Tampa Bay Area Rendezvous

Postby ofmiceandmenemsha » Fri Mar 01, 2019 6:40 pm

Hello all!

Just bought a 2006 220 Dauntless and was wondering if anyone would be interested in an informal raft up/rendezvous somewhere in the TAMPA BAY area where there are tons of good options.

I’m happy to take the helm and plan.

Who would be interested?

NICK--nice find; the OUTRAGE 18 is a great boat. I actually made an offer on one a few weeks ago but was outbid.

I am looking forward to this boat. Was actually considering a more modern Whaler hull but you know me. Going form a 26 SeaRay bow rider to this is going to take a little bit but we'll be fine as I know it blows away a classic Montauk in size and ride quality and I did fine with the 8 or so of those I owned over the years. In reality it will ride better than my 19 banana and hopefully not as wet.
