2005 2005 190 Nantucket

Step aboard and you’ll see why this 190 Nantucket has such a loyal following. The deep, secure cockpit and high interior freeboard feel reassuring when the chop kicks up, yet there’s still plenty of room to move around the console and work a line. Forward, the bow seating converts from casting platform to a comfortable lounge for cruising days, with storage tucked neatly below. The helm layout is classic Whaler—clean sightlines, easy-to-read gauges, and simple, rugged switches that are built to last. Wide walkways, sturdy grab rails, and non-skid everywhere make it a confident platform for kids, guests, and anglers alike.

In these waters, conditions can turn from glassy to lumpy in a hurry, and the 190 Nantucket’s hull is made for that kind of unpredictability. Its moderate deadrise softens the ride through tight harbor chop, while the unsinkable foam-filled construction adds peace of mind when you’re a few miles off the beach chasing stripers or blues. The size is ideal for local ramps and tighter moorings, yet it still offers a stable, dry ride across open stretches. Shallow draft lets you nose into back bays and tidal creeks, while the center console layout is perfect for weaving through channels and crowded fairways.
