Heritage, Safety, and Unsinkability

Every 210 Vantage begins with Boston Whaler's legendary Unibond hull construction, foam-filled fiberglass that is effectively unsinkable. This classic Whaler design ensures that even in worst-case scenarios the boat stays afloat. This safety foundation underpins all operations, giving owners the confidence to handle coastal waters, offshore excursions, or family outings with peace of mind.

Dimensions and Capacities

Length overall is 21 feet 3 inches from bow to engine mount, extending to 22 feet 8 inches including swim platforms. Beam measures a spacious 8 feet 6 inches, supporting a stable ride and roomy walkarounds. The dry weight of the hull alone is approximately 3,810 pounds, growing to around 4,880 pounds when fitted with engine, fuel, water, and options. The boat accommodates up to nine people or a combined weight of 2,490 pounds. A generous 80-gallon fuel tank and 10-gallon freshwater capacity make this a true day boat with endurance. The standard draft is 18 inches, ideal for coastal cruising and shallow-water exploration. All told, the 210 Vantage is generously sized, yet trailerable and storage-friendly with its 28-foot overall length on trailer and 8-foot 6-inch width.

Power, Performance, and Handling

Power choices range from 200 to 250 horsepower, with 250-hp Mercury V8 as top-end. Standard is a 150-horsepower model, but Whaler dealers typically showcase the 200 or 225 options to highlight performance versatility. At 250 hp, the 210 Vantage reaches over 50 mph at wide-open throttle, with quick transitions to planing in around five seconds and time to reach 30 mph in under 7. MD test data shows the 250-hp variant achieved 54.7 mph at peak, while 225 hp hit 45.6 mph, and 200 hp topped out near 41.8 mph. The V6 and V8 motors offer MerCruiser Digital Throttle & Shift, hydraulic steering, and advanced gauge displays.

At 3,250 rpm, the boat cruises near 27 knots using about 13.3 gallons per hour, offering a theoretical range exceeding 300 miles thanks to the 80-gallon tank. The hull maintains a dry ride through chop, thanks to its 20-degree transom deadrise and refined entry. Handling is sharp yet benign, with predictable responsiveness and confidence-inspiring tracking.

Dual Console for Comfort and Versatility

The Vantage is a dual-console design built for social boating and angling. A stylish wraparound tempered-glass windshield provides protection from wind and spray. The starboard helm console includes a raised helm seating platform with optional flip-up bolster, stainless steel steering wheel, space for electronics, USB/12V charging, and integrated switch logic. Gauges and vessel view displays are neatly mounted.

The port console includes a lockable compartment for an optional portable head. Both consoles include interior lighting for convenience. A fiberglass hardtop may be added for sun and rain protection, with integrated lighting and grab rails.

Cockpit depth of 26 inches ensures security for passengers. Covering aft seating are twin folding backrests on a shared walk-through transom. The adjustable flip-up backrests convert the area into a casting platform. Drop-in cushions and cup holders make entertaining easy.

A long optional port lounge adds comfort and convenience. This lounge has dual-function flip-down backrest, under-seat storage, and optionally an 18-gallon insulated cooler. It converts between forward and aft-facing seats, perfect for kids and gear.

Bow seating is plush and generous, including inboard-backrest lounge seats port and starboard, and bolsters. Drink holders and fiberglass lockers under seating double as gear stowage or fishboxes. An anchor locker with drain is standard, allowing neat management of anchor line.

Fishing-Capable Design

Angling features are extensive. Kid of rod holders include two in-gunnel behind gunwale, three on transom box, and optional leaning post attachments. The optional fishing package adds a 94-quart cooler seat with backrest, integrated tackle drawers, raw water washdown, and extra rod holders. The stern casting platform provides a clean, stable fishing deck once seat backs are flipped forward.

Cockpit sole is self-bailing, and outlets at the transom help with cleaning. Motorwell drains allow splash to escape, while stainless grab rails offer extra security. Under-foredeck space is accessible for oversized items, making the boat ready for long rods or long days.

Comfort, Storage, and Entertainment

Designed for full-day use, the 210 includes numerous creature comforts. A fold-down transom ladder makes swimmer or paddleboard return easy. The optional teak package applies boarding steps and swim ladder, adding warmth and style.

Comfort seating and bolsters in bow, helm, and stern ensure space is never wasted. Drink holders are positioned throughout the cockpit. LED courtesy lights aid evening operations.

Storage includes starboard console locker, port console head access, port lounge storage, bow lockers with drains, and aft compartments for batteries, pumps, or safety gear. Stainless latches and drain valves make maintenance easy.

The boat also includes dual battery trays with an automatic charging relay, automatic bilge pump, trim tabs, electric horn, navigation lights, and Vessel View Mobile diagnostics.

Electronics and Audio

The dash hosts an electronics mounting surface to suit 9- or 12-inch Garmin. C-Map charts, Active Imaging sonar, CHIRP, side-scan, and down-scan are supported.

Stereo upgrades include JL Audio MM50 with four waterproof speakers, MP3/USB/Bluetooth. Audio wiring, amp location, and coax are factory-installed.

Trailering and Storage

The galvanized dual-axle trailer with disc brakes, swing tongue, LED lighting, radial tires, and spare can be pulled by trucks or SUVs. Length on trailer is 28 feet 10 inches, width 8 feet 6 inches, and total height 7 feet 11 inches. Trailer fits most standard garage doors with tongue removed.

Launch and retrieval are straightforward. Boat weight with engine is under 5,000 pounds, so most capable mid-size SUVs or light trucks can tow it safely. It's a secure, self-contained transport system built into the package.
