180 DAUNTLESS_2018 PERFORMANCE

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides performance test results for the 180 Dauntless boat model, tested with two different engines: the Mercury 150 Verado and the Mercury 150 EFI FourStroke. The tests were conducted on different dates and under similar environmental conditions.

Specifications:

Model: 180 Dauntless
Fuel Capacity: 60 gallons
Propeller: 14 1/4” x 18” Enertia

Test #1 - Mercury 150 Verado:

Test Date: 24-April-2007
Dry Weight: 2,826 lbs
Test Weight: 3,304 lbs
Water Conditions: 70°F, Weather Conditions: 80°F
Performance: Maximum speed of 47.8 mph at 6300 RPM with a fuel consumption of 19.0 gph, achieving 2.52 mpg.
Acceleration: Time to plane - 3.1 secs, Idle to 30 mph - 6.8 secs

Test #2 - Mercury 150 EFI FourStroke:

Test Date: 20-January-2012
Dry Weight: 2,533 lbs
Test Weight: 3,063 lbs
Water Conditions: 70°F, Weather Conditions: 80°F
Performance: Maximum speed of 48.2 mph at 5800 RPM with a fuel consumption of 14.4 gph, achieving 3.35 mpg.
Acceleration: Time to plane - 3.6 secs, Idle to 30 mph - 8.3 secs

Performance Analysis:

The Mercury 150 Verado engine provides a slightly higher top speed but with higher fuel consumption compared to the Mercury 150 EFI FourStroke.
The EFI FourStroke engine offers better fuel efficiency, particularly at cruising speeds, which may be beneficial for longer trips.

Graphical Data: The document includes graphs comparing speed and fuel consumption across different RPMs for both engines, highlighting the differences in performance and efficiency.

Notes: The performance data is specific to the tested boats and may vary due to several factors such as installation of additional options, vessel loading, and environmental conditions. Boston Whaler does not guarantee the repeatability of these results.
