i work on a bunch of whalers, some I like, some I don't. The 13 is a waste of time, the 15 is probably the best sit down boat in its class, the 17 Montauk is too small, the 17 Outrage is much better. The 18 and 20 Outrage's are pretty awesome, just the fuel tanks rot in them. One thing I have noticed is they don't have a lot of glass in them, a whole lot less than you would think, but that's whats makes them light and perform well. The dauntless series are all pigs, way too heavy and require big motors to make them work. And as a two time McKee owner, I have to admit, the whalers are better boats than the Mckee's, but I have yet to find a whaler I could trade a 6 pack of beer for
