CONTINUOUSWAVE

I ran with my daughter and myself onboard today, which is about 260 lbs, and the true "top" speed reading I got was around 36-39 mph. It's a stock 3-blade prop, not SS, so nothing special. Trust me, I am tempted to repower with one of those new, high-performance, light Yamaha 115HP 4-strok...

I like the 90-HP on that boat. I'm getting up to probably a little under 40MPH, but that's with a couple adults and children onboard. I'm going to try a solo drive soon so see what I get there, but the last owner claimed mid 40's with one person onboard. A few people have claimed that they need the ...

I see in the specs that the beam is 7'1" and draft is 11". I love this 2002 boat with 2007 Honda 90. I've taken it out every day since I bought it last week. Here are your specs:

Thanks for the description! I ended up getting the 160 but I'm going to have to get a different trailer that's similar so that the boat sits low enough to get it in the garage. I'm ecstatic to be a Whaler owner again!

Thanks SO much for the replies and insight, guys. I should be back to being a Whaler owner in the next few days.

[What is the] approximate on-trailer height of the 2002 Dauntless 160 and the 1999 Dauntless 180? I'm looking at these two models. Can they fit into a garage with an entry with about 82-inches height clearance? I'm not worried about the length of the boats, as I am using a two-car garage and can fit...
