Research Boston Whaler Boats

Loaded with innovation, the 2009 280 Outrage® leads the new generation of Outrages that have been completely redesigned for superior performance, fishability and comfort. The first difference you’ll notice is a new approach to the center console (from the people who invented the center console in the first place). The console nests into a standard integrated hardtop / windshield system that provides excellent protection from the elements and snag-free maneuvering around the boat. The all-new hull delivers outstanding performance, and its wide beam provides tremendous spaciousness plus a superior layout for more storage and deck space. Of course, it’s a full-bore fishing machine, teeming with features like a deluxe bait prep center, tackle storage and new, optional fold-down trolling seats.
