Ow! I’m having seller's remorse. [Sold my 18 DAUNTLESS]. What a great boat.

One cure for that: buy a 380 REALM.

Mas--don't fret. I had the same problem. I loved my 1991 Outrage 17, it was perfect.
Found another Outrage 17 last year, a 1992 and will bring her back.

Ha! That would be quite a step up.

Thanks. I still have my 190 Nantucket but I had the Dauntless “tuned in” perfectly.

Yes, but the REALM is something of a SUPER-DAUNTLESS. Of course, at a super-price.

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 we'll probably be using a high and dry slip on Cotton Bayou for a while.

Butch: good for you! We are mostly Dauphin Island folks but get over that way once in a while.
I will be in the Nantucket (or Realm--I wish)

Reading this reassures me not to sell my 18 Dauntless. Now have a 150 Suzuki on it. Only wish is less wind in the face, but a great boat. I think I copied your 'full enclosure' plans when I got mine. I think you had the bright red enclosure posted many years ago. I went with gray. Agree, great boat.

Only if you get rid of it will you totally appreciate the versatility. Incredible boats.
