Boston Whaler 250 Outrage Value: A Market Report (2026)
An independent market report. We don’t sell boats or listings. Last reviewed June 2026. (We don’t own a 250 Outrage, so the owner feedback below is sourced from boating forums and published reviews, and attributed.)
What’s a Boston Whaler 250 Outrage worth? As of June 2026, used 250 Outrages are listed (asking) from about $72,000 for an early boat up to about $322,000 for a new, fully rigged one, averaging around $165,000. A typical mid-2010s boat asks $95,000 to $135,000; a late-model (2020 to 2023) runs $180,000 to $250,000. Whaler holds value about as well as any brand on the water, so these sell roughly 5 to 8 percent under asking. Selling figures here are honest estimates, not recorded sales.
The Boston Whaler 250 Outrage is a benchmark 25 foot center console: unsinkable foam-filled construction, a famously dry ride, and the strongest resale reputation in the class. Here’s the pricing across years and what owners actually say.
What it’s listed for (current market)
Compiled from current listings across the major sites (boats.com and Boat Trader). Used 250 Outrages span a very wide range because the model has been built across two generations, and rigging (single vs twin, electronics) swings the price hard. Asking runs from about $72,000 (early, prior-generation boat) to about $322,000 (new, fully optioned), averaging near $165,000.
Value by model year
Anchored on the observed low (about $72K), average (about $165K), and high (about $322K). Bands without a direct sample point are interpolated and marked (est.):
| Model year | Typical asking | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| New (2024 and up) | $230,000 and up (loaded to ~$322,000) | observed high |
| 2020 to 2023 | $180,000 to $250,000 | (est.) |
| 2017 to 2019 | $130,000 to $180,000 | (est.) |
| 2014 to 2016 | $95,000 to $135,000 | (est.) |
| 2009 to 2013 (prior gen) | $72,000 to $110,000 | observed low |
The takeaway: a 250 Outrage barely depreciates for the segment. The real value buys are clean prior-generation boats (2009 to 2013) in the $72K to $110K range, where someone else already absorbed the steep early hit on an expensive boat.
What it likely sells for
Boston Whaler is a premium brand with steady, year-round demand, so the 250 Outrage typically sells roughly 5 to 8 percent under asking, less on a clean, well-rigged example. A 2018 asking about $150K likely trades around $139K to $143K. These are estimates, not recorded sales. Actual sold prices aren’t public.
How it holds value
Exceptionally. It’s one of the strongest resale center consoles made. The unsinkable foam-cored hull, the build quality, and the brand reputation all keep used demand high. You pay a premium new, but you get much of it back, which is the whole case for buying one used.
What owners and reviewers say
Sourced from owner discussion on The Hull Truth and reviews (boats.com, Salt Water Sportsman, BoatTEST), weighted by recurring themes.
What owners praise (often): a remarkably dry ride, with reviewers expecting spray on ocean trials and getting none; legendary unsinkable, foam-filled construction that holds up to salt and heat better than most; and true do-it-all versatility, fishing hard, hauling the family, and going offshore, all done well.
Common notes and gripes (some): a Whaler simply rides different from a conventional deep-vee, so owners stress that you must sea trial one to know if you like it; and you should skip the entry-level horsepower option, because the boat wants to be rigged with real power.
Overall sentiment is strongly positive. The 250 Outrage is widely seen as one of the most solid, capable, and resale-proof boats in its class.
