It means premium experiences and comfort year in and year out whether youre fishing.

Boston whaler outrage vs dauntless. Below the gunnel on the inside it is fairly smooth down to the hull no real place to put your toes while fishing. For me the main difference between the two of similar size is the gunnels. The downside to the Outrage is that it is set up more towards fishing rather that the whole family.

I think Outrage is superior to Dauntless but others will argue. The Whaler uses closed cell foam and should not soak up water. There are an awful lot of anglers out there with small center consoles 19 21 or even 23-footers like the Boston Whaler 230 Outrage which get the job done but leave you wishing for a slightly larger boatlike the 250 Outrage.

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 Dauntless gunnel I dont think is wide enough for a rod holder. They are designed for different things- the Dauntless is a bayflats type boat that can be used offshore on reasonable days.

Boston Whaler the Unsinkable Legend started in 1958 with a 13-footer and today offers five linesthe Super Sport Montauk Dauntless Outrage and ConquestSizes range from the 110 Tender to the 420 Outrage a seriously capable fishing boat that is also a luxurious platform for pleasure cruising. Its a 1999 Boston Whaler 18 Outrage powered by a Mercury OptiMax 135 2-stroke and it had been a freshwater boat with just 250 hours on the engine. The Dauntless line is marketed as a family boat with more seating and comfort.

They tend to be heavier then the Montauk design. Yes there is a toes in under overhang to brace against because the 240 Outrages sides have carefully placed bolsters and special moulded inserts set into each side. The price was 16000.

Westervelt found the boat in Boston on craigslist in fall 2008 and took delivery last spring. 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. The Outrage is more of an offshore boat.
