I know this is a real newbie question but here goes:
Looking at a very nice 1996 17' Outrage with a Yamaha 130 at a good price (end of season). I really like it, but also see lots of 1996 17' Montauk's for sale.
My question is about the handling. Going to be using the boat in Long Island's Peconic Bay with my kids (adult) around Shelter Island. Usually not real rough (usual bay seas).
I have the specs and know the Outrage is wider.
How will a 1996 Outrage handle vs. a Montauk?
Was the 1996 Outrage a more expensive boat at the time of sale?
Thoughts about the 2 stroke Yamaha 130?
Any general thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Steve
