1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

How fast will your whaler run?

One thing I found funny was that I could actually get a half mph or so more speed when moving the wheel back and forth ever so clightly while running at speed. It reall felt faster, especially with a bit of chop. Anyone else notice this? I cruise 35 or so and that is fine with hme.

I'm curious to run her with just me aboard and maybe a half tank of fuel with cooler weather and smooth water. Just seems every time I get her out in water with no speed limit, its a bit rough. I'm limited to 25 mph in most of the intercoastal near where I keep the boat.
