“[This] model demonstrates our commitment to our customers to provide a spacious, smooth-riding and high-quality bay boat experience,” says Melanie Whaley, the company’s marketing director. “This boat isn’t referred to as ‘not your average bay boat’ for nothing when it comes to craftsmanship and comfort, allowing for better handling across rough inlets and confidence to go farther offshore.”
Powered by the standard single 200-hp four-stroke Mercury outboard engine, or the 225-hp option, many basic features you will find aboard the 220 Dauntless include a SmartCraft Deluxe gauge package, a stainless steel prop, VesselView mobile and hydraulic tilt steering.
Exciting optional features includes: A hardtop with dome light; life jacket storage; a watersports tow point; four rod holders; a stylish T-top; an aluminum-framed leaning post with flip-up bolsters and four integrated rod holders; a slide-out 75-quart Yeti cooler; and a reversible pilot seat. This represents just a few items you can add to this boat to make it a personal statement.
“The 220 Dauntless is easy to tow, offers spacious seating across both bow and stern, and is equipped with major storage, plus a 32-gallon livewell,” Whaley adds. “This boat has serious multitasking capabilities allowing for all-day fun whether you’re by yourself or with your family.”
The aptly named 220 Dauntless joins Boston Whaler’s “unsinkable” fleet of finely crafted boats with the kind of wide appeal that has made the company one of the true innovators in the industry.
