I've always loved classic whalers- they are what I think of when I hear Boat., but there is a 2000 18 Dauntless that looks good and for decent price, any comments about the quality, utility? We like to fish, tube ski, mostly lakes but Lake champlain can get choppy?
I have a 1998 18 dauntless, have had it for 15 years ….great boat very well made ,if you can get it at a good price grab it …what motor how many hours ?
My friend has a 1998 18 Dauntless and it is bulletproof. His has a 2006 Evinrude 150 on it and it is more than enough motor for that boat, IMO. If the motor is sound and the price is right, I'd go for it.
i have a 1998 Dauntless 18 with a 2003 Evinrude 150 17P prop WOT is 48mph it has a jackplate so the motor is jacked up just right i cruze at 28 or 30 its solid its fairly dry in the heavy chop very stable for fishing
(please follow guideline #1 on the front page and use the full 4 digit year for everything)
