Welcome to Whaler Central and congrats on your "new" Outrage 190!

Nice boat. But yes, it will definitely feel smaller than what you are used to. On any smaller boat, you have to get creative with storage. I own a classic Outrage 19, and one thing that helps is the canvas dodger over the bow platform. Day bags, etc get tossed up under that and are well-protected from the elements. So that might be one improvement to consider.

I can see how the Montauk 190 would compete with the Outrage 190. Unlike the smaller Montauks, the 190 has a built-in fuel tank that frees up deck space and makes it feel like a big step up. But your Outrage 190 still has a deeper V design in the hull, so it should give a smoother ride and handle seas a bit better. And if you enjoy fishing the Outrage is geared a bit more toward that.

Enjoy your new boat!
