LMS337C to Unknown External Device

I have a Lowrance LMS 337C with blue plugs in the back. The [external] GPS [device] does not plug in. The [external GPS device] has a four-pole plug, whereas the [LMS337C] has a five-pole terminal that says "NETWORK." Q1: is there a network cable that plugs into the [LMS337C] on one end an...

Re: Powering a Boat Above Maximum Horsepower Rating

I had a 1987 Montauk 17 with a 2001 Johnson 90-HP on the back, and it was scary-fast. Not so much the top speed, but the acceleration from a standing start was ridiculous. You had to feather the throttle to keep from throwing people out of the boat. I imagine that an E-TEC 115 would be similar. I en...

Re: Outrage Clone

I only asked about the origins of it because of it's blatent similarity. I thought it might have been built under license. I had no idea you could LEGALLY steal...

Re: Outrage Clone

Jim, Thanks for the reply. Good information. The [HIN] number starts out with "YSIC", and is titled as a Sailfish. I saw the boat today, and was surprised. The hull, transom, and decks are rock-solid. What looked like deep scratches in the hull were just black marks from black trailer roll...

Outrage Clone

Greetings all! New to the forum, but have admired Boston Whalers for many years. I have been looking for a small runabout in the 17 to 18-foot range for bay fishing, and I came across a boat that looks exactly like a 1990 Outrage, but it says "Sailfish" on the side. Not sure what to think....
