Based in Marathon, Florida, the 24' Boston Whaler (dual engine) is built for open-water days and weeklong escapes alike — a deep-V hull powered by twin Yamaha f150s that handles offshore runs with fuel efficiency, while a freshwater livewell, custom t-top with six outriggers and a 10" Garmin color GPS make the boat equally at home for sightseeing, coastal dining stops and dolphin fishing.
