2017 Boston Whaler 170 Dauntless

Dauntless 170 - Comes With Trailer - Turnkey and With Removeable Prop Protector to Keep Kids and Swimmers Safe

For 55 years, Whaler has been coveting attention for its virtually unsinkable foam-filled skiffs, center consoles, walkarounds and dual-console boats with single, twin and triple outboard setups. 

Whaler doesn’t do things half way with any of their boats and it hassn’t skimped on quality here either.  That strategy has earned the brand a legion of loyal followers and made Boston Whaler an over achiever because in short, there’s nothing quite like a Whaler and buyers know it.

While the smallest Whaler in the all-purpose Dauntless range, the 170 really punches above its weight - with such great handling, stability at rest, and with the high rails, you always feel in control. 

For the family, there are clever pop-up quarter seats in the transom corners, the helm bench has a three-position flip-over backrest so you can face those seats, and there’s a drop-in cockpit table upon which to lunch. An overhead bimini grants shade, while a single swim step and ladder aids access to the water.  At the same time, high rails trace the boat to act as useful handholds while also increasing internal freeboard. Moving about the boat is a breeze.

For fishing the quarter seats flip neatly away to create an aft casting platform, the lunch table stows, the bimini rests in a boot , while the helm backrests fold back to the driving position. Then you remove the sunpad cushion up front over the casting platform.

A better boat of its size is hard to imagine and this is why they are in demand regardless of vintage.  Call to make an appointment to see your next boat.
