Are there any Vantage 230 owners out there that have the bow boarding ladder and windlass ?
All the Photos on the web seem to show both but you can't select them in the build my boat
Whaler parts for the anchor lid does not show any cutouts for the ladder and BW sales say they are working on it
The windlass option also says includes rode and anchor yet my dealer says it does not come with anchor
Regards
Steve

I'm not sure either but I seem to remember our boat show model had them included. For the 128K plus for this item I would say throw it in and not worry about it Boston Whaler. Can I get a box of chocolates with that purchase please?

A factory Boston Whaler rep told me that the 230 Vantage offered the ladder or windlass but not both.
The 270 Vantage does offer both.

Thanks
Yes it seems a bit confusing from the publicity pictures
The new 270 Dauntless only offers one or other

What's interesting is on the official Whaler video on the Vantage 230 it clear shows both the ladder and windless
Here is the video link

Look at the 1 minute mark for the windless
Look at the 3 minute mark for the ladder
Same boat, same family, same blue sky,,,,,,,

That's exactly what confused me its shown with both in many pictures and video's/boat tests
My local Dealer in UAE got this response from BW:
"Normally as per the 230 Vantage the beach ladder is not compatible with the windlass but I will ask again to engineering if this could be done as a special instruction and let you know in a bit"
I am having a real problem on deciding on what new boat to buy, I may post a separate thread to solicit a few suggestions and opinions

That is one roomy bow area, looks almost twice the size of the 210 Ventura.
If I could only have one boat, the Vantage 230 would be at the top of my list.
