2013 Boston Whaler 250 Outrage

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how much deck space you have to actually move, rig, and fight fish without dancing around coolers. The wide walkaround bow and recessed grab rails make it easy to work the front of the boat in a swell, while the high gunnels keep everyone feeling secure. At the helm, the thick windshield and sturdy hardtop frame give you a solid, protected driving position, not a flexy T-top. The leaning post is a true work station with tackle storage and room for a cooler underneath, so your gear stays organized instead of scattered. Even the aft bench tucks away cleanly, opening up the cockpit when it’s time to get serious.

The 250 Outrage shines in local waters where conditions can turn from flat to lumpy quickly. Its deep-V hull and serious bow flare punch through afternoon chop and boat wakes, keeping spray down and the ride solid when you’re running between nearshore reefs and farther-off structure. The size is a sweet spot: big enough to feel confident when the wind picks up, yet still easy to trailer, slip, or dry stack. With generous freeboard and wide side decks, it’s comfortable for kids and guests when you’re sandbar-hopping, but the layout instantly converts back to a serious platform when the bite turns on.
