2005 Boston Whaler 220 Dauntless – Mercury 225 Verado

This boat has been at our MarineMax marina since new, and the current owner has kept the boat dry stored. The engine was just fully serviced, including spark plugs, water pump impeller, fluids, and filters, so it is ready for its next owner to enjoy.

This 220 Dauntless presents a great opportunity for someone willing to put in a little TLC and make it their own. The boat runs well and has the solid ride Boston Whaler is known for, but cosmetically it could use some attention. The exterior cushions are showing age and would benefit from replacement, and the bottom paint is older and due for refresh.

With a bit of updating, this could be a fantastic all-around boat for inshore and nearshore use. Priced accordingly for its condition.

The 220 Dauntless is an ideal boat for anglers who want a capable fishing platform while still having the comfort and space for family cruising. Boston Whaler’s reputation for durability and resale value makes this a great long-term investment.
