Hope this gives you a little more info... Good luck... DaveS

The difference is clear when you see, for example, a 21 Outrage next to a 22 Dauntless. The Outrage has at least an extra 12+ inches of freeboard. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

I found the Dauntless to be a great family boat given it's wide stern seat and bow area. It also has the openness for fishing 360. A good choice if you don't go offshore. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
