2003 Nantucket

Postby InVision » Fri Oct 06, 2017 8:59 am

I saw an advertisement for a 2003 Nantucket. I guess I never knew there was such a model. I thought Nantucket was only 2004 and 2005, and in the 190 model only.

That helps. So [the Nantucket 190] was produced from 2003 to 2005. NADA says no to 2003 Nantucket. I found a listing for sale.

NADA is a worthless source for boats.

Boston Whaler introduced 190 NANTUCKET at the Miami boat show in February 2003. For about a half-year all hulls produced were 2003 model year. Only the 190 was named Nantucket. The boat was re-badged as an OUTRAGE sometime in late 2005, becoming a 2006 model.

Boston Whaler marketing went through a phase for a year or two and introduced a few new boats with model designator that returned to the old tradition of using geographic placed names from the east coast. There was an EASTPORT 205 that became a 205 CONQUEST, just as the 190 NANTUCKET became an OUTRAGE

That NADA has inaccurate data just means they made a mistake. They are not a source of authority.

I don't know of any reliable source of information about the volume of production of any Boston Whaler boat hull over any period of time. What would you do if you found out the number of 190 NANTUCKET hulls made in the specified period was 47?
