She feels taller on the water than her 6.7 metres suggest, and that is deliberate.
A higher freeboard than the model she replaced puts more hull between the crew and the sea, a real difference once the wind gets up offshore. The hull itself was reworked for this generation, trading a flatter bay boat profile for a sleeker running surface that still carries a planing deadrise comfortable at 30 knots and capable of 45. Trim tabs and a well mannered bow entry keep the ride settled rather than skittish, and the extra freeboard pays off exactly where it matters: standing at the rail in a chop, not just sitting at the helm in flat water.
The 220 Dauntless was redrawn, not just refreshed.
Boston Whaler’s in-house design team moved this generation away from a flatter bay boat look toward a sleeker, more purposeful profile, with a cleaner sheer and a bow that reads faster at rest than most boats her size. Flush gunwale rails can be raised for a classic Whaler silhouette or kept low for an open, sporty stance, letting one hull suit two different moods. The result is a boat that photographs like something larger, without adding an inch she does not need.
Forty-five knots is available. Thirty is where most owners will actually live.
The standard 200hp Mercury FourStroke gives the 220 Dauntless a comfortable 30 knot cruise, while the optional 250hp V8 opens the door to a 45 knot top end for owners who want the margin in reserve. A 322 litre fuel capacity underwrites a 200 nautical mile range, generous enough for a full day offshore and the run home with fuel to spare. She is quick off the mark and settles quickly too, the kind of performance that rewards a light hand on the throttle as much as a heavy one.
The deck does more work in a day than most owners will ever ask of it.
Smart jump seats fold away to open a full casting platform aft, a livewell option keeps bait alive through the afternoon, and a bow sun lounge with storage beneath turns the forward deck into a different boat entirely once the rods are stowed. A captain’s bench seat flips fore or aft over insulated storage, and the console hides a marine head with room enough to matter. Dual Raymarine displays, USB charging and 12 volt switching bring her electronics up to date, while an optional bow mounted trolling motor and Power Pole extend her reach into shallow water other 22 footers avoid.
At 6.7 metres, the 220 Dauntless sits exactly where Boston Whaler wants her: big enough to matter, small enough to own easily.
She carries eight guests by day, a 322 litre fuel tank, and a choice of 200 or 250hp Mercury FourStroke power depending on how much speed an owner actually needs. Boston Whaler’s engineering team builds every Dauntless on the unsinkable foundation the brand is known for, positive flotation included as standard rather than sold as an option. For a family moving up from a smaller centre console, or a first time owner who wants genuine versatility without stepping into a much larger boat, the 220 Dauntless is a considered, honest choice.
