Boston Whaler Unveils Next-Generation Outrage Models at Miami International Boat Show 2026
A new era of offshore center console boats has arrived as Boston Whaler debuted its updated 330 Outrage and 290 Outrage models at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2026. The vessels represent a significant evolution for the US shipyard, introducing innovative hull technology and refined onboard systems designed for enhanced performance and versatility.
Revolutionizing Offshore Performance with WhalerStep Technology
The 330 Outrage leads this evolution, showcasing WhalerStep hull technology – a fusion of a stepped hull derived from patented Brunswick designs and Boston Whaler’s signature Unibond construction. This innovative approach aims to deliver improved dynamic efficiency, a smoother ride in challenging sea conditions, and superior splash management, all while upholding the brand’s renowned structural safety standards. According to a company release, the new hull design represents a “significant leap forward” in offshore boating.
Power and Precision: Engineering for the Open Water
Propulsion for the 330 Outrage comes from the option of dual Mercury Marine outboards, up to 425 hp each. These engines are seamlessly integrated with Simrad NSS4 navigation electronics and a helm station meticulously configured for a driver-centric experience. The console and control layout have undergone a comprehensive revision, prioritizing readability of critical information and ease of access to essential functions during offshore operation.
Versatility Redefined: A Multi-Purpose Platform
Beyond performance, the 330 Outrage is engineered as a versatile platform catering to a wide range of activities. Redesigned seating areas, optimized storage solutions, and thoughtfully integrated social spaces in the cockpit and bow enhance the boat’s usability for fishing, day cruising, and extended outings. The design team focused on creating a boat that could seamlessly transition between these different operational scenarios.
Scaling Innovation: The 290 Outrage Joins the Lineup
Alongside the flagship 330, the new 290 Outrage debuts, extending the benefits of this design philosophy to a more compact size. The 290 Outrage mirrors the stylistic language, hull solutions, and weight distribution principles of the 330, offering the same advanced technology in a more manageable package. One analyst noted that this expansion of the Outrage range demonstrates Boston Whaler’s commitment to providing options for a diverse customer base.
