Boston Whaler debuts impressive new 420 Outrage at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show - Boston Whaler

The helm area of the 420 is spectacular in its ability to accommodate up to six passengers while underway, all facing forward, standing or sitting. An actuated captain’s seat and dual forward-or-backward facing companion seating is accompanied by an entire second row: a conversion bench that flips to face forward, or aft for when the main action is in the rear cockpit.

“The 420 Outrage breaks boundaries for center console capability,” said Jeff Vaughn, Boston Whaler vice president of sales, marketing and customer service. “It embodies a perfect balance of powerful offshore performance and exquisite onboard comfort. There is literally nothing else like it on the marketplace.”

Performance will certainly astound: Quad 300-hp Mercury® Verado engines feature Shadow Mode Technology and Joystick Piloting, delivering strong, efficient power, precise maneuverability and effortless docking, while the helm station’s three state-of-the-art Raymarine® G Series screens afford seamless command of the boat and superior awareness of its surroundings. Boston Whaler’s legendary construction guarantees a stable, dry ride in any conditions—whether the desire to brave big water is an every-weekend reality or a bucket-list item. The center console design affords easy 360-degree walkaround, with high sidewalls for added safety and peace of mind.

And because it’s an Outrage, boaters can count on serious sport-fishing capability. A well-outfitted leaning post offers several available configurations, including a fish-prep station with large work surfaces, ample gear storage and pressurized livewell; and a Summer Kitchen option featuring freshwater sink, refrigerator/freezer, electric grill, storage and more. An optional upper station provides a superior vantage point for tracking game fish or soaking in views of the horizon. Stainless-steel trim completes the picture of rugged, understated beauty.

“We have been building toward this moment with the introduction of more than a dozen new models in the last three years. The company’s trajectory is remarkable, and we have great confidence in our future,” said Bower. “With backing from our parent company, Brunswick Corporation, we’ve invested in a significant expansion of our manufacturing facility, which will enable us to meet the already sizable demand for the 420 Outrage.”

Another standout feature of the boat is its gracious cabin. With a whopping seven feet of headroom, it offers superior comfort and an ideal place to escape from the elements. Ample skylights flood the area with natural light, and eye-level porthole windows add a sense of bringing the outdoors in. In the V-berth, a large dining table makes this a perfect place to gather with friends over drinks or a game of cards; the table then converts easily to become a bed. Additional sleeping space to port and a tasteful galley and head are just three of the many features that make the cabin a welcoming space. Owners can also choose from three interior finish packages to customize the Outrage to their personal tastes.

“The 420 Outrage offers a new level of sophistication,” said Bower. “It’s a culmination of so many fundamental Whaler attributes: Unbeatable safety and performance. Effortless style. Incredible versatility. Cutting-edge technology. It’s precisely those strengths that enable us to deliver something even more: the future of boating, brought squarely into the present.”

The 420 Outrage will be on display in water at the Bahia Mar Marina (Slip #C300–310) for the duration of the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, which runs from October 30 to November 3.
