings, seacocks, filters, and the generator, facilitating straightforward maintenance. The anchor locker is integrated with a re-boarding ladder within the same compartment, an elegant and practical design solution. The anchor rode is secured with a pin-mounted bracket instead of a traditional safety chain, and a cleat is positioned nearby for securing the rode, demonstrating attention to detail. The anchor runs through the stem, and a remote control is conveniently located adjacent to the locker. A service platform ahead of the outboards allows access to a large service hatch beneath, enhancing engine maintenance capabilities. Throughout the boat, 10-inch cleats are used, with pull-up cleats installed on deck for secure mooring.
Conclusion
The Boston Whaler 320 Vantage impresses as a well-rounded and enjoyable boat to operate. Its combination of solid construction, responsive handling, efficient powertrain, and thoughtful operational features make it a compelling choice for a wide range of boating activities. The vessel's design addresses both performance and practical maintenance considerations, underscoring Boston Whaler's commitment to quality and user experience. Overall, the 320 Vantage offers a rewarding experience on the water, balancing fun and functionality with ease of handling.
