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.

This is a severe Temptation

Member Personal Page Posts: 38 Comments: 0 Joined: 06/26/06	Well, the temptation was whalers attempt at aiming for this market, just not this extreme. Here is another thread about it... so far 68mph, and lost a hub. Plenty of porpoise after 55mph. maybe it needs some performance tabs. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2424680#post2424680

Nose just seemed to want to trade places with the stern, and of course, i wasn't driving which added to the concern.............. Nope, i hang in the 50's with about 2000 lbs wrapped around me! Duf

Nope not mine, but pretty cool and I see no sign of the dreaded "chinewalk" that every 15 owner out there says happens above 45 mph. I think I'm going to sell the 90 and drop a V6 Merc on mine for summer. If that was Whalers attempt at a sport cruiser, I think they got it pretty darn close. This owner just kicked it up a notch or two (or a dozen lol) On the hunt for a classic 19 or 21 Whaler

Some might not like the temptations but I always have. I bet that thing SCREAMS in traditional merc fashion! I have to admit the sounds any merc I have ever heard produce warms my heart. That is why I love running the twin XR6's on the guardian. Looking around you tube I found one video of twin Opti 300XS's running and it sounds like an entire squadron of WWII war planes.
