160 DAUNTLESS OUTRAGE 17II GUARDIAN 18
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2019 4:26 pm
I have come forward for advice from continuouswave
First off, I know the 160 DAUNTLESS, the OUTRAGE 17 II, and the GUARDIAN 18 are all completely different boats.
About a year ago I ran into an old timer with a 1998 OUTRAGE 17II. At the time I was looking to upgrade from my DAUNTLESS 15. I’ve always wanted an OUTRAGE 17 II, and that’s the only one I’ve seen on Oahu. He’s ready to sell. The boat is beautiful and he claims that it has 130-hours on the hull with 54-hours coming on its 2012 130 E-TEC. Also it has a little kicker I’d probably sell. Would also need a Bimini or T-top. He’s asking $28,000.
After not being able to find a suitable smaller OUTRAGE, I settled on the 160 DAUNTLESS after selling the DAUNTLESS 15 and finding a good deal on the 160 DAUNTLESS. It’s a 2002 so no notch, and it is powered by 2000 Yamaha F100.
I found a GUARDIAN 18 with a Honda 135-HP, but it’s in CAlifornia, and I’d like it here in Hawaii. Boat’s asking price is $18,500 and shipping would run $5,000.
I spearfish out of my boat which includes two other adults and all of our gear (guessing 150-lbs). Depending on what we catch, that’s another 0 to 100-lbs.
I take pretty far treks that include going to Molokai, that’s roughly 30 miles away plus wherever we go after getting there. Sometimes I go 30 miles offshore out into the big blue. Yes, this happens in my 160 DAUNTLESS weather permitting. Now I’m not sure if it’s the Two-foot-itis, or rational thought, but I feel my 160 DAUNTLESS is a bit underpowered for the task and going slightly bigger would be more comfortable and have roughly the same fuel economy.
The OUTRAGE 17II is 1700-lbs dry and I’m guessing the GUARDIAN 18 is that or a little less. A 160 DAUNTLESS is 1350-lbs. Lengths range a bit more.
160 DAUNTLESS = 16’1”
OUTRAGE 17II = 17’6”
GUARDIAN 18 = 18’10”.
Which would you pick and why?
