Boston Whaler 250 - Boston Whaler FOR SALE

Pristine 2024 Boston Whaler 250 Dauntless, just 30 hours on a 300 hp Mercury outboard; dealer-serviced, indoor-kept, and outfitted with top-tier upgrades. A refined center console bay boat blending fishability, family dayboat comfort, and iconic Boston Whaler craftsmanship.

Overview

Boston Whaler’s most versatile model, the 250 Dauntless is a masterful synthesis of inshore fishing performance and premium offshore capability. Stretching 25 ft, this generously sized center console delivers a remarkably roomy layout with a double forward lounge and dual bow seating, while abundant storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout. Watersports, angling, and relaxed cruising are all catered to with equal finesse, and the iconic Whaler lines ensure enduring style that turns heads season after season.

This like-new example shows just 30 hours on its optional Mercury 300 hp V8 FourStroke and has been captain maintained throughout the summer, then protected in heated indoor storage last winter. Impeccably specified, it is outfitted with numerous desirable options including Simrad electronics and a JL Audio sound system, and further distinguished by the welcome convenience of a head and expansive storage areas onboard. It is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a nearly new Dauntless 250 at a substantial saving over the price of a factory-fresh build, as the owner has just taken delivery of another center console. Review the full specifications and photography to appreciate why this boat stands apart.

Deck/cockpit

On deck, confidence and convenience meet in every detail, beginning with 22" interior freeboard for added security at sea and eight-inch cleats fitted in all the right places—two at the bow, two aft, and two for spring lines. Low-profile welded stainless-steel rails at the bow and aft add assurance without interrupting the clean sheer, while a broad casting platform invites effortless angling. Thoughtful stainless-steel cup holders are exactly where you want them—four forward, two at the lounge, two at the console, and two at the aft seats—and robust lifting eyes simplify handling ashore. Stainless-steel rod holders are equally comprehensive, with four on the stern deck, two gunnel-mounted, and two at the bow, supporting every fishing style. An insulated 35-gallon livewell with a blue interior and a flush-mounted lid in the stern deck keeps bait lively, a heavy-duty rub rail defends against docks, and the self-bailing cockpit sole partners with a swim platform featuring a telescoping ladder to make water access and washdowns effortless.

Console

At the helm, an acrylic windshield shelters a beautifully executed command center anchored by a cast stainless-steel steering wheel with a palm-satisfying knob. The console face is finished in a sophisticated tan gelcoat and integrates a compass for precise course keeping, flanked by two drink holders for easy hydration. An electrical switch panel with circuit breaker protection keeps systems tidy and reliable, while the electronics mounting surface is purpose-designed to accept a 12" Simrad display. Below, the removable portable head with pump-out pairs convenience with privacy, enhanced by an interior LED light and the modern practicality of a wireless phone charger.

Seating

Comfort takes many forms aboard the 250 Dauntless, beginning with a forward bow sun pad whose port and starboard backrests fold to create either chaise-style lounging or open deck space at a moment’s notice. A forward console lounge with supportive armrests invites long, relaxed passages, with two drink holders ensuring refreshments are always to hand. At the helm, a reversible pilot seat with a locking backrest adapts quickly for driving, observing, or casting, and it conceals an integrated cooler beneath to keep provisions perfectly chilled. Aft, port and starboard stern seats with folding backrests transform the cockpit from fishing duty to family-friendly cruising in seconds.

Storage

Storage solutions aboard are both generous and smartly protected. A combined bow and anchor locker features an overboard drain and a stainless-steel gas shock that holds the lid open securely, making anchoring crisp and effortless. Forward, a fishbox/storage compartment with its own overboard drain keeps the deck dry while swallowing gear or today’s catch. The lockable console front storage holds multiple rods, buckets, and gear with reassuring security, ensuring everything has its place and stays shipshape underway.

Mechanical

Performance and reliability are assured by the optional Mercury 300 hp V8 FourStroke showing only 30 hours, delivering confident thrust and quiet refinement. Hydraulic power steering and tilt steering make handling light and precise, while a stainless propeller translates horsepower into clean bite and efficient speed. A 90-gallon fuel tank underpins generous range, and an automatic bilge pump stands vigilant to keep the bilge dry. Electrical integrity is enhanced by dual battery trays with a switch and an automatic charging relay for house bank charging, complemented by an electric horn, a fuel/water separator, and full navigation lights for safety in all conditions.

Electrical

Integrated electronics elevate every outing, with a Simrad VHF for crisp communications and a Simrad chartplotter providing intuitive navigation and fishfinding capability. Lenco trim tabs refine running attitude at the touch of a switch, and a JL Audio sound system fills the cockpit with rich, detailed acoustics. Engine data is presented clearly via an analog and a digital engine gauge, ensuring instant awareness of vital information.

Hull and deck

A striking Light Blue gelcoat hull sets the tone, complemented by a matching Light Blue gelcoat under the T-Top that ties the profile together with a custom-caliber flourish. The deck and console are finished in a light cream gelcoat, creating a refined, sun-friendly contrast that stays cool underfoot and looks immaculate from every angle.

Additional equipment

Ready for immediate enjoyment, the boat is supplied with essential gear including lifejackets, dock lines, fenders, and a fire extinguisher—everything you need to cast off with confidence from day one.
