Keep in mind the limited tow capacity the buyer has. While a classic Montauk 17 or early Montauk 150 are nice, they exceed the tow rating. One additional item, capacity. 5 people is not practical in a 13 or a 15. In a Montauk 17, you can have two sitting on the RPS facing the stern, the driver stand...

Phil T

E--given your tow vehicle, you are choices include the 13' Sport,15' Sport or the post 2000 130 Sport. You might also be able to handle a Dauntless 13. As for engines, classic whalers were rigged by the selling dealers so all brands are prevalent. For a 13' Sport, look for one with a 30-40 hp motor....

While a bit stumped, I would go back to the basics. - Check the hose and muffs. When I first turned on my garden hose, there was a lot of air. I would bleed off the air before adding the muffs. Sound plausible. - Have you had a frost or freeze? Ice blockage or hole in the hose? - Hose on full blast ...

Phil T

In the future, do NOT rev the engine past [1,000-RPM] when on the [hose adaptor]. There is not sufficient water pressure for cooling. Check the outlet fitting (where the tell tale water exits the motor) with some trimmer line. Salt builds up and clogs the opening. If the impeller is more that two-ye...

The Dauntless is marketed as a lake or near shore vessel versus the Outrage which can handle near and off-shore. The Boston Whaler website has very limited information for older model boats. While the deadrise of the two models is far from similar, I would contact Customer Service and ask. http://ww...

Agree with Jim -

Get a certified weight of boat and trailer from a commercial scale.

I presume your trailer has electric or hydraulic brakes? If not, you need them.

Phil T

Does that mean if installed by a non-dealer entity or person it is not available, even if "certified" by a dealer?

Phil T

It does depend on where you live since trailers are regional (except Whaler spec'ed Karavan).

In addition to Frontier's suggestion, Continental makes great trailers.

Lean--porpoising can be exacerbated by many conditions, including: --engine mounted too low --incorrect propeller --inadequate application of engine trim --stern weight bias --sea state --wind conditions. A typical engine mounting height for a Boston Whaler hull is 2 or 3 holes up. I did a search of...

I would check with Tena at Anderson's.

There is no existing mold available. The pattern is unique to Boston Whaler.

To reproduce it, you will need to make a mold using one of the kits.

If you like the flat deck, there was a wooden forward casting platform option for some 16' hulls (e.g., Sakonnet). It can be reproduced using drawings available on the web. The original was painted pine but one could use teak. iu.jpg It was also offered on early Montauks in fiberglass but the size i...

I would proffer that for this to be realistic, the manufacturer would need to create a leasing and finance subsidiary or create a relationship with an existing leasing and finance corporation.

Yamaha Performance Series 3-Blade propeller. The ideal size 13-1/4" x 14.

Phil T

Jackplates and setback increase the propensity for a boat to porpoise.

You should mount the motor without the jack plate and test the performance.

Phil T

Not removing the motor and jack plate is like saying you want to change a car tire without taking the rim off the vehicle. Removing the motor and jackplate is a straight forward DIY. You don't have to derig the engine. You just need a extra set of hands at one crucial step. We can help you step by s...

The water can be a result of a leaky seam between the hull and upper cap. Removal of the interior gunwale trim will provide access to seal the seam.

I searched the old forums and did not see many recommended props for the Verado 225.

I concur with the advice on the parking brake.

According to the story, he was attempting to enter the harbor and missed the markers and tried to pass in-between two breakwaters.

Regardless, running parallel to breaking waves is very dangerous.

Phil T

Check:

--fuel for dirt and water,

--primer bulb for air leak,

--filter in the VST for obstruction, and

--all vent, fill and supply fuel hoses for integrity.

Replace any suspect hoses with new alcohol-resistant hose.

Phil T

Appears the motor can be raised at least 1 if not 2 holes.

The consensus from Boston Whaler owners mounting E-TEC outboard engines is to mount them as high as practical.

The Montauk 170 has had several rear seating options since it's introduction in 2002. The original option was a quarter seat cushion. A backrest was later offered.

Add a wood or composite cleat to the sidewall and then screw the platform into the cleat. To provide extra grip to the cleat screws, use the "hockey puck" method. For each cleat screw, drill a hole in the sidewall, use a small allen wrench and route out a little foam in each hole. Tape off...

Phil T

Mike--I am interested to learn more of the boat's layout. Are there transom drains inside of the rear quarter seats? Are the inspection ports shown standard? Where is the bilge located? Is there a thru hull down to the keel like other Outrage models? Have you tried the ping pong scuppers on the outs...

Phil T

I think the hub insert inside the prop is stripped. This is a replaceable part.

Before you replace it, I second the installation of a tachometer. Your hull with that engine should reach +/- 40-43 mph with a light load. I would retest the boat and measure speed at WOT with a GPS.

Phil T

Is the this the same stern as your boat? Is the water level similar at rest? Have you plugged the splashwell drains in the transom to keep the splashwell/motor well dry? Where exactly are the access covers? On the floor of the spashwell or sides of the quarter seats? I would replace the access cover...

Please describe in detail the location and weight of the passengers, gear and fuel load in the boat. Detail weight of contents in console and bow locker.

What is the engine trim setting when the boat is porposing?
What are the wind conditions and sea state when the boat porposing?

Phil T

For the ocean, I looked at sea conditions two ways. There are swells and there are waves. Each can be a reason to stay home. It also depends on the size of your boat. Three-foot -breaking waves in a 17-foot boat can lead to swamping. Two good bow stuffings and you are almost there. In a 20-foot boat...
