Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides performance data for the 2020 model year Boston Whaler 230 Vantage boat, tested with three different Mercury engines: 250 V8 AMS, 300 V8 AMS, and 350 Verado. Each test includes details on speed, fuel consumption, and range.
Specifications:
  • Model: 230 Vantage
  • Fuel Capacity: 111 gallons
  • Notable Options: Anchor windlass, Bow table, FRP hardtop, SS rub rail, Fishing package, Stereo, Electronics
Test #1 - Mercury 250 V8 AMS:
  • Horsepower: 250
  • Gear Ratios: 1.85:1
  • Prop: 14 1/4" x 18" Enertia
  • Test Date: 26-April-2018
  • Acceleration: Time to plane 5.4 secs, Idle to 30 mph in 8.5 secs
  • Performance: Maximum speed of 47 mph at 6000 RPM with a fuel consumption of 23.0 gph
Test #2 - Mercury 300 V8 AMS:
  • Horsepower: 300
  • Gear Ratios: 1.85:1
  • Prop: 16" x 18" Enertia Eco
  • Test Date: 25-April-2018
  • Acceleration: Time to plane 4.9 secs, Idle to 30 mph in 8.3 secs
  • Performance: Maximum speed of 50.3 mph at 6000 RPM with a fuel consumption of 24.6 gph
Test #3 - Mercury 350 Verado:
  • Horsepower: 350
  • Gear Ratios: 1.75:1
  • Prop: 14 1/4" x 18" Enertia
  • Test Date: 28-September-2015
  • Acceleration: Time to plane 5.7 secs, Idle to 30 mph in 9.1 secs
  • Performance: Maximum speed of 53 mph at 6300 RPM with a fuel consumption of 31.0 gph
Performance Analysis: The performance data indicates that the 350 Verado engine provides the highest speed and power, but also the highest fuel consumption. The 300 V8 AMS offers a balance between speed and fuel efficiency, while the 250 V8 AMS is the most fuel-efficient at lower speeds.
Graphical Data: The document includes graphs comparing the performance of the three engines in terms of speed (mph) and fuel consumption (gph) across different RPM levels.
Important Notes: The performance data is specific to the tested boat and conditions. Factors such as weather, sea conditions, and boat configuration can affect performance. Boston Whaler does not guarantee that these results will be replicated under different conditions.
