The Dauntless 16 was produced for the model years 1999 - 2006. The model name was changed to Dauntless 160 in 2002 for marketing reasons.

Wow, 150-HP is not a lot of power for a 2,500-lbs hull. The minimum recommended power for the 1999 OUTRAGE 21 is 135-HP. I would change to a propeller with less diameter and less pitch to spin up the engine to 6,000-RPM. With a gear ratio of 2.5:1 , engine speed of 6,000-RPM and a target boat speed ...

Presuming there is no missing fiberglass you can apply a gelcoat layer. Problem with this is gelcoat is sold by the quart and is pricey. An alternative is to apply a gelcoat/fiberglass epoxy-based repair paste. All suggestions are permanent repair solutions. If it must be color matched because it is...

Phil T

Gelcoat is very thin, maybe 1/16-th inch.

What do you mean by chunks?

While I think you can make a temporary repair, add an image of the damage or a link to an image.

What makes it a "Minot" is the interior console, seating arrangements. If it is not all original, then it is considered/called a 16' Custom. Sorry to say but painting the hull topsides and replacing parts of the interior is not a restoration, more a renovation. This detracts from its value...

Phil T

Consider this: The wood interior in your 1973 model has a patina built up over the years that makes it stand out. I am not sure restoring it to "new" would serve your interests. Removing most of the varnish and reapplying additional coats will restore protection to the wood while protectin...

I recall Tom Clark, a veteran Whaler owner and respected "guru" on all things whaler, recommends using marine speaker wire (tinned) for running wires to the bow navigation lamps given its thinner sheath.

Phil T

Sorry to say but having a tractor (and the space to use it) is cheating!

Phil T

Photos showing the wear would help. Remind us, is the axle bolted on to welded points or does it use the compression U brackets? If they replaced the axle and all the bits and the same problem reoccurred, check the frame with a builders square and string to see if it is square. It could be out of sp...

Archie - Be careful with the power washer. You can blow the gelcoat right off the fiberglass as well as force water into any nook or cranny. There really isn't a use for any adhesive on a Boston Whaler unless you are adhering something. The deck seam should be sealed with a marine sealant. Are you b...

Typically there are two or more prongs on the backside that keep it in place.

Remove the panel, turn over and push the tabs in with a flat blade screwdriver.

Phil T

Keep in mind the MSRP for a stock Montauk 190 is $49,381, a Montauk 170 is $35,198, not including delivery and prep. The boats at the Boat show often have pricey options.

Phil T

Honestly, what did you expect a Evinrude (or Suzuki) dealer to say about which brand would work best? They are sales people. As for not considering the E-TEC 90hp, I say pish posh to that advice. I would avoid installing any manufacturer's brand newly designed engine in its first year of production....

Talk to Tena @ Anderson's for cushion prices.
Note the RPS legs attach to the seat cushion (plywood base).

The Teak RPS is pretty pricey to replace. Does it include the rod holders and the grab handles?

While many will read this thinking " it would be great to put a 150hp engine on a Montauk 17 ", my interest in this topic is based on a current model I think is underpowered due to the lack of a suitable Mercury engine model that fits into the hp/weight rating. The Montauk 150 has been and...

In my mind I was envisioning the mold would only have a vertical face and two sides that kept it plumb. On the intial pour, you would need to tape the straps to the tank wall. Once the section had cured, you move the form forward and the two straps would rest on the cured section. You could use duct...

The OP does not provide prop make, model, diameter and pitch. Assuming the boat was tested with a full load of gear and fuel, I believe he could go down in pitch by 2" in the same make/model/size that are installed now, gain ~200-RPM, and get closer to the maximum WOT RPM for the engine, which ...

When looking for a used Boston Whaler, you need to look at CL, Boattrader and other sites for a distance of up to 250 miles from home. Relying on local dealers will not produce many results. If you find one several hundred miles away, there may be a local whaler owner who could take a preliminary lo...

In replicating the dimension of the triangle using A4 paper (8.5x11) and visualizing the length of the run, the results are telling. Keeping in mind the triangle shaped "structure" under the tank will need to take some load, the use of composite or non-wood lumber will be problematic due t...

While I really hate Amazon, they beat TH Marine in price by several hundred dollars. Yikes.

The Z legs offered by Specialty are not OEM. The construction is not the same. I would be wary of their durability given their product description.

A 115hp outboard on a Outrage 18 will not be underpowered. There are several well known members who have the same power and are pleased with the boat's performance. If you do a search you can read the threads. Here is one of many threads: http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/007630.html

While I really like the Montauk 190, I should caution you to reconsider spending at least $49,381 (not including tax, delivery and prep) on your first boat.

I would have a qualified mechanic survey the motor for compression and leak down testing, and ascertain its condition.

You are correct on the history on the 190 Nantucket-Outrage.

Consider removing the existing console rail to get the legs as close a possible to the console.

Quality t-tops are very expensive. Knowing that a custom t-top will run $2,500 to more than $3,500 without options, the Fishmaster is a decent economy model.
