Boston Whaler 210 Dauntless Boat Review

Boston Whaler 210 Dauntless Boats

Small, Functional, and fun

If you are looking for a boat which is not too short to have a crew in but not too large as to cause hauling and navigation issues, then a 20 foot craft is about the right size. The Boston Whaler 210 Dauntless is a center console craft which offers fun and functionality for anglers as well as the family. It is not a luxury craft, nor is it a cheap boats but a mid-level option.

Chief use of the Boat Whaler 210 Dauntless

The Boston Whaler 210 Dauntless is intended for on water outings, specifically designed for the active family and serious angler. That being stated, it is not designed for cruising and leisure. It is more equipped for water sports or fishing. The seating on the bow does have a wraparound design which can have lift up forward facing, and there is a flip up bar seat on the transom. However, when you consider the length of the boat and the size of the adults, their gear, rods, and such, the 8-person max capacity may be pushing the envelope a bit. It is more suited to the 4 to 6 passenger range.

As the boat is small and is powered by a singular Mercury 200 XL L4 DTS Black Verado FourStroke engine, it is not recommended for taking on heavy waves. When the Gulf is calm you can, of course, go further out. If you wish to customize the engine, there is the option for a 150 XL EFI Black Mercury FourStroke engine or a 200 XL L6 DTS Black Mercury Verado FourStroke engine with power steering and fuel/water separator. This may give you a bit more power and navigation for areas such as Tampa Bay or Lake Okeechobee. Inshore cruising along the Atlantic Ocean coast and sports would also be appropriate with certain engines.

Walkaround design

The center console design of the 210 Boston Whaler Dauntless boats for sale allow for a walk around design. This means that there is room on the port and the starboard for passengers to pass by the captain while the boat is operating (though not recommended as the captain needs to see where he or she is going). Gunwales wrap around the boat allowing the serious angler complete access to the water rather safely.
