230 Dauntless

Winner of an NMMA Innovation Award, the 230 Dauntless astonishes.

Cutting-edge features abound, including group-friendly bow seating, a forward lounge, and the patented All Activity Tower® option. Anglers will appreciate the standard livewell and aft casting deck, as well as a slew of options, such as an under-seat fishbox, raw water washdown and pedestal fishing seats. Add sophisticated fit and finish, and the sleek 230 Dauntless will win your affection, too.
