... our future. I am in favor of smaller and simpler. I have pretty much decided on a 17-footer. The question is whether it should be a Montauk or a Dauntless. I suspect either will meet our needs.

[I am] looking for input on whether [I should] upgrade to a 2010 200 Dauntless from my current 2005 180 Dauntless. My 180 has a 135 Optimax (with 250-hours of run time), Lenco trim tabs, fishing package option, raw water washdown, and Lowrance electronics. ...

... Outrage 18 would make a capable tender, with a great deal of interior room for a boat that size. It will be substantially better in chop than your Dauntless 15, night and day different.

There was an optional T-Top. You can see it's design and part # from the Resources Section of http://www.BostonWhaler.com. Specifically, it is sheet 4 of 5, Final Assembly and Options , 2007 Outrage 220 http://www.bostonwhaler.com/boat-ownership/resources/ It is feasible to add a t-top after origina...

... If all hulls were fabricated with the necessary reinforcements in them for attachment of a T-top, then it would be reasonable to infer that a 220 DAUNTLESS that did not originally have a T-top could be fitted with one. A second concern is the availability of the OEM T-top. Again, my understanding ...

Hello. I may buy a newer Boston Whaler boat. I have found a 2007 220 Dauntless that seems to be pretty nice. However it does not have a T-top. I was hoping to get something in the 20 to 24-feet range with a four-stroke-power-cycle engine and T-top. Did [the ...

Thanks to all for the good advice offered to LADY'. I just hope LADY' wll come back to the thread to read the several very interesting replies from owners of the 20 DAUNTLESS.

I've had a [1996] 20 Dauntless for about 10 years, and we love it. It came with a 175-HP Johnson Oceanrunner and I repowered it two years ago with a 175-HP Evinrude ETEC. It's a great boat for running around in moderate ocean chop and ...

I owned a 1996 20' Dauntless with a 200 Johnson which was ample power for that hull, though I often see them for sale and powered with a 175 Mercury. Here are the specs for that model year: Length 19' 8" Beam 8' 4" Draft ...

Looking for cushions (particularly bow) and cooler seats for a 15 foot Dauntless.
Located in Tampa.
Thanks, in advance!

I am sure a DAUNTLESS 15 would be a nice boat, but I don't know that it fits the criteria for this buyer. Typically a DAUNTLESS model will be heavier, increasing the towing weight, which is an important consideration to this buyer. ...

I don't know anything specific about a 1996-model-year Boston Whaler DAUNTLESS boats that would be particularly important to watch for when buying a used model. But that's not to say that someone else will know something important. But please tell us which ...

Check out the Dauntless 15.

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 ...

... I was about 20. I ran this boat in coastal water around Cape Cod, and it stayed in my family for many years. It was sold when my dad purchased a Dauntless 16 around 2002. My next Whaler was a 1977 Montauk 17 with and 85 hp Johnson, 15hp Johnson kicker and the full Mills canvas set. I purchased ...

Masbama

Still have not re powered. Glad you are happy with the Suzuki. Will be interesting to see where BRP goes with the G2. Would assume that the G1 150 hp will be phased out.

Hello everyone my name is Paul, and I have a 1997 Boston Whaler OUTRAGE 17. I recently changed the [outboard engine] to a Suzuki DF140A from an Evinrude 150 Ocean Pro. The performance is excellent. I recommend it 100-percent.

Buoy

Wow--that 190 Outrage does seem to run deeper than the Dauntless. Thanks for taking the time to take the photos. admirable.

Ridge Runner

As you can see in these pictures the 2006 190 Outrage has a deeper and sharper bow entry (Deeper V) that is carried farther aft than the 2002 180 Dauntless. The Outrage will have better sea keeping abilities than the Dauntless. While the Dauntless will have better stability than the Outrage at ...

Buoy

Thanks all for your responses. I currently own the 180 Dauntless and am in contract to purchase the 190 Outrage. I just recently started looking at the 190 Outrages thinking that there would be some incremental improvement in performance over the 180 ...

Phil T

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 ...

Using the data above for dry boat weight and horsepower, I calculated the lbs/HP ratios as 180 DAUNTLESS = 15.4-lbs/HP 190 OUTRAGE = 13.7-lbs/HP Since the 190 OUTRAGE has a better (lower) weight-to-horsepower ratio, it should accelerate faster, assuming the hulls are generally ...

Jefecinco

... problems with some Yamaha exhaust systems recently. I recommend you look into that as part of your analysis. Comfort is difficult to define. The Dauntless hull should be more stable due to less deadrise. The Outrage hull should be a little less bumpy in choppy conditions. For family boating the ...

Buoy

Hi all. What is the deadrise angle on [the 2002 180 Dauntless and 2006 190 Outrage]? The specifications are very similar for both [the 2002 180 Dauntless and 2006 190 Outrage]. Should we expect any significant differences in performance and comfort? ...

Thanks for the reply
I've been able to crawl around a 240 recently -- fits what I'm after. The sales guys indicated the foot difference between the 230 and the 240 is mainly in the bow. That area of the boat is important to what we do so I think we'll go with a 240.
Thanks again

JEFF--since both the boats you are inquiring about are rather recent models of Boston Whaler boat, I recommend you contact the Boston Whaler company or one of its dealers to seek more information on the precise dimensions and differences between these models.

Given enough time between swells (15+ seconds), it is not that bad.

Last Friday, I made it to Santa Cruz island in a little over an hour in my Dauntless 15. The speed was around 15 to 17-nautical-miles-per-hour. NOAA showed swells of up to six feet rolling through the gap between the islands.

Jefecinco

I know nothing about the 16s other than the Dauntless 16 so I can't comment on its suitability for the modifications you listed. I agree that the Montauk is an exceptional design for fishing from the bow. Converting a 16 bow to a Montauk style ...

jfaisten

According to the specifciations I have, the 230 DAUNTLESS is 23-feet 6-inch long and the 240 DAUNTLESS is 24-feet 8-inch long. The beam is the same, 8-feet 6-inch. I've looked at several pictures of both boats and it's hard to determine where the ...

andygere

I agree with all the other positive comments on the Dauntless 16. It is a much more substantial boat than the 15, and handles nasty chop as well as any boat that size. While I agree the boat would perform better with a 115 than a 90, the 90 hp Mercury ...

Jefecinco

... a few words. As I previously said, I agree with all the previous positive comments and that's part of the answer. Much of my appreciation of the Dauntless 16 is not definable. The 16 gave me an overall and general feeling of comfort and security. Some more specific reasons were the ease with ...

andrey320

... Bob, thank you for the detailed write up, good points. Jefecinco, wow! The Montauk 190 is one of my dream boats. Hearing someone say that the Dauntless 16 is nice too is encouraging. What makes you say that? Easier to handle by yourself? I've owned my Dauntless 15 for 6 years now. It will ...

Jefecinco

As a former Dauntless 16 owner I'll add my voice to those recommending this wonderful small boat. I agree with all the positive statements and I agree with those recommending you buy a 16 with a 115 HP engine. A good two stroke ...

GoldenDaze

I could go on and on about the Dauntless 16, having just finished up my 13th season with mine. Although it is only a foot longer than the Dauntless 15, if you look at them side-by-side the 16 is huge in comparison. It is extremely capable ...

Buoy

I've owned both and the 16' Dauntless is significantly more capable handing the chop and rougher seas and the additional storage is a nice bonus. If you can, find one with a 115hp as I thought the 90hp was a bit underpowered.

Go for it!

My 170 Montauk on it's factory trailer with swing tongue is 20' 4" - If you shorten the bow stop or have custom made bow stop and move the bunks forward - I think you might be able to get the length where you need it. You might need to move the axle forward also to get the correct tongue weight...
