We just bough at 2003 210 Outrage, moving up from a 16 Dauntless and before that a 17 montauk. Would like to know how it will perform and what I can expect. It is loaded and has a 250 optimax on it. Also, how does it compare to bigger 24 or 27s?
Thanks for your input...

I fish with a friend on his 210 with a 225 Johnson on the transom. My perspective has been from a 17' Outrage for 3 years. The 210 feels like a bigger boat than it is. The 225 pushes it very nicely and I can imagine even better overall performance with the a 250. I can't compare it to a 24 or 25 but you will feel very well contained with the high sides and drastic increase in fishing room. The center console is a tad wide in my opinion but that is just me. It has a good amount of storage but still feel like you have to squeeze to get by with gear. Very small complaint considering the overall performance and fishability. Do you have a kicker? His is transom mounted (15hp) and does a great job trolling. Congrats on your new boat!
