I would really want to see photos before I considered anything close to a transom replacement.

What is the condition of the transom through hull? Are the O rings intact? Again, photos help.

Phil T

Post a photo.

Could be a $300 repair, or a $2,000 repair.

Does the transom flex if you tilt up the motor and lift the skeg?

Phil T

Prior to visiting a dealer, I would suggest you provide us detailed information that leads you to think the transom needs future replacement. A photo or video would help us verify or dismiss this concern.

What is the history of the boat, number of owners, type of use, etc.

Phil T

The specifications for a 1995 Outrage 19 list the weight of the hull, including console and seating but not the engine, at 1900 lbs. To this number you add: -Engine -Fuel -Battery - Anchor/Rode -General gear Allowing 500 lbs for a motor and 500 for fuel and all the other gear puts you at 3,000 lbs a...

Phil T

Keep in mind the Outrage is 2' longer.

Weight and LOA helps in snot. Will not share story of how I learned this the hard way.

Keep in mind water conditions on the west coast are pretty different than the Atlantic and Gulf.

Butch -

I recall BluewaterPirate runs a 210 Ventura. Completely different hull. Longer, wider and heavier. It's a tank. Am a wrong?

Phil T

Knowing both pretty well, I say the Outrage 19. One important note. The 1992-3 Outrage 19 model is different from other models in that there is NO removeable cover to access the fuel tank. This was a short lived design change that Whaler has never repeated. There are factory instructions how to cut ...

The Dauntless has a different hull design, less V more of a U. It is a near shore hull. The Outrage series is an offshore hull, more of a V. Handles waves and swells better. Two factors in handling, length and hull design. The shorter Dauntless with the rounder hull will not be as smooth in the snot...

Phil T

For the bay, you will want an Outrage 18.

They are not easy to find and those that are for sale are expensive (compared to the rest of the country)

When I have setup my two trailers, I take into consideration: - Use frequency - Type(s) of ramps(steep, shallow) - Water type - lake, river, ocean, inside or outside no-wake zone, current, tide If used only on the shoulders of a season for launch and retrieve, bunks are ideal. Easy to outfit, inexpe...

Most of the comments [about the NANTUCKET] I recall reading from early owners "back in the day" revolved around the lack of horsepower. This time period was the transition from 2 stroke to 4 stroke and Mercury was a bit slow to market. Several Nantucket owners have repowered to 150hp or mo...

Phil T

I would use 3M4200 but only if you must.

Phil T

Why don't you pull the existing tank to really get to the bottom of it.

That is a bit of challenge for the average DIY'er.

Would adding a taped on strip help?

Phil T

Given the 1987 OUTRAGE 18 is a fresh water boat, has no bottom paint, and was not heavily modified, I proffer the boat would go for anywhere from $7,000 to $9,000. A non-Whaler enthusiast will not appreciate its condition and pedigree. Buyers from the west coast will pay more since their prices are ...

A single blinking bar is the low-fuel indicator.

Good morning Scott The typical engine, back in the day, was mounted so it sat on the transom. This was safe and easy. Over the years, some, not all, owners and dealers have discovered that raising the engine can increase performance and handling with no cost. The less engine in the water means less ...

Tommy - Keep in mind there are many members that frequent more than one Boston Whaler owner site. Dual threads often result in less advice.

Welcome to CW. Firstly, stay away from Youtube. It only shows the stupid drivers, rarely the experienced ones. As for trailering, it is important to note the often overlooked characteristic of a proper tow vehicle is not only its acceleration, but its ability to brake. The Connect is the smaller van...

Phil T

Photos of the boat at rest showing its static position will help us give you targeted advice. Veteran owners/restorer's of Boston Whaler classic models recommend against serious efforts to remove water that has infiltrated the hull. It is highly difficult to remove water without destruction/reconstr...

Phil T

With the amount of features and incredible complexity of the multitude of systems, the price is not surprising.

This is not what I would consider a "recreational" boat. It's a completely different class of boat.

Phil T

It is important to note the Guardian 17 is a recreational Montauk 17 hull with added reinforcement in strategic areas and a customizable interior offered by the Commercial Products Division (CPD) of Boston Whaler since 1983. In 2001 the division was moved to its own facility and renamed Brunswick Co...

I moved the battery from the stern to the console on my 1987 Montauk and my 1991 Outrage 17. Here is a relevant thread: http://continuouswave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3367&p=19098 Search results: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=site%3Acontinuous...

The current model of the Montauk 170 should be referred to as the Montauk 170 II to differentiate it from the 1st generation, 2003-2017.

The two models have significant differences.

Phil T

In looking at the drawings at Bostonwhaler.com for your year and model, I would suggest inside the splashwell access panel. A fuel bulb should be installed between the filter and engine. (EDIT) If the boat has a Verado engine, I would double check with a certified Verado service manager if a separat...

Phil T

This part has a frequent failure rate due to age and fatigue.

I would replace the nylon part with a stainless bimini fitting. Check the rail diameter.

Phil T

I shared with Bill what I found.

From the inside of the transom (not the splashwell) to the rear edge of the RPS foot is 48 3/4".

The distance between the RPS foot and the console is 18".

Phil T

There are off-the-shelf above-deck fuel tank models with a remote sender fuel gauge. Above-deck tanks have sight gauges.

One could modify the above deck tank or install a below deck tank and install a fill and vent. Either way it is a fair amount of work.

You might consider leaving it as is.

Phil T

Check with the Parts department of your preferred Whaler dealer.

Note - Have them double check to ensure they fit your year of the Montauk 210. I recall there were changes in 2017/8.

Phil T

Ben -

All you need to do is remove the screws, remove the rail and then reinsert the screws with a dab of marine [url]sealant[/url], not adhesive on the top of the threads, under the head.

Phil T

There are two off-the-shelf alternatives. The OEM holder is mounted flush to the blocks so you may need to modify the holder below to match the alignment of the existing holders. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/blacktip--one-piece-polypropylene-rod-holder--13090881?recordNum=13 https://www.westmarine...

Archie--you can also investigate bronze through-hull fittings. Note there may be conflicts with the transom angles preventing a metal through-hull fitting from siting flush with the surface.

The days of small Boston Whaler dealers is over. Consolidation is king and the everyday buyer takes it in the chin. In looking at Boston Whaler's new models, it is clear, profit is in the larger boats. With the six or 7 digit price, the factory wants dealers that can support this level of clientele,...

The 1985 catalog lists the Frontier 25's fuel tank as 140 gallons, same as the Guardian 25. The measurements would be identical to the large tank option on the Outrage 25. Drawings and dimensions of Outrage/Revenge fuel tanks have not been released by Whaler, CPD, or FMT. Only owners who did custom ...

It is important to note there are two different designs with the same model name. To distinguish them we refer to their models as:

Outrage 17 I (1990-1995)
Outrage 17 II (1996-1999)

While both are great, they are completely different designs.

If you are referring to the two aft quarter seats, you can get replacements through Anderson's. OEM quality.

If you are reaching the same WOT engine speed, I would proffer the following variables are affecting performance:

- sea state
- wind
- current
- air temp
- relative humidity
- strainer
- boat weight (daughter growing, fuel load, gear etc.)
