I cannot read or hear "Flanders Fields" without tearing up. It brings to mind so many of my old comrades who are now gone. I lost just such a grand old comrade a few months ago and it is still painful to remember.

Thank you for your positive thoughts.

I have not relocated a battery. We have a 1981 Sport 13 and I have thought about moving the battery as you are considering. First, I believe I would locate the battery beneath the thwart only if it is an AGM because they require so little care. Second, I would worry very little about a lack of wood ...

The same size, color and font as the "Boston Whaler" on the side about midway between the harpoon stripe and the waterline.

I also had the registration number in the same color and font as the logo but used the size the state likes, I believe it was three inches.

For those with a nice flat transom, classics and Montauks for example, a name on the transom looks just fine. However, the "euro-style" transoms, Dauntless for example, don't permit enough flat space for showing a boats name. We see that many commercial boats sport their names on the bow a...

I've had a couple of different trailers with PVC pipe guides. They seem to come in two types, heavy duty and other. Our current Sport Tail trailer has heavy duty guides and they are superior. The PVC pipe is thick wall but I don't remember the Schedule Number. The aluminum stubs are very well mounte...

Shipping containers suffer a lot of abuse. I would ensure all blocking and straps are robust enough to withstand all the handling you may observe while containers are handled at a port as well as the rolling forces encountered during a long voyage. I would also buy insurance coverage for the trip. D...

I've had good results from the Weather Underground web site. A feature I like is the ability to zero in on specific neighborhoods for current conditions. Forecasts are only about as good as the NWS, or merely good. I'm fairly certain that our local TV forecasts are based on NWS forecasts despite cla...

We look forward to seeing your Nantucket some day soon. We are moving to Gulf Shores this month but we will be fishing the lower bay and Mississippi Sound. We will be living on the Intercoastal just a little west of the 59 bridge on the south side. A slip and boat lift are not yet in the budget so w...

Jefecinco

I'm not quite able to visualize your cover. A photograph would be helpful or the cover manufacturers name from a label. Do you plan to store your Sport on a trailer or a mooring? Carver Covers web site may have some helpful pictures or other information to help you get your cover installed. http://w...

If a Montauk 17/170 Montauk would fit your requirements it would be a more affordable alternative.

Jefecinco

Are you seeking a 190 without power? If not I wish you luck in your search. What kinds of prices have you seen for the model.

Jefecinco

Many 190 Montauk boats were sold with 115-HP engines. Early 190 Montauk hulls were rated for 135-HP maximum. Our 190 has a 135-HP engine and is a very good performer. I believe the current 190 Montauk is rated for a maximum of 150-HP. A 115-HP engine will provide very adequate performance on a 190 M...

Jefecinco

Rick, If no one is able to provide the information you've requested try the Boston Whaler website. If the boat you're interested in is not too old the Summer Kitchen may be a current option. You can check on the "Build a Boat" link for more detailed information including current pricing fo...

When we sold our Dauntless we met and parked at MarineMax in Gulf Shores. I brought the boat and registration with a Bill of Sale. The buyer brought a Certified Check. He inspected the boat and satisfied himself all was good. A week earlier we spent an afternoon fishing in the Gulf as a test ride. H...

The live well lid atop most live wells is not intended for use as a bait prep or filleting table. On the 190 Montauk, for example, the lid is covered in non-skid and is a useful step for boarding the boat. It's much too nice a piece of gear for a cutting board. It would be a fairly simple and easy j...

Jefecinco

I assume you're writing about what is sometimes called a bait preparation station. If so, they are available from aftermarket vendors. The majority of those I've seen are mounted to a stainless tube for temporary mounting in a single rod holder. A web search will probably result in finding one that ...

Jefecinco

Phil--our 1999 Dauntless 16 purchased new in March 1999 had a poly under the deck fuel tank. I believe poly tanks were in wide use by Boston Whaler well before 2005.

Jefecinco

No, although our 190 Montauk has an access plate above the tank, we boat exclusively in salt water, and the tank cavity drains into the bilge. I periodically open the access hatch to inspect the tank top paying particular attention to the fuel level sending unit but have not seen any sign of a need ...

If you have SmartCraft gauges and are happy with them why invest in another data source? My 190 came with SmartCraft and I want Vessel View because my gauges have darkened and can be difficult to read in certain lighting conditions. It should be easy to read on our Android based tablet and the requi...

Jefecinco

I would first visually examine the throttle switch wiring where it passes through the binnacle. If the insulation on a wire has worn through it could be contacting the binnacle or throttle handle energizing the tilt function when the throttle is moved forward. If it is not that simple a more systema...

Fifteen inch on the Karavan that came under our 190 Montauk.

Although VV Mobile is an app for smart phones is it usable on a tablet? Thus far I've been able to resist a smart phone and the huge (to me) costs but it becomes more difficult to resist every year.

I've done this on a sterndrive gearcase. It was dry but the pressure was low and soapy water was used on the outside much as we used to use to find a leak in a tire tube. I don't recall the pressure used but I turned my regulator to a very low setting. The manual should give you a recommended pressu...

You can claim the Outrage is better than any Montauk. While I'm sure that is your opinion not everyone shares that opinion. One could ask "better for what"? Certainly not for everything. Inshore and shallow water angling comes to mind as does water sports. I'll certainly concede the Outrag...

Nothing very surprising that the Verado L6 is smoother running at idle than the L4. An advantage of the L4 other than size and weight is that it does not need the very expensive electric power steering used by the L6 series. At engine speeds above idle I'm unable to discern any difference in NVH bet...

Jefecinco

According to VeradoClub discussions well maintained Verados are good for several thousand hours. Not that they don't have items that wear out and break but that the basic engine internals seem not to have had enough failures to damage the Verado reputation for durability. In fairness the same applie...

Phil -- That's a great tip. I didn't realize the Gorilla Glue was that durable. It's good to know it will hold screws securely.

Jefecinco

Phil,

You lost me there with the "hockey puck" method.??

Jefecinco

That looks like a very good price at Gull Lake Marine on the 2017 180 Dauntless with Optimax power. I would certainly be checking out their inventory.

Jefecinco

If you order a boat with the features you want and nothing more I believe you can expect to pay close to MSRP. Many dealers will include a "Coast Guard Package" as well as some dock lines and perhaps a fender or two. A substantial deposit may be required in case you change your mind or fin...

Jefecinco

I had an experience very similar to Wirenut's. Our purchase was a 190 Montauk and we saved a huge amount by not accepting our local Marine Max's best offer. We ended up driving from Mobile, AL to St Louis, MO to buy our Montauk from a small family owned and operated dealership. Back then Google was ...

When we were stationed in the Dominican Republic 1983 thru 1985 we frequently had to visit Roosevelt Roads (RR) for medical, dental and administrative support. A couple of times we spent a few days there on leave and rented a car to explore the areas around RR and San Juan. The island is a gem and t...

Jefecinco

Fred -- I seem to remember you recently repowered your Montauk. Unless the used boat market in Puerto Rico is quite different than ours here on the continent you could take a big hit. BTW which area do you use for launching most often? I hope to see the new offerings at our Mobile, AL Boat show on M...

Jefecinco

Although I prefer the styling of the Classic Boston Whalers I can trade the traditional for the functionality of the new boats.

Jefecinco

I quite like the new styling. I also liked the styling of the Evinrude G2 engines from the first time I saw them. This looks a lot like a trend to me. If sales are substantial, look for similar styling from Suzuki and Yamaha.

Jefecinco

The exterior design is somewhat radical and seems to follow a trend started by the Evinrude G2 family.

Referring to the MFD mounting location on the Montauk console and the possible problem with interference with the helm compass. When mounting a ten inch MFD on our Dauntless 16 we faced a similar quandary. The solution we used was to remove the compass from its usual location and relocate it to a cu...

Jefecinco

A 9-inch unit is always superior to a 5-inch. On your Montauk I would gimbal-mount the unit atop the console directly ahead of the steering wheel. In that position you can see the unit without taking your eyes off your course line over the water.

Jefecinco

The video is too short for me to definitely identify the boat as a 190 Montauk. I believe it certainly could be a 190 based upon the console and as much of the hull as was visible.

Jefecinco

Fred--I am assuming you're going give us a report on the Boston Whaler showings.

We hope the storm recovery efforts are improving life for you and your neighbors.

Jefecinco

Waterfun -- You've done your homework. In your situation I would choose a Sunbrella cover in your choice of color from a Carver Covers dealer for $588 less any current discounts available. Why Carver? I've owned a handful of Carvers over several years. All were near perfect fit and very well constru...

Jefecinco

From the photograph I can't tell where the anchor locker hatch begins and ends. If forward space permits another location would be preferable. I assume your boat also has a bow pulpit? The pictured windlass appears to be horizontal. A vertical windlass may need less mounting space. Before proceeding...

If the sand bag method determines that increased tongue weight is needed and the winch post is moved forward a few inches a test trip can determine if the adjustment solves the problem. After a final position for the winch post has been determined it will be relatively easy to adjust the bunks forwa...

Is it possible the pole connector fits into a socket with a male receptacle? If so, it would seem to be a bad idea as pointed out in in jimh's comment. Is there a male socket on your boat. If I remember correctly the white all around light on our 190 Montauk uses a pole with a female connection like...

Jefecinco

When you say Boston Whaler trailer do you mean a Karavan trailer normally sold with late model Montauks? If so, it is very likely the trailer is correctly set up for towing. Before doing anything drastic like moving axles make sure your trailer and Expedition are correctly set up for towing. I would...

An option for your Dragonfly could be a dual battery set up, with one battery dedicated to house power for your electronics, and the other reserved for starting. By isolating the house battery your electronics would be protected from high voltage. Battery charging could take place when your Dragonfl...

F82MG -- Is the back seat permanently installed? Does the seat back fold forward? To facilitate angling our 190 Montauk has no bow rail. Our old Carver cover fits well despite having extra material below the rub rail on the forward half of the Montauk. Carver now makes a cover perfectly fitted for 1...

Jefecinco

If you plan to use an arch to tow skiers I recommend you not trust a piece of phenolic material to serve as a material in which screws or lag bolts secure the base. By elevating the load above head level, say 80 inches above deck, you will have created a long lever to strip out any mounting screws. ...

Jefecinco

Tacky -- Given the perfect fit of the bracket and the fact that it was chosen by Boston Whaler to be sold with their boats makes me believe it is an ideal solution for towing water skiers behind your 190. Frankly, it looks as though it was specifically designed and engineered for the application. I'...

Jefecinco

I've seen Boston Whalers with a ski pylon option which allowed the tow line to be above the engine. Perhaps the pylon is aftermarket but the ones I've seen look like they would work well on your 190. Some tow pylons are found at http://www.go2marine.com . I believe that would be the most convenient ...
