I agree with flymo: the carburetors need to be rebuilt before running again. Also, replace all fuel lines on the engine because since it is leaking they are probably all bad. While at it, replace any inline filters. Inspect all the fuel hoses coming from the tank to make sure they are not deteriorat...

Sorry to hear that boat didn't work out. Dang sellsman can't act like a normal person and shoot straight. The guy I spoke with while looking at it said that something was wrong in that it didn't run right when they took it out for initial test run. That 2012 23' Dauntless is for sure a nice model bu...

What do you mean by transom bracket? Are you talking about the transom or an actual bracket? Usually they are 1/2" diameter bolts. Not sure the thread. When I had a Montauk I did not use the builtin lower bolt holes in the transom. Yours might not work with the built in one since the person bef...

I used something like this as plugs in the past when redoing console doors.

dtmakey, where did you find stainless steal tools?

[The unnamed area shown above in Figure 1and 2] is a great place for a bilge pump. When I owned a Montauk I installed a 500 GPH pump and ran a hose over the transom.

Ole: Q1: How did you prep the hull for refinish? Q2: What was your process for fairing the sides? Q3: Did you use primer and paint to spray the hull or did you spray gelcoat? The non skid on the gunwale looks like paint. Q4: Did you do glass to fill the console dash to spray? Q5: Was it paint or gel...

I use Corrosion X on my outboard and often on my tools along with WD40. WD 40 does dry out over time but that is what I use in my tools. CorrosoinX is messy. But is better than WD 40 for rehabilitation of rusty tools. I remove my tool bags and store in dry place in garage. I do that with my emergenc...

I need a source for the transom splash well drain for the 1995 Outrage 24.

The one on my OUTRAGE 24 has a rubber scupper on the outside and is flush on the inside. I have looked around but cant find the correct style that fits. I want to replace the complete through hull. Thanks--Archie

I don't think [removal of all foam from a Boston Whaler Unibond hull] is necessary. Once [all foam is removed from a Unibond hull] you no longer own a Boston Whaler but own an outer skin of a Boston Whaler with someone else's structure inside. My experience with water in the hull is that it is usual...

A HISTORY OF BOATS I HAVE RESTORED I have owned and worked on many classic Boston Whaler boats. These boats I restored and sold: a 1977 Low pro 19’, 1977 Montauk 17’, 1984 22’ Outrage. I currently own a 1995 Outrage 24. All of these boats were complete projects where I striped the boats down to the ...

NLA01

Survey the boat well before buying. If the foam is saturated with water, walk away.

NLA01

[To separate the hull and liner] would be near impossible. All hull integrity would be lost. Boston Whaler engineering and design does not use bulkheads and strings with a hull and cap design like most boats including Grady White. The bottom and liner are infused with foam under pressure while the t...

Here is a OEM replacement for that screw head. http://www.nausetmarine.com/shop/1040187-barrel-nuts/ Is it possible to get a pair of pliers around the nuts to hold it.

They is a very interesting set of videos. At the Statue of Liberty he held up the book "Only in America, An American Boating Adventure" paying tribute to the John Mirassou. The book is about 3 men who took the trip of a lifetime on the 17' Montauk traveling from Florida to New York over to...

You are absolutely correct about this I can see that in a particular instance with a boat that had an engine that could not deliver much power at low engine speeds, changing to a four-blade propeller might affe...

If it were me I would use [FCGI] poly-fill verses using West System. First the FGCI (or any brand gelcoat and filler) are two products designed to work together. Second is the golden rule poly over poly, epoxy over poly, but never poly over epoxy. The reason is polyester doesn't really stick very we...

I have exactly the same cracks in exactly the same places on the side of the hull on my 1995 Outrage 24. I think the cause was gelcoat shrinking. The cracks are only on the hull side where the sun set in its position on the trailer in the exact same spot for many many years. Cracks are where the sun...

I am sure you know this, but the inside color and the outside colors are different. Desert Tan inside and a sort of off white outside. I do not remember. And don't quote me. I may be totally wrong.

About double clamping: the law has changed. Only fill hose has to be double clamped, all others can be single clamped. The reason for the change was on some double clamped hoses the clamp ended up on the barb halfway causing the 2nd clamp to cut the hose when tighten down. I would only double clamp ...

This is what I have found while trying out props. It really depends on your boat too. But in general: Four- blade: --will give you better [acceleration to plane from a standing start], lower planing speeds, hold better in low plane speeds, have less top end speed; have more stern lift, and more bow ...

I have always used AmorAll. I would not use Acetone. It cleans it by striping a layer of the plastic off like sanding it but by dissolving it.

NLA01

That is a great hull and a great find that you have. Here on the Texas Gulf Coast that is a gem and a boat like that could have a tree growing out of the center of it and it would still sell as a project boat for a lot and would get completely restored. No such thing as a 25’ Whaler too gone to rest...

All things being equal, more displacement equals more torque--interesting that outboard manufactures don't give torque data.

I would recommend going lower on the transom but not in line with the strake and not in front of the motor. Maybe move to the left a few inches. I would not recommend going through the splash well drain either to run the cable. One day in heavy seas you will regret it. Going over transom is better, ...

I have never heard of ballast added to a Whaler like you are talking about. I have a 1995 Outrage 24. It does not have any kind of ballast from the original single engine configuration. I really doubt [that your boat has ballast weights in the stern], but look in the bilge and see if there is someth...

Thanks for your comments. Wow I did not know that I have such a rare boat. I assumed there were many of these. I do know that they made a yellow Gelcoat version also.

I did not know that you could weld an aluminum tank to repair it. That is a great idea. If I pull the tank and it just has one or couple corroded holes areas then maybe I can do that. Then I can paint it like you did. Where do you get the tar paint? I can imagine that you would have to really clean ...

Thanks for the comments. Point taken. So lets say I keep the top, and I leave it attached to the console but detach the console and t-top from the deck and lift it all up to access the decks underneath.

In regards to going offshore with twins in Texas: most offshore boats in Galveston, Texas, are larger than a c.1990 Outrage [24] and have two to five engines on them.
