Yes you can cut a Boston Whaler in two and drive away in the half with the engine.

Boston whaler outrage vs dauntless. Dimension and Production Information. The Whaler uses closed cell foam and should not soak up water. Outrage a bit taller wider at the top and overlap the interior hull.

But unsinkability means more than just the unmatched safety of Unibond hull construction. Boston Whaler have completely side stepped the usual criticism of boats like this one with a moulded inner liner. They tend to be heavier then the Montauk design.

Just how big of a difference does a couple feet of LOA make. The 23 outrage handles the big stuff a bit better in most conditions but handled like a big boat vs a performance boat I didnt like the way it tended to bowsteer in quartering and following seas. This boat is 27 ft 4 inches in length and it can accommodate 12 passengers with a weight capacity of 3349 lbs taking a 600 hp engine.

The Outrage 18 was one of the smallest boat to offer an integral fuel system. Well equipped for watersports inshore and offshore fishing this bay boat comes with a host of amenities and options to suit your specific on-water pursuits. The Outrage you are looking at is probably heavier and has a bigger motor rating than my boat which has a 115.

Later integral fuel tanks were added to even smaller boats such as the Outrage 17 and Dauntless 16 models Most smaller Whalers carry their fuel in on-deck fuel tanks but the Outrage 18 featured an integral aluminum tank built into a hull cavity. Dates marked 1997 should be interpreted as through 1997 and possibly after as the period between 1997 and the present has not been thoroughly researched. The hull design is more a near shore versus the offshore design of the Outrage line.

The Dauntless gunnel I dont think is wide enough for a rod holder. The downside to the Outrage is that it is set up more towards fishing rather that the whole family. A Pro version of the Dauntless 240 is available with added features for pilot control and angling efficiency for sports fishermen.
