Overall, I've been very happy and never felt unsafe. Haven't taken a wave over the bow yet. Generally, we pick our days and avoid seas greater than 10'.

For a few reasons, one was price, it was a leftover 2007. The other were creature comforts, lots more on the Dauntless. As far as ride and handling I thought they were pretty close. I give the Dauntless a slight edge for ride softness. 2007 Dauntless 180-2007 Mercury Verado 150

If I was going to get a Montauk 190, I'd opt for a classic 20 or better yet a 22. I know someone with a 2 year old Verado that needed a new trim unit and Mercury wouldn't honor the warranty because they said it was due to corrosion. Edited by Phil T on 11/17/09 - 4:32 AM

I own a 17, and I just launched a 190 this past spring. The difference is not so much in the length, but rather the 190 beam width. I just love the 190. You can view my 190 project over in the Project Albums on this website.
