2006 Boston Whaler Dauntless 180 The Boston Whaler 18 Dauntless is the largest in its class comes powered with a Mercury 150 Verado with digital Mercury Smart Craft Gauges. Comes with Bimini Top, Quest VHF Radio, Navman Fish Tracker 6600 Electronics, Single axle aluminum trailer It has a slightly shallower V-hull design than the company's Outrage Series, making it easier to negotiate shallow water. Designed for lake and bay boating, the 18 Dauntless demonstrates enhanced stability over deeper V designs. The versatile layout also provides a secure platform for fishing or other watersport activities like wakeboarding or waterskiing. Standard seating features a reversible pilot seat with storage below. There's a standard integrated livewell to port with battery and oil storage to starboard. Options include two pedestal fishing seats, helm and passenger pedestal seats, trolling motor panel and a full width stern seat with locking ski or equipment storage inside. The center console layout, a Boston Whaler innovation, raised eyebrows back in 1961. By moving the helm from the starboard side to the center of the craft, boaters got better steering control and an even keel. With more room to move around, they got better fish-fighting capabilities. Now, countless manufacturers use this layout for their fishing boats. In 1996, Boston Whaler introduced the Accutrack hull. This system combines the smooth ride of a deep-V design with the dry ride provided by strategically placed chines. A Boston Whaler has a distinct style. The distinctive Whaler 'smirk' - a reverse chine and forward spray rail - catches spray and redirects it beneath the hull. In a following sea, it pushes the bow up for better steerage and improved safety. Thoughtful layouts put amenities such as prep stations and controls within easy reach. Seats can handle hundreds of pounds in static loads. Coaming pads are scaled to catch people above the knees. Helms have unobstructed views. And fishing areas provide optimum freedom of movement. Boston Whaler's Unibond construction starts with steel-reinforced hull molds to ensure consistency. Gel coat is sprayed into the mold to create what will be the hull's exterior, a skin coat of fiberglass is applied, varying biaxial and biaxial fiberglass sheets are coated with resin and hand-rolled into place. The deck mold is lowered into the hull mold and the two are latched together to form a closed mold system. Liquid structural foam fills the cavity between the hull and deck. The access plate is secured, and the foam bonds permanently to the resin and fiberglass. No screws, rivets or adhesives are necessary since the hull and deck form a single unit. Boston Whaler offers a 10-year limited transferable hull warranty.
