Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2007 vs Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2007 vs Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 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 370 Outrage 2009 measures 37,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2007 at 23,0 feet (2007). At 44 lbs and 135 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 900 hp, the Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 has a 550-hp advantage over the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2007's 350-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 370 Outrage 2009 carries 45 gallons versus 15 gallons in the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2007. 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 370 Outrage 2009 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2007 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 37,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Boston Whaler 240 Outrage 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
