MIAMI 2015: BOSTON WHALER 320 VANTAGE WINS 2015 INNOVATION AWARD

Miami Boat Show saw the debut of Boston Whaler's largest dual console to date

Boston Whaler’s new 320 Vantage left its mark on the Miami International Boat Show this week by winning a National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Innovation Award in the Deck Boats category.

What better way to be introduced to the market than receiving a prestigious award?

The 320 Vantage provides a remarkably soft, safe, dry ride, and smooth, predictable handling—key selling points for families with children and hardcore anglers alike.

It also improves the boating experience thanks to the cockpit utility center that offers enough room to feed a crowd with an electric grill, fridge, sink and the option of a complete fish prep station. Don’t lie, you can already see yourself laying out on the deck, right?

The boat will be the company’s largest dual console to date. With twin Mercury outboards and an open bow, this unsinkable vessel should be low maintenance, speedy and great for a crowd.
