A mint (not painted), all-original SPORT 15 sport with newish trailer and a non-rebuilt well-maintained 2003 outboard engine is not worth $9,000.

There are just too many things. Maybe $2,000 to $3,000.

Phil T

Assuming two years, even if outside, have the owner fire up the engine in a barrel.

If the engine has been maintained, serviced seasonally, and had a recent carburetor cleaning and synchronization, it should be fine.

Phil T

Oh my god, it's another Y2K scenario. That was painful from an IT perspective.

Phil T

The rail is screwed into the fiberglass cap and backing material, either marine plywood or phenolic board.

Check all your railing screws.

How is it possible to lift the rail base, there should be 2 screws per rail base.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Sorry - it is not Elite, rather Marine Ultra.

It appears the only difference between the Marine and the Ultra is the handles, hinges and closing mechanism. Given the price difference, it may be cheaper to order the Marine series and replace the hinges and latch with the Ultra replacement parts.

Here is the page where you can order replacement latches and hinges.

Mark--the original cooler was a 86-quart Igloo Marine series. Igloo modified this design by changing the lid and increasing the size to 94-quart. The width and length are the same as the 86-quart. Owners of classic Montauk's, including me, who have the rod holders and cushions are told when replacin...

While the E-TEC 90hp is a very good engine with many members reporting positive feedback, I personally would go with the "last" Yamaha 90hp offering. My rationale is: -reliable -can DIY with parts - cheaper - no need to replace or adapt cables, harnesses, gauges etc. - personal experience ...

It is worth noting that purchasing a Boston Whaler is NOT similar to purchasing an automobile. While dealers used to offer inventory onsite, floor financing arrangements have been reduced. Most dealers have a display model of several models and all sales are ordered. With models not changing for sev...

It would help members to know where you are located since shipping/transportation is very tricky.

The classic Outrage models with the standard and super consoles included two rectangular switch plates on the flat face. The two shown in your photo are original to the boat.

Here is a comparison photo:

While you can't find these plates off the shelf, they are very easy to make DIY.

Phil T

I have seen the rigging flange in two variations. A full oval and 2 halves. My Outrage 17 had two halves. One on the deck floor, one on the console shelf. I took both and made a full oval and installed it on the rigging opening on the deck and didn't use anything in the console. I doubt one is still...

Without knowing a half-dozen pieces of information, we can't answer the questions.

Here is a great reference chart that may help.

Long gel coat cracks like those in the photo can be from a thick coating. You could grind each out a bit and reapply gelcoat or just leave as is.

For prop suggestions, we want to know size but also make and model too since prop size/performance is not universal. From very long archived thread, here is the salient information : Note information is from 2013 so prices are not accurate. The Stilleto Advantage is no longer available, do not recom...

Phil T

First of all, what size are the motor shafts? 20 or 25 inch?

Can you take a photo from astern that shows the mounting holes in relation to the transom and bracket?

FWIW - Each hole raised will result in raising WOT RPM's by ~150-200.

Phil T

Don--historically, members have used SeaFoam to treat their classic, carburetor two-stroke engines when the engines have low RPM use and they want to "blow out" the carbon. The electronically controlled DFI two-stroke E-TEC with all its sensors and algorithms is a totally different machine...

Phil T

Over the years I recall many conversations concerning weight sensitivity in certain Dauntless hulls. I would use the archived search engine to do some searches to verify or dispel this concern.

Phil T

After you wash the boat, using a standard garden hose and a basic cleaner like Simple Green, wipe your finger across the dry gelcoat in several places. Is there a chalky substance on your finger tip?

The answer will help with specific cleaning techniques and product recommendations.

Phil T

Josh--I think we are all wondering what is the official explanation from Boston Whaler. Why there is plastic sheeting under the gel coat?

In terms of repair, how large an area was repaired? And was it only a gelcoat repair or was there fiberglass work, too?

Phil T

Keith's company is based in New Smyrna Beach if that helps.

Since he is a new member, you may want to call him/email directly.

Phil T

The published weights for classic models include the hull and standard features but do not include dealer installed motor or rigging. Actual hull weights varied, sometimes significantly, since the hull was hand laid fiberglass and hand poured foam. In more recent days, with the introduction of autom...

When I designed my mooring hardware, I asked adjacent mooring owners in the same field what they were using for gear. I supplemented this information with product information from my local chandlery.

Phil T

In my experience, the ones recommending impeller changes every 1-3 years are in the replacement business. If running in salt and don't flush the engine I say 3-4 years as a precaution.

I prefer OEM branded parts.

Phil T

I recall years ago a member bought a whaler here in the states and had it shipped to the UK via container.

In his case, it was an inspection/paperwork exercise.

Like Jim suggested, calling Boston Whaler Customer Service is a good idea.

Phil T

There are no cleats on a 13 Sport. Owners should use the bow eye for their bow line. A second line can be attatched to the norman pin. For a stern line, use the outside transom eyes. If you need a spring line (amidships) some tie the line around the seat. The fenders in the photo are deployed horizo...

Phil T

Oh Bob, you are naughty!

Consider the price of this versus a weld repair. Not sure which is best.

As for the prop, have a photo?

John -

There are two good articles:

The listing is correct. An Outrage 25 is rare in Norway. When buying any Boston Whaler, there are a few things to check closely. --Through hull fittings- There are several on the transom and at leaset 2 in the hull, one a meter or so from the stern and one below the anchor locker in the bow. --deck:...

Aside - D, While I have lived in four states, I have spent the most time in South Portland and the greater Portland area. My nephew has his business in Westbrook. When I go to Maine twice a year, I refer to the trip as going home.

Phil T

Add 55 lbs of weight in the splashwell and observe the boat's trim.

Phil T

The sinking was extensively covered in my local media with five of the crew being Maine Maritime graduates and the Captain was from Windham, outside of Portland. A true shame.

Phil T

This is a duplicate post of same question in REPAIRS, the appropriate forum.

Which one? In 2000, there were two rear seating options on a Dauntless 18. The standard feature was a full width seat with backrest. The optional fishing package offered a fish box centrally located with removable fishing seat as shown below. It appears that it was only offered for a year or two. In...

While not produced in large numbers from 1991-1994, owners of a 16SL really appreciate it for its features. Some say the hull is a pre-cursor to the 2003 Montauk 170 I design.

The hardware you are looking for includes wellnuts and several washers. Review sheet 1 of the Console Sub-Assy for the 2010 Dauntless 200 that is linked below. Pay close attention to part #12,13,14 You will need 5 of each. You can find the technical description of each of these parts on sheet 9, the...

Well, your setup is stock so something is amiss.

This thread backs up the engine/prop setup.
http://www.continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/004131.html

I think you want to change the hub to a Flow Torq III Hub and retest.

The other suggestion is spark plugs and filters.

Phil T

Jim - Sent them to you.

Phil T

John - The boat was sold by the dealer with a Whaler supplied 13 3/8 x 14" Mercury SST prop. The engine was mounted by the factory is the 3rd hole down from the top, also known as "2 holes up" See this diagram for reference: http://bostonwhaler.com.s3.amazonaws.com/resources/150-Sport...

Here are two photos from Josh and an update: Just got the boat in to the shop today. I took it over to the repair person and was just planning on paying for it. The repair person said that there was some sort of plastic between the gelcoat in fiberglass that should not be there. He was thinking that...

Phil T

I think the previous owner has installed a long (20") shaft on the transom when a short shaft (15") is the correct size. Is the engine resting on the top of the transom? The standard BIA hole pattern is: The top holes are 1 7/8" down from the top and 12 7/8 apart. The lower holes to f...

Phil T

You really should pull the plug and let the boat self drain.

Any photos you care to share?

Phil T

I have always found them In the hometown hardware or local/regional chains (TruValue, Ace etc) they are typically in one of a dozen small slide out drawers of specialty hardware (covers,hole plug, grommets etc.). The big box store (Lowes, HD etc) have them also. The key name is "hole plug".

Phil T

One of the first things I did on my 1987 Montauk way back in 2003.

I recall there were 3 sizes of holes. Found them at my local hardware store.

I replaced the wood cover with a VHF.

I don't give much credance to statements that start " I’ve read that and don't include a link or description of the source. Same goes with I was told . With many under 20' boats, adding weight can inprove the ride by modifying the running angle and/or creating more mass that is less susceptible...

KEN—Congratulations. Boston Whaler 16 and 17' models used the same hull but with different interior layouts. The Montauk is the stand up center console model. There were several side console models including the Newport, Striper and Standard. http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/16-17/models.h...

Phil T

J--Congratulations. I have owned a 1991 and now a 1992.

For cushions, only one source for the right vinyl and piping. Andersons - http://www.amf.us Give Tena a call or email.

Throw up some photos so we can drool over your boat.

Phil T

I use a plastic hole plug. They come in many sizes, available at hardware store or builder supply stores.

I dab the hole with sealant to keep out any moisture.
