Boston Whaler has unveiled the newest member of its award-winning Vantage series: the all-new 240 Vantage.
Boston Whaler describe the new 240 Vantage as an incredibly versatile and customisable boat that they refer to as the ‘Swiss Army knife of boating. The 240 Vantage is well suited to a wide range of activities, including fishing, cruising, beaching, water sports, entertaining and more. Conversation-friendly seating can be found throughout the boat, from the plush bow lounge seats to the convenient foldaway aft seat. Across from the skipper, you’ll find Whaler’s innovative portside lounge seating, which converts to multiple positions: facing forward, facing aft, or laid flat to serve as the perfect napping spot.
Seating isn’t the only comfort-minded amenity: An optional fiberglass prep centre in the cockpit adds a handy place to prepare snacks, drinks or bait. The Vantage includes a standard enclosed head and sink, making long outings a little easier on everyone.
An array of features make the 240 Vantage a highly capable fishing vessel, as well. A large, insulated in-floor fishbox keeps catches fresh, while an optional livewell on the transom puts bait at your fingertips. Stainless steel rod holders are located strategically throughout the boat, and enclosed rod storage in the console is easily accessed through the bow.
The 240 Vantage features Whaler’s proprietary foam-injected hull, with power provided by  V8 Mercury Verado engine.
