New Whaler model ......... 370 Outrage video on the water
Will debut at the Miami Boat Show ........
24 degrees deadrise at the transom. For sure more of a crossover boat fishing/cruising. The other power option is triple 350's. http://whaler.tv/play.php?vid=134

I went on it at the CC. It is absolutely monsterous sitting inside on blocks. Huge crowd around it yesterday. Looks kind of strange with outboards hanging off that big of boat.

Nice looking cuddy below too. Innovative hatch integrated into the front console seating for rod storage, but also opening up some head rom down below. I hope they sell a few there!

450K as it sit at the show....amazing what whaler thinks a boat is worth....
At that price lots of competition, in board diesels, not to mention, yellowfins, sea vees, intrepids, etc. Lots of clutter up in the bow to function as a fishing boat.
Re: New Whaler model ......... 370 Outrage video on the water
I still do not know why Whaler insists on having such a huge chine. I would be willing to bet this boat rides worse than its competition in Contender, Sea Vee, Venture, Edgewater, Bahama, YF, and Everglades. No doubt the features are VERY Impressive, but hull design still has me scratching my head.
RE: New Whaler model ......... 370 Outrage video on the water
Taking the money out of it(I know you can't but lets pretend....Ok?) , it does have some really really neat features. Someone spent some time on the design and thought a few things thru.
Any of big boat CCguys impressed by any of it? Any of those new features help offshore fisherguys in the grand scheme of things? I don't reallyknow if they do since all we do is idle around with downriggers at 90fttrying tohook up to a 20lbSalmon.
I would say that the initial performance numbers are...........shall we say..........sluggish..... compared to the other boats they are competing with. Yes?
