Bought a DAUNTLESS 160
Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2019 10:22 am
Hello to all the whalers.
I purchased my first powerboat near the end of last year: a 2000 DAUNTLESS 160 with an old engine. I had the engine tuned up and took the family out for the first time: the engine die in the middle of the lake.
Out of frustration I re-powered with a new E-TEC 90. I also installed new steering cable, fuel line, electrical, and added a T-Top.
II like the boat a lot and it been fun for the family of four, but haven't really taken it out far with the kids. Sometime I wonder if I should take her out the Vineyard or shes a bit too small for the ride.
I hope we can enjoy her a few more years and maybe up for an upgrade to a bigger boat since I have a mooring up to 21-feet We mostly cruising for fun and a bit of fishing here and there.
What would you upgrade to next?
Thanks.
Ry
