Goodmorning Joe,
The 18 outrage is here(Caribbean) at my home. The 19 outrage I am looking at
will be used in Whitefish,Monatana (Flathead lake is the largest "natural" fresh water lake west of the Mississippi) and also utilized for spring salmon runs over in Vancouver island. I have thought of the outrage 22 but nothing has presented itself with my idea of the right power, also the "potter" 23 seacraft would be more desirable to me in this footage. Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

Richard,
If you end up purchasing the 19 Outrage II, hopefully you will offer us your first hand impressions of how it compares to your Outrage 18. It's rare to get that sort of feedback from someone who owns both models simultaneously, so it would be especially valuable and welcome.
Some say the extra weight of the 19 Outrage II makes for a better/softer ride, but I have no basis of comparison to comment on that. I do have a friend who is in the hunt for a Whaler, and was originally looking at Outrage 18s. After riding in my boat several times, he has changed his mind and wants a 19 Outrage II. He feels the Outrage 18 is a bit barebones by comparison, and lacks many of the convenient seating and storage features of the 19 Outrage II. I suppose that is more a matter of personal preference than anything else, though.
Good luck with your purchase and be sure to let us know your impressions please.
