After much pleading from my family (wife and 4 kids) I am finally ready to pull the trigger on a small versatile boat for the kids to fish, ski, etc. I am pretty well decided on a whaler. I've been looking around for about 2 months and have come across a new leftover 2008 190 Outrage with the T-top, trailer, 150 Verado, trim tabs, and fishing package for 29,900. I have two basic questions. Is the Outrage 190 a reasonable option for my needs and 2) is this a reasonable price (which it seems to be)? Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I had that boat with a Yamaha F150. See my personal page. I wish I still had mine. I had traded up and traded up and traded down and traded down again. If I controlled my impulses I would be ahead on money AND Boat. It is a great boat. Beefy. Heavy. Sure-footed.

I would buy it..sounds like a good deal and yes it's one of the best boats out there for the needs you cited. My family of 5 boys thoroughly enjoyed our Whaler..we did it all. Good luck!
