Given that the complete hull and gunnels are foam filled, there are not many options. Consider: Drill the bottom of the handrail adjacent to the mount. Run the wires down in to the handrail and fish it forward and then to the gunnel cap. Have the wire exit the rail close to the rail base and as clos...

Okay, I will say what everyone is thinking.

Whaler is absolutely NUTS charging such a ridiculous price for a measly 19 gallon tank.

Phil T

Humor me on this. Call Sue Lodel, Parts Manager at Twin Cities Marine.

While the design elements appear to be well done and allows a clean install, the option price, at first read, is a shocker.

Phil T

It does not appear to be a Moeller, Specter, Attwood or Bainbridge brand.

Is the boat in the US?

The Raider 22 model is based on a modified Outrage 22 hull and was built by CPD. Review this reference article for details and photos: http://continuouswave.com/whaler/cetacea/cetaceaPage35.html The general specs for the Outrage 22 would apply with small changes in hull weight and swamped capacity d...

Propeller sizing is standard but performance is not universal across brands and models of props due to blade design. (e.g. a prop from Company x in a size of 13x16 will not necessarily perform the same as a prop in that same size/material from Company B.) 4 blade props have superior grip and are mos...

Archie - If you want to know if the interesting features are factory installed, contact Boston Whaler Customer Service. Katie and Chuck may be able to clarify a bit. Providing the HIN is important. Let us know what you find out. https://www.bostonwhaler.com/marketing/contact-customer-service/

As you can see in the Specification table from the Reference Section, http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/specifications.html , the Outrage 21, available from 1970-1982, had a maximum hp rating from the factory of 200 hp. Given the desired increase to 225hp is only marginally more than the fa...

In case readers are wondering, Mount Pearl is in Newfoundland, near St John's.

Phil T

IF the boat is totally empty as is the vehicle, you could do the run to the local ramp at low speeds BUT you need to be very careful with braking. Make sure the trailer is level when hooked up. You may need to do some measurements with a level to figure out the correct rise of the ball mount. Long d...

I would add a rubber material on the inside of the sheet metal U that Jim describes to protect the gelcoat.

BW -

Sorry - I would have given a bit different advice had I known you are in Norway.

When running a prop calculator note that most of the Whaler prop gurus I know use 5% for slip.

What other brand of props are readily available? Are you near a major city like Oslo or Bergen with many dealers?

Phil T

In addition to prop pitch, you need to pay attention to the diameter, the brand and model of prop AND engine mounting height. While not an expert, a Bravo prop are associated with sterndrives. I would contact a Evinrude dealer that has prop experience who can give you recommendations. As for engine ...

Having sea trialed a Montauk 150 and also cruised on Long Island sound, I would agree with Acseatsri and go LARGER. While there are many calm days, if the winds are blowing right, waves can build with the long fetch. The Montauk 150 is, in my opinion, underpowered. It is also not long enough, LOA. Y...

Matt - The OEM rod back cushions have a flap on both sides. At the top and bottom of each flap is a male end of button snap that attached to the female end of the snap that is screwed into the end grain of the teak block. You may want to do a mock up of the cushion and rod holder and teak block to e...

Phil T

That is a Guardian model. Based on the classic Outrage 20 or 22 made from mid to late 1980's.

A great boat.

Phil T

Archie - To gain access to the cover, you need access the screws under the console. Build a platform that spans the width of the cover that is 12' tall. Jack the console and t-top up and then slide the platform underneath. This would give you clearance to remove the cover. If it were me, I would der...

There are many instances of sellers mis-labeling Boston Whaler boats as well as calling boats a Boston Whaler when they are not. Please post a photo of the candidate boat and we can determine what model it is. Boston Whaler produced several models called Outrage that were ~21' LOA. 21' Outrage - 197...

Knowing the roads from CT to NC/VA border I would be very careful. The loaded weight will be ~ 1,500 - 1700 lbs including the trailer. This assumes the boat is empty of gear, drained fuel tanks. Don't load the car with stuff. Test the car's stopping ability before the trip. You will want to avoid NY...

Can you post or email me a photo so I can refine my DIY removal ideas

Phil T

There is a drain in the recessed bilge pocket in front of the splashwell bulkhead that exits down, slightly off the centerline.

Phil T

Is it water draining from the bilge drain? Check the thru bilge hull on the bottom of the keel. It may have been damaged. You want to inspect all the drain tubes and the small rubber O ring at each end. If the O ring shows cracks, the drain tube and ring should be replaced. ...re-bed with 5200... Ok...

The beam of a Montauk 170 I (2002-2017) is 6'10", 7'3" for the Montauk 170 II (2018+)

The beam of the 80's Revenge models are 7'5"

If I were to guesstimate, I would say yes. Given the investment, an actual measurement of the seat would be wise.

Phil T

Personally, painting the inside really degrades the value. It does not hold up as well as the original gelcoat. The floor appears to be modified in creating some type of a riser for the seat. Not sure why. As a "custom" 16'7 hull that has been painted, older carb'ed 2 stroke, I think it is...

While there are no laws against exceeding the capacity plate, you should verify your insurance carrier will concern coverage. There are many insurance companies, so don't fret if your current insurer declines. Take a look at this archived thread: http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/006494.html...

Arch--With only four years of production (1994 to 1998) in the recreational line, I can see information is limited.

Keep in mind not every year of a model has all the drawings. E.G. The Montauk 170 I was offered from 2002 - 2017. The Montauk 170 II is from 2018 forward.

What is truly disconcerting is the new 130 SuperSport is totally underpowered. Look at the specs. The classic 13 Sport, built from 1972-1993 had a dry weight of 320 lbs. and a maximum horsepower rating of 40 hp. (cf: http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/specifications.html#hulls9-17 ).

Any Boston Whaler boat that has a trolling motor panel came with the factory option, if available. The entire hull, gunwales, and bow area are foam-filled, so cutting an inspection port is not recommended. If you do a search on "bow trolling install" you will find that most owners installe...

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.

Phil T

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.

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.

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...
