Any recommendations for a replacement for a 94 Dauntless 15 w/94 70 HP Johnson? Need to order one quick before vacation in 12 days. Mike

What size prop do you have on it now and are you happy with it's performance? What are you using the boat for, skiing and tubing, cruising, etc.? Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

The Stiletto will tolerate a higher motor mounting height. I'm not sure about the Dauntless 15, but I suspect the motor could be two or three holes up with the Stiletto Advantage.
