1990 Boston Whaler Guardian 25 for sale in Koko Marina, Oahu, Hawaii

Boston Whaler 25 Guardian is a legendary "commercial-grade" center console, essentially the heavy-duty, military-spec sibling of the classic recreational Outrage 25. This boat is a tactical workhorse produced by Brunswick Commercial & Government Products (CPD), and it is designed for search and rescue, law enforcement, and special operations. The hull layup is significantly thicker and more durable than recreational Boston Whalers with approximately 20% more resin and fiberglass than recreational models. This makes the hull stiffer and much more resistant to "hull slap" in rough water. Because of the deep-V hull (22° deadrise), it "slices" rather than "skims." While it requires more power than a flat-bottom boat, it handles the messy channel chops (like the Molokai Channel) significantly better than almost any other 25-footer. On top of that it has a reputation for being one of the best-riding boats Whaler ever made. The 25 Guardian is designed to track straight and remain stable even when heavily loaded with crew or gear.

This boat has been custom designed and setup for canoe escorts by its current owner. The boat has an open deck with lots of room to maneuver onboard around the center console. The gunwales are low for easy recovery of people or equipment from the water. Some of the upgrades include an extended transom and custom aluminum T-top framing for the sunshade with ample handholds and roof racks. Owner has rewired the vessel with new electronics and sound system, replaced the throttles and gauges and switches and repainted the deck and bottom.
