220 Outrage as upgrade from DAUNTLESS 17
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2016 2:13 pm
In regard to the Boston Whaler 220 Outrage: I currently have a 1997 DAUNTLESS 17 dual-console, essentially 1997 Outrage hull and pre-Ventura, The family is out-growing this boat. [We are] looking for a boat with more capacity and open water capability.
[Give me your] thought and advice on a gently-used 2012 or 2013 220 Outrage with a low-hour VERADO 250. We would use the boat [half the time for] family cruising, beaching, and tubing, and the rest of the time for near-shore two-mile to 15-mile out fishing around Buzzards Bay.
I am guessing the newer DAUNTLESS hulls are better for the skiing, tubing, and beaching, but my wife only wants something with more freeboard than our current boat. The current Dauntless has [low] freeboard. We were previously looking at dual console 210 VENTURA or a VANTAGE--too nice and too many dollars--but have now decided to consider center consoles
Does anyone have any input on the [Boston Whaler 220 OUTRAGE] boat as a family boat [for the] intended use as noted above? Thanks in advance.
The next boat down on our list is a Robalo 222 with Yamaha 250.
