Winlessinh,

Good question.

Just thought I would weigh with my 2 cents here. I agonized over exactly this question for some time back when we moved up to a 190 Montauk. We had owned a 17 foot 1991 Outrage and was moving up and was considering Montauk vs Outrage vs Dauntless. We read the countless posting on this site and others related to this heavily debated topic. This is what I can write....without getting too deep into the details of each boat. Our 190 has handled just about everything thrown at it in terms of ride. Yes....we do pick our days and we also have occasionally been beat up, but have still put on about 100 hours the past few summers....most under a comfortable ride. This boat (and I am sure the 210 Montauk) would handle most conditions thrown at it.

Good luck.
