The boating industry continues to surprise with every passing year, consistently delivering industry-leading innovations and engineering marvels. This steadfast progression has led us to marvel at the Boston Whaler Boats 2024, specifically, Boston Whaler Boat Outrage Series 280 Outrage 2024.
This Boston bred boat is a perfect mesh of class, power, and innovation, effectively revolutionizing the concept of the modern fiberglass fishing boat.
The first thing you notice about the 280 Outrage is its excellent build quality. The model utilizes 316-L stainless steel for all its hardware and rails, promoting long-lasting durability. Every part of its structure speaks of careful craftsmanship: the meticulous aft tackle storage center, the precise gunnel mounted stainless steel rod holders and even down to the well-designed life jacket storage feature.
Apart from its commendable durability, the boat is also designed with comfort in mind. It features a foldaway stern seat and a forward console seat with integrated storage for added convenience. It goes above and beyond to ensure user comfort with a console that includes both a glove box and easy access storage space for personal items. The 280 Outrage is not just any fishing boat; it's essentially a floating and movable comfort zone.
This exceptional boat has ample storage, ensuring that every trip is convenient with no compromises on the comfort and space for the anglers on board. With compartments ranging from bow anchor locker with drain to port and starboard aft fishboxes with pump-out and drains, you will have space for everything you need to carry and catch on your fishing expedition.
Every model in Outrage series boasts an extended engine featuring 250 V8 DTS Black Dual Mercury Verado engines with hydraulic power steering which efficiently reduces manual labor to a bare minimum whilst maximizing user enjoyment. Its superb SmartCraft Deluxe Gauge Package, engine fuel/water separators, and recessed electric trim tabs with indicators promises you both comfort and power as you traverse the water bodies.
To sum it all, Boston Whaler Boats 2024, specifically, the Boston Whaler Boat Outrage Series 280 Outrage 2024, qualifies as the epitome of a modern fishing boat in terms of its structure, comfort, convenience, and performance. Whether you are an avid angler or a casual boat enthusiast, getting a 280 Outrage is an investment worth every penny.

Troubleshooting assistance with dealer notification
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
