1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

Almost pulled the trigger on a 2000 EdgeWater 185CC a couple of weeks back but got scared off by some conditional/maintenance concerns. This whaler is beyond my budget but I would feel safer in a 20 and am willing to over extend myself a little more to get a whaler. A couple of questions: 1.) I have heard that there are a range of years where there were transom issues; any truth to that or was I misinformed? 2.) Probably a good idea to have a survey done; are the fuel tanks a problem area? Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated as I go take a look at this boat today.
