I have a 1989 Outrage 22 that is in for a total recondition with Wildfire Marine Fabrication, Stuart, Florida, including raising-up the center console four-inches. The method was to add four-inches around the front port and starboard of the console where it meets the deck using fiberglass. This was ...

I had to replace a transom drain tube on a 1989 Montauk 17 [because] it had rotted and broken off in my hand when removing the plug. I took my boat to Marine Max, Stuart, Florida, where their guy they call MacGyver hooked up a wet-vac to the drain while the boat was standing bow-up high on its trail...

What my marine fabricator (Wildfire Marine, Stuart, Fl.) and I have decided to do is to fix a baitwell/bilge pump up to the OEM drain plug hole found in the aft floor scuppers on my 1989 BW Outrage 22. This will be the sea water pick-up for the live well, pumped into floor baitwell box. From there a...

Thank you both Butch and Number9 for responding back to me. I have taken your advise and ordered a "blank" motor mounting plate. I Joe I can find a local metal shop with a CNC machine to engrave BOSTON WHALER on it.
Till next time....

Butch, I did ask a local alum T-top shop if they would make me a transom tuffner using thi er CNC machine to scribe Boston Whaler; the answer was No! Not thier thing, to much time for a 1 item, and to busy. Butch your right, I had one of these BW transom tuffners on my c1989 BW Montauk in the salt o...

"Exactly like that", an aluminum transom plate engraved with Boston Whaler. Will you please tell me & others where you purchased that item? Thank you.
BarryCuda

I am looking for a metal transom plate [similar to the SPRINGFIELD heavy-duty Transom TUFF'NER] that mounts with the outboard engine bolts and is inscribed with "Boston Whaler." I have seen them; I had one on an earlier boat; I can't find it now on the worldwide interweb. Thanks for your d...

BarryCuda sent out the 2 RPS rod holder to Michael without any advance payment (trust). Michael received them as promised, met all as described, Michael sent promp payment as he promised, check cleared. Everyone Very Happy. Thanks.

Long Time No Posting. The reason I have not updated the reconditioning of my 1989 BW Outrage 22 is because I got ripped off by my Marine fabricator, paint and glass guy, Dustin Stanford of Treasure Coast Customs in Port St Lucie, Fl. Who took my 50% $4,750 upfront deposit and abandoned the project. ...

Blackfin32 and jimh, I will be proud to post pictures of my modified OUTRAGE 22 under a new post when the modifications are complete (3/17).

Ten months ago I found myself in the same situation as Blackfin32 opening comments and jimh's first response. Two years ago I sold my 1987 Montauk 17. I went to the Palm Beach Boat Show ready [to purchase] a 210 Montauk. Sleeping overnight on the decision, I rescinded my offer due to the price. I th...

We could be twins? I have the same package set-up as you do. A 170 Montauk with a "90" hp and a Ford Escape here in Fla. Like you I tow it allot on the turnpike and I-95 from Palm Beach to the Keys (155 mi run) and No Problems with breaking, transmission, suspension, or ramps. Trust your e...

[This article described a problem that occurred as a result of the author hiring Treasure Coast Customs of Port St. Lucie, Florida to perform repairs to his Boston Whaler boat. The author was not satisfied with the services rendered and is seeking a remedy through the provision of civil law.]

No Update Yet.
I am in the middle of a recondition of my 1989 BW Outrage 22' to include a live bait well, and my fiberglass fabricator went into the hospital with a kidney failure. All is on hold, and I hope he holds on. More on live bait well Later. BarryCuda

Thank you again for your wise insights, it's appreciated.
I am structurally fiberglassing in the Coosa board to transom, deck, and gunwales for aesthetics and strength.
BarryCuda

Good talking with you Michael. The two rod holders are on thier way to you now, I know you will be pleased.
BarryCuda

I just stumbled on your post of rear aft bench seating. I am just underway with the reconditioning of my 1989 Outrage 22 to include two rear aft seats like you would see in the new 210 Montauk. Like you, I, too, am using Coosa Board for its light weight, [no] water absorption, and super strength. Ad...

Sorry I am a bit slow, but as I said in an earlier post I am out of town till tomorrow. I did purchased all #4 (would not seperate) RPS SS rod holders, 10" long, 2" diam., with an off wht light tan 3/4" rubber lip around the top. Now my RPS seat back is 10.5" tall, so I used a 2&...

You are correct in your measurements. My previous 1987 Montauk 17 RPS rod holders were also 10-inches long, but had wooden plugs on the bottom of tubes. They broke and fell apart; I did not notice a single difference as the rod holder tubes stayed in place above the RPS due to the off white rubber w...

Well, I may have spoken just a bit prematurely because my bottom paint removal was going So Well. Today I was finishing up the bottom paint removal and found some spots were More Difficult than other areas of the boat bottom. Maybe I let the Klean Strip Aircraft and Fiberglass Paint Remover stay on ...

I got a lead on #4 SS rod holders with off white rubber flange on the top; measure 2" across and 10" long. I will look at them next week and advise you. I just need two. I live in [Palm Beach, Florida]. Where do you live?

I just completed removal of black bottom paint on my 1989 Outrage 22. I just took a break and came right to the forum to tell you about this product: Aircraft & Fiberglass Paint Remover, by Klean Strip. This is not my first rodeo in removing bottom paint, the application of another product, the ...

As my luck would have it, I own one of the few 1989 Outrage 22 center consoles without a through hull in the aft live well to let water IN. Thanks to Jim's detailed comments, I am moving forward on a through-hull sea-strainer scoop with a ball valve to control force, volume, and flow. I will let the...

I heard that there is a data base or records of each Whaler. Kind of a birth certificate, and maybe a chain of Title owners before me? Can someone on CW direct me on How I can research my Whalers history?
Thank you Again.
BarryCuda

JimH, thank you for your time and complete thoroughness in your response. Just as I was hoping for, you gave me ideas and cautions I had not thought of.
Kindly, BarryCuda.

Wow, now that is a gunwale to tank recondition job done well. We all would Love to see more close up pixs of the work you stated. Thanks for sharing! BarryCuda

[I am] considering adding plumbing to the live well of a 1989 Outrage 22. In place now is a simple Rule pump to remove water. What I want is water IN. It is Important to me that this is NOT a Rule pump fastened on the transom with hose/pipe over transom and into the well. No buckets of water to fill...

I am right there with Butch. I also had to replace my drain tube and I do not have the tools or patience for DIY. So I went to my local (Stuart, Fl.) MarineMax and they Exceeded my expectations. Once they fully removed the broken drain tube, the mechanic "McGiver" rigged up a funnel made f...
