Boston Whaler produced the early hulls truly by hand. Finished weights varied significantly boat to boat until the adoption of computers, foam injector machines and other modern manufacturing processes. How the boat sits in the water is a good indicator of general condition. If it sits, fully rigged...

You will need to cut out the broken portion, build a wooden form for the missing bit, grind the the fiberglass back and rebuilt both sides and the gunnel cap. Once done, pour 4lb foam in the cavity. You will need a sprue hole for the excess to escape then cover and spray gelcoat. It is important to ...

Fred -

[edit - deleted non-applicable information given due to misreading the initial post.]

For the specific gas strut, I would give Sue a call at Twin Cities or reach out to Nauset Marine.

P.S. I take it you are away from your boat and can't look at what you have.

Phil T

The starboard side is original.

The only source for replacements that I am aware of is http://www.specialtymarine.com/BOSTON-WHALER-STAND-OFF-STANCHION-BACKING-PLATE-p153.html

I doubt they will match OEM so you may want to replace both and keep the original just in case.

Phil T

The beam on both boats is NOT the same.

The 235 has a beam of 8'6".

The 255 has a beam of 8'9"

You would really need to measure closely.

In addition to the comments above. Last weekend I spent the day aboard a friend's Nantucket/Outrage 190 with a large bimini on the Potomac River in Maryland.

Have you already reviewed the engine mounting height, prop selection and trim tabs to refine what you have to as good as it gets? Some find their setup was garbage) and changing one or more of the three items mentioned resulted in a huge improvement.

If you already did the above.....nevermind.

If you have not greased the cable in the last year, do NOT replace it. It just needs lubrication. If you don't have a zerk grease fitting, see this excerpt from an article I wrote on frozen steering, The steering cable has two parts, an outer sleeve and an inner cable/rod. The sleeve bolts on to the...

Nick - It is understandable. Today I went to a local marine store (in KY) to look for a replacement PFD to take on my trip to see Henry, aka The Yiddil this weekend. Oh my.

You don't say which models or year? New, classic or post-classic. If you are going to run a charter operation, you will need gear that will not fit in a 16'-17'. There is not much room for 5 people in a 17. It will be very crowded. You will want stability, ability to move around the boat. Space for ...

Fenx -

Based on owner comments, I would start with 17". Look at your engine mounting height too when making your final decision.

Phil T

Skip - The tube is originally sealed. Is there a problem?

Phil T

While the 130 Sport (model naming changed ~ 2002) is an improvement, it will not be significant.

What really makes a difference is LOA and deadrise. A 13' is still a 13'.

Try finding one of the many 17' models. My Montauk 17 beat my brothers 13' Sport every day.

Phil T

It happens.

After ~35 years, you might want to treat yourself to a new one.

Anderson's makes replacements with the original tan pleating and piping. Whaler quality. Call/email Tena.

I never use 4200 or an adhesive. Always a sealant.

My preference is Boat Life brand.

Nick--How about throwing some bags of sand in the splashwell to simulate the new weight and see how she comes off plane and backs down into waves.

The Newport 17 has a max horsepower rating of 100. There were no transom weight limits or ratings back in that day. Presuming your transom is dry and in good shape, any recreational 90-HP outboard will be acceptable. While there was a concern with Honda's 90 hp model, the BF90 has been redesigned an...

Nick -

This is great news.

I ran an F115 on my last Outrage 17. While a decent motor, you will probably not like it's WOT performance. You may remember that Tony had one on his Outrage 18.

Are you thinking Tohatsu?

According to the specification sheet from Boston Whaler, the 1995 Outrage 24 does take a XXL, or 30", shaft. As for your measurements, are you measuring down to the flat plate that is just above the prop and where the trim anode is installed? If so, has the transom been cut down? Would a photo ...

Just for the record. Owners with this model and engine combination recommend these props. Engine mounted 2 holes up. 13" x 17" Yamaha Painted Stainless Steel *** 13-1/4" x 16" Yamaha Performance Series Three Blade 13-1/4" x 15" Turbo 1 4.25 ***OP reports this is his prop.

Your engine is not operating properly.

Most likely you are only running on 2 cylinders, not 3.

The expected WOT performance with your setup is 39-43 mph @ 5400 rpm'.

Phil T

To test the new engine weights, simulate it by adding bags of sand,gravel, jugs of water to the splashwell.

Consider DFI as well as 4 strokes.

Phil T

I recommend new owners use their boat for a season before doing any mods/upgrades. Gives you a chance to refine what you want.

Phil T

Reads like: Engine running on 2 cylinders or very bad prop selection/mounting height. No such thing as "standard" aluminum prop. This hull tends to have significant bow rise. Adding hydraulic tabs will solve it as will a 4 bladed prop. Read these threads: http://continuouswave.com/forum/vi...
