Which one? http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...owstart=20 Montauk 17' Montauk 170 Outrage 17' I Outrage 17' II That is one of the reasons we have the Guidelines at the top of this page so we all know what boat the question is about.

Whaler never used a name using inches or decimals. 13', 15', 16', 17', 18', etc. http://www.whalercentral.com/faq.php?...p?cat_id=5

Just need to get the boat home later today. I will try the suggested distances to start and see if I need to adjust at the ramp when I get the boat there. Thanks Paul
