Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2008 vs Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2008 vs Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 measures 23,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 12,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2008 at 11,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2008 tips the scales at 424 lbs — 380 lbs more than the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 at 44 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 has a 335-hp advantage over the Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2008's 15-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 carries 15 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2008 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
