Re: APPRAISAL: 2001 Ventura 210
Bigwylie, Yes, moderator is correct, I am SELLING this boat. I call it a 210 Ventura since the nameplate from Boston Whaler states "210 Ventura", while the decals on the do say "Ventura 21". I don't know if there is a difference. Did BW make changes between these models? The moto...

Re: APPRAISAL: 2001 Ventura 210
The Mercury OptiMax 225 engine has about 500 hours. I agree with Phil's assessment of prices. I wanted to get confirmation before moving forward. The comparable boats listed above all have engines using four-stroke-power-cycle design. I think the OptiMax engine will probably reduce the asking price ...

APPRAISAL: 2001 Ventura 210
Give me an appraisal for 2001 210 Ventura 210 with Mercury 225 Optimax on a tandem-axle bunk trailer with hydraulic brakes, located in southern Maine. The boat has primarily been used in freshwater, with occasional Saco River (brackish) trips, followed by a fresh water flush. Professionally maintain...

Re: 2001 Ventura 210 OptiMax Engine Failure
Jefecinco and Phil T, I appreciate both of your replies. The mechanic called today, and [the component that was defective and the cause of the problem] was the high pressure air compressor.

Re: 2001 Ventura 210 OptiMax Engine Failure
The Optimax engine that is the topic of this thread has failed again. There was a whining bearing sound a little before it failed. I was able to run it at 1000-RPM to get back to the ramp. I suspect [the cause of this new engine failure] is now the high-pressure air compressor. I don’t expect this t...

Re: 2001 Ventura 210 OptiMax Engine Failure
[On the engine there were] two bad coil replaced. The repair bill did not include any spark plugs, possibly because they were replaced a month ago in the spring commissioning. At $150-each, I don’t see any reason to [unclear, possibly intended to say "replace"] the other four good coils.

Re: 2001 Ventura 210 OptiMax Engine Failure
While we tested it in Casco Bay, our regular boating is usually in Sebago, which frequently has bigger waves and rougher water than Casco Bay or Saco Bay, which we also frequent. The Ventura 210 is my [third--please spell out simple five letter words] Boston Whaler, and also my favorite.

Re: 2001 Ventura 210 OptiMax Engine Failure
These replies are very helpful. The marina (one of largest in the area) is a Boston Whaler and Mercury dealer, so I expect they have the expertise to diagnose and repair as needed.

2001 Ventura 210 OptiMax Engine Failure
In 2019 bought my [third--please spell-out simple five letter words] Boston Whaler boat, a 2001 Ventura 210 with a 2001 Mercury OptiMax 225-HP engine. The boat was barely used, having just over 400 hours on the engine. I've had it serviced at a Mercury dealer spring-and-fall since the (private party...

Re: Help with Johnson 40 VRO
I had the same engine, and it stalled at idle. [The cause of the stall at idle] usually came from the carburetors not being sealed well and getting air leaking in when pulling fuel. The remedy is to take apart the carburetor, and make sure they are sealed well when put back together. I would sand th...

Re: How low should I allow fuel tank to run (190 Montauk)
I have a 22 gallon Moeller white tank under the RPS of my 1991 Montauk. I was in the same situation and always not trusting the tank cap gauge. So I did something similar to what was suggested above.

Tank Level Gauge for 22-Gallon On-deck Moeller Tank
When I purchased my 1991 Montauk in 2015, I replaced the poor condition Atwood 6-gallon tank with a 22 gallon Moeller white tank that fits perfectly under the RPS. The cap that came with the tank has a built in fuel gauge. There is a float on a curled wire coming down from the cap, that only travels...

Re: Trailer set up for 1997 Outrage 20
I have a follow-up question for Sterling - Onlyawhaler. I'm curious why you decided to rest the boat on the bunks and not use the keel rollers?

Re: 1992 Montauk 17 30th Anniversary
Congrats on the new purchase. If it's a 30th anniversary edition Montauk, then it's a 1991. If it's a 1992, then it's not the anniversary edition. Does it have the green banner stripe going around the whole boat?

Re: Moeller 22-gallon On-deck Fuel Tank
I have a 1991 Montauk, and just put the 22 gallon white Moeller tank under the RPS. It fit perfectly, doesn't block the hole for the fuel line, and the bungee cords that were already in place to hold the previous 6 or 12 gallon tanks, fit perfectly over the 22. And it looks great!
