No, I never had that problem......... :D

I have had 3 boats in my driveway at one time deciding on which one I was going to keep.
1978 Montauk 17', 1985 Outrage 18', 1997 Outrage 17' II

My wife and I tried them all out.
We decided on the Outrage 18'.

Since then we tired another 1986 Outrage 18' with twins.
Another 1989 Outrage 20'
Another 1989 Outrage 22' Cuddy

I liked all the Whalers we had but the best one that fit our needs was the Outrage 18'...

I also really liked the Outrage 22' Cuddy but my wife told me she was never going to sleep in it with me. I wanted to tell here "I was sure going to miss her" but then I figured if I told her that I would be sleeping in the Cuddy the rest of my life instead of in the house. B)

Unless I move to much bigger water, the Outrage 18' is it for us...
