I bought mine just a few weeks ago and have been detailing a few things here and there to spruce it up a notch. Fortunately for me the previous owner really pampered the Dauntless so there hasn't been much for me to do to it. Well that's it for now, Happy Thanksgiving to Whaler Central members and their families. 1996 Dauntless 15, Sportsman Pkg. - 2007 Yamaha 90 HP 2-Stroke

Almost overpowered with the 75. Anyone with good mod ideas ...PLEASE LET ME KNOW... I have had the boat for about six months.

I was very please, its was like adding 2 feet to the boat. I fish alot in the bays, and it can get pretty choppy, but the smart tabs act as shocks on back and help settle the boat. the boat also picked up a little speed when i took the fin of the motor. i am still messing with the settings a little to tune it in, but so far very happy with the mod. anyone else have any ideas

Have you experienced this and did this help? Been to cold to try mine to see if it is a significant problem. Mike

I am thrilled to finally join the Whaler team and look forward to many years of fishing in this great little skiff. Dave New Owner - 1995 15' Dauntless w/ Suzuki 70 HP EFI four stroke
