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...

Re: 170 Montauk Drains
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.

Boston Whaler introduced 190 NANTUCKET at the Miami boat show in February 2003. For about a half-year all hulls produced were 2003 model year. Only the 190 was named Nantucket. The boat was re-badged as an OUTRAGE sometime in late 2005, becoming a 2006 model.
