AMEN Jim !!

InVision

GREAT INFO. I have a HX870 in the ditch bag. Thanks.

M

InVision

I believe they are custom made. I also had the two welded-on rocket launchers added. I will ask if they mind me mentioning them on a public forum. At the least I will PM or email you when it gets here. I really hesitate mentioning anything I have not seen and touched yet.--M

InVision

Great that you pointed out that the Swim Platform was changed. Been wondering why since we got our 190 Nantucket. Does the platform thru bolt. If not I image those are some tough bolts to get to.

Another weird thing--to me at least--the 2017 190 Montauk weighs 1900-lbs, less than the 2004 Nantucket which became the Montauk 190 later. Wow is this true? "The 190 Nantucket became the Montauk 190" I looked at the 2017 Montauk 190 and Outrage 190 side by side at dealer. The hulls did n...

InVision

Thanks Jim. Kind of figured it was not retroactive.

My main question is: "Is there a difference in the 190 OUTRAGE hull of a 2004 and a 2017 model?" If so was wondering what was the difference that they raised the HP rating.

M

InVision

Is there a difference in the 190 NANTUCKET/OUTRAGE hull of a 2004 and a 2017 model? The [maximum] horsepower rating is 150-HP on 2004 and 200-HP on 2017. Why? If [the hulls are the] same can we use a 200-HP? I realize the weight of our 150 Optimax is only 450-lbs. I may re-power our 2004 Nantucket w...

InVision

I found a photo of the backrest and thought I would post for reference. I ordered one, should be in in a couple of weeks--M

InVision

Yes sir. I understand

InVision

I am not totally sure I understand. But for 36V trolling motors which have a 60 AMP capacity we use a normal 12v switch and a 60 amp relay near TM. That way we don't have to run big expensive wire to the console.

I apologize if I am not understanding what your looking for.

InVision

When the boat is on the trailer, I use the trailer lock mechanism on my Evinrude engine. I think all Evinrude engines have had this mechanism built into their engine mount for 30 years. No need to buy something extra. Jim, I politely disagree with your statement. I have owned many outboards 70-300h...

Got mine the other day. I have already read it and my wife has started it.

Superb job !!

Please keep us up to date on where we members can get the booked signed!!

Does anyone have any suggestions for a boat cover for our 2004 Nantucket 190? The boat will be on a boat lift and we where getting a lift cover but cannot find one this year probably. Don't want to break bank here because hopefully when folks get caught up from storm damage that we will get a boat l...

InVision

Well decided on a portable solution for now. No holes, easy to get to and does not interfere with manual compass...

Thanks for the replies - IMHO - I know that SS bolts hold up better, but my feeling is that they are somewhat soft. I use galvanized bolts for bunks and zinc for strength on bunk to bracket connections. I spray the entire support area with LPS3 and have never had a problem. My boat lift is all galva...

InVision

Well I have an idea for the stereo head unit of our 190 Nantucket. What do you think about putting in behind front console back rest in the upper back box area? Not looking for anymore console holes...

Thank you,

Got a 2004 Nantucket 190 with original trailer. I figure on a couple hundred dollars for repairs. Since I am putting boat on our dock boat lift soon I will be repairing trailer. One of the bad parts were the bunk braces. Apparently when [Karavan] made these in 2004 they used zinc coated bunk bracket...

InVision

Well I just purchased my first Boston Whaler. Folks here helped a bunch. It is a 2004 Nantucket 190. I got the boat, trailer and 150HP Optimax for $18000.00. Most everything on the boat was is excellent shape. I had been looking for 6 months or more. I sea tested this boat and the Optimax was loud. ...

InVision

If did not already have an extra charger left over from the SeaRay I would be considering the Blue Sea Systems 7605. I am going to install just the basic system for now. Battery, battery box, 2-AWG wire, and Perko switch were only $140. I am not sure how to get 120-V AC dock power into the console w...

InVision

No plans to move switch while boat is running. I ordered the 2 AWG wire set and plan on hooking up like the Perko instructions say. I will just alternate which battery I run on sometimes. I also in the near future plan on putting a [shore-powered] two-bank 5-Ampere charger-maintainer so batteries wi...

InVision

Does someone know of a leaning post backrest?

InVision

Here is simple diagram.

I realize both batteries can not be charged at the same time. Switch says I can with from A to B but not to off while motor running.--M

[This remark was composed in error, causing some confusion. It has been deleted, and so have the comments and clarifications about the error--jimh]

InVision

I guess I am totally lost here. Should I connect the negative batteries together? Or run an 8-AWG wire from second battery to the ground block?

InVision

I have the same-size Perko dual battery switch. I noticed that the negative original battery has a wire of 8 or 10-AWG that I think runs to the main ground bus. Do I need to have one of those running from the new second battery to that same bus? I am figuring I do. Also I have five-foot AWG-4 red an...

InVision

Well we have already had battery trouble on our new boat. Ended up with two 24 size batteries so I am going to mount another battery box in console. At first going make it a manual connect extra battery. I am thinking about a dual battery switch, dock charging system and even a ACR system like "...

InVision

Jim I agree with you about best sound being eye level. We have a theatre room in our home with DTS 7.1. The sound system on out boat can never be perfect. Many folks confuse good sound system with a loud sound system. I would like to avoid cutting console so I am looking at speakers that attach to r...

InVision

Thanks Phil !!

I had already downloaded all the 2004 files. Did not think of getting a new file, but it makes sense because the hull is the same...

M

InVision

Kind of funny about the speakers. I had generally decided that cutting the hull or console would devalue our investment. I am probably going with a concealed stereo that can be controlled by bluetooth and my iPhone. The cooler stereo sounded like a good idea, but I really need the cooler for a coole...

InVision

Thanks I did read your discussion. I am thinking a y-valve on the existing raw water plumbing and a port on leaning post. Haven't measured the pressure yet so still in the planning stage. Had this on one of my boats and it work well.

I liked the port you setup.

InVision

On that first pic of the motor -right there are 3 very important parts .White canister is water fuel separator. To the left and right are low and high pressure fuel pumps.You gonna have to make custom filter wrench to remove that water separator since no standard metal wrench will be able to reach ...

Well I re-checked the compression the proper way and it was better.

Going to put on our boat lift in a week or two. We will see how it does...

Thanks to everyone who replied.

M

InVision

Not sure what you mean by what is going on under the cowling. Is something wrong in your mind with the OptiMax 150hp?

InVision

I found an old thread:
Topic: 2004 Nantucket leaning post backrest pictures/ seating options

Are there any photos of the back rest they reference that was a good fit for standard leaning post? Thank you--M

Thanks. The boat had not be detailed. It needs a polish and a wax badly. No spider cracking that I have found. Here is a couple of more photos. The reason I bought the boat was it was in so much better condition than the other I seen. Just needs some hull cleaning and a good wax. M IMG_0080-small.jp...

InVision

Hey guys--I am really new to our new 2004 190 Nantucket. Has any NANTUCKET been modified to add a raw washdown?

Also--where should loudspeakers be placed [for best reproduction of music]?

Thanks--M

InVision

Well here is a lesson learned. The 190 Nantucket/Outrage has a bilge. I did not look in it before buying this boat. Hell I didn't really know it had one. I asked what the hatch between the leaning post and the motor well was for and the seller said to put the plug in & out. Ok I got lucky it was...

InVision

Yea spark plugs are a challenge. New plugs but seems gap is awful big. Ordered shop manual.

InVision

I found out the I did the compression test wrong. Test should be done on warm motor with all 6 plugs out and throttle wide open. So I will redo test. I purchased the boat and will pick it up tonight. The seller had a few other buyers lined up and I did not want to lose the chance to own the 2004 Nan...

InVision

Thanks for the reply. According to everything I have read one cylinder being 20% from the others is not normal. The other 5 cylinders are within 3% of each other. It is a puzzle in my mind. I have checked many compressions on 2 & 4 Stroke outboard motors. Have seen a couple which indicated probl...

InVision

The Mercury 150 checked out but the compression check had a high reading cylinder. Boat ran fine and has ~160 hours on it. Original motor. WOT is 5500 rpms at 45 mph as specs say. Motor sounded a little off, hard to explain. Reading all taken multiple times 1 - 104 2 - 108 3 - 108 4 - 130 5 - 106 6 ...

Seller is motivated and want to sell this 2004 190 Outrage for $18,000 cash. Got 12 hours to decide. Boat sea trial was smooth and solid, but Mercury Optimax was very loud. Especially when accustomed to new 4-strokes. Would be a re-power 4-stroke candidate in a couple of years. Is that a deal? Thanks

InVision

Thanks Jim !! My search continues...

Found another Boston Whaler 190 Nantucket. This on is a 2004 is even better condition for $21800. Comments?

Thank you

InVision

Wow thanks for all the details JimH. The selling party has not allowed us to test ride the boat. I have cash in hand and he still has not answer my request for a test ride for over a week. When we looked at the boat he said his wife was highly suggesting to sell. But if he was a serious seller seems...

InVision

Thank you all for the thoughts. I am hoping for a test ride tomorrow. Fingers crossed but not getting impatient.

Still looking.

InVision

Has anyone ever put a trolling motor on this model. Bow Rail is a show stopper?
