Boston Whaler, which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary recently introduced the 230 Dauntless. This latest in the Dauntless series follows the same styling as the 200 Dauntless introduced last year. Designed for multi-purpose versatility, the 230 offers a full-width aft casting deck that converts to a wide bench seat. You can also stow wakeboards as well as fishing rods in this area. The bow seating provides a wide and expansive foredeck when backrests are not in use. The area converts to wide and comfortable lounges. The company has done a fine job of creating a center console hybrid that will be equally at home fishing or as a watersport platform. Look for a complete test soon. The base price of the 230 is $45,800 with a 225 hp Mercury Verado. For more information log onto www.whaler.com.
