    Any of you boating experts care to comment ?

    We just spent three weeks in Florida ( boated one day in Naples and one in Lauderdale ) - saw a ton of Whalers and a few Robalos …

    I’ve been looking online and my girlfriend just bought a 2024 BW 15 Montauk - we love it for just rippin’ around on quiet days - just such easy boating - hose it out and go.

    Having said that, anyone have any experience in say the 21-25 foot range ? BW makes a 21 Montauk and a 23 & 25 Dauntless. Robalo makes the R23 & R25. Just from the online pictures, the Robalos look a bit fancier ?

    They are both great boats. Boston Whaler has the rep. You can't go wrong.

    Mike I have owned many Boston Whalers and depending on what are looking for the 23 or 25 Dauntless is a great boat had a 23 from 2008 till
    Last year very safe riding boat. The Mauntauk is ok also but never had one .. the outrage series are great also and maybe better for heavy ocean use I have owned a couple of 35 outrages and currently have 2018…..
    The Robalo is probably fine I have not owned any …
    I would go BW SAFEST BOAT ON THE WATER OF ITS TYPE.
