180 Dauntless
The versatile 180 Dauntless® is loaded with standard fishing features such as eight rod holders and casting space for multiple anglers, including a full-width aft casting deck that converts to a bench seat. Options like the livewell in the front console, reversible pilot seat with livewell and the fishing package with a trolling motor panel make it exceptionally well-appointed for fishing.
For water sports, the standard 135 Verado®, along with the optional ski pylon, can pull a skier with ease. For added convenience for both fishing and water sports, our optional, patented All-Activity Tower® includes features like rod holders, a tow bit and ski and wakeboard stowage.
