DESIGNED BY FEEDBACK Boston Whaler refined the 240 Vantage using owner feedback from the 230. The result is a dual-console layout aimed at family entertaining and watersports, fishing, and day cruising without locking into a single mission.

In this Len’s Cove video, Sean explains how tariffs on materials and components are pushing 2026 model prices up by about 3 to 4 percent, even without direct boat import tariffs.
