2023 Boston Whaler 280 Vantage

DEMO MODEL - AVAILABLE NOW

Boston Whaler's 280 Vantage is the dual-console that refuses to pick a lane — a genuine offshore hull underneath a layout built for family days on the water. This demo unit is loaded well past base: Summer Kitchen with electric grill and refrigerator, VacuFlush head with overboard discharge, Simrad Deluxe electronics, underwater lighting, and twin Mercury Verado 300 V8s in white. Hardtop, split bow rail, toe rail, beach boarding ladder and cockpit cover round out a boat that's ready for the season without a single item left on the wish list.

Finished in white hull with black graphics, white hardtop underside, white frame and black canvas. Available now at Bay Port Yachting Centre, Midland, ON.
