Re: 1986 OUTRAGE 18 Replace Deck with PVC Sheet; New Fuel Tank

UPDATE JULY 2021. The 1985 OUTRAGE 18 is running great. The fuel tank is dry. The deck still looks good, is super-stiff, and no rot is possible. All boat systems are good. In retrospect, the fuel tank should have been fabricated 4-inches shorter to leave room at the aft end to install a deck access...

Re: West System Epoxy

Optimal time of year to buy a used outboard engine

What time of year is best for selection and value when buying used outboard engines? To my mind, influential factors would include: (1) winter vs summer and (2) repower season (spring) vs non-repower season (the assumption being that more good take-offs are on the market. I think December is best fo...

Re: FS: 1987 Outrage 18 "Project" for $4,500 in Florida

For others benefit; I went to see this project Outrage 18 a few months ago, in person. I found the hull to be a solid project, paused in mid-restoration, but very assumable. The work done so far was careful and well executed and with quality (west systems) materials. The motor is in really nice shap...

Re: Interpreting Alarm Sounder Meaning

I would humbly submit that 4,000 rpms is too tame a test drive to determine if you have a high speed overheat. Run it at 5,000 rpms for 20 minutes or so and see if you get an overheat.

Overheat; the thermostat switch in the head closes at about 180-degrees-F. It is easy to ...
