Re: Re-power for our Nantucket 190

You want real good advice? Sell the 190 NANTUCKET with OptiMax and buy a way better boat: a 2002 to 2008 210 OUTRAGE. You can find c2005 to c.2007 210 OUTRAGE boats for under or around $30,000 with a Mercury VERADO FOURSTROKE. As good as the 190 hull is, it is no where as good as the 210. I was in a...

While in the water a 170 Montauk needs only one plug. Toward the stern centerline under the removable grid mini-hatch there is sump area where all deck water will drain to be pumped out. Right next to sump pump there is a through-hull that will drain straight down the hull. Plug that hole when the b...

Boston Whaler boats don't come with keel guards from factory. The keel guard was added by the owner of the boat after the purchase.
