Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos

I am currently repowering with a 200 HP E-Tec on my Dauntless 220. I have 2 questions or really 3.

1 - Does anyone currently run a Dauntless 220 with an E-Tec?

2 - If so, what kind of prop works well? (1st try will be my Mirage from old OptiMax)

3 - Was unable to get the oil reservoir mounted in the same place as old mercury so we mounted it in the back with batteries.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Steve,

Yes, I am sure somebody, somewhere has a Dauntless 220 with an E-TEC.

The MIRAGEplus is a good type of propeller to try. Try it and see how it does. There are many other propeller types you could try as well. Experimentation is the bets way to find a really good fit. You'll need to provide a lot more information before we can have a propeller fitment discussion.
