That makes sense but not sure how many people outside of the Police or DMV would be able to access that info.however. I believe that DMV could probably search Boston Whaler in a certain area and come up with who owns what and where. At least they did in Gone in 60 seconds. I would also believe that ...

Still confused on the motive/benefit of doing so. Google has online a video of my house as they drive down my street. What benefit does blocking your registration or license plate numbers accomplish? Can someone explain to me what the benefit is please?

You need to put epoxy in the holes and redrill to tighten. You can use a an adhesive like 4200 or 5200 but it may be hard to remove them in the future. The rust stains can be rust as SS is not rust proof, it is stainLESS so when water gets around them, they rust. It can also be from the foam under t...

Why do people black out the registration numbers when they post pics of their boats? What am I going to do with that information? It is not like I can steal your registration. You drive around all day on the water and park it in your yard or dock with them revealed. Can anyone please explain the mot...

Just like a car, they wrap boats. You see many fishing tournament boats wrapped with their team name/logo and a mural. Race boats do it. It is vinyl like you see on commercial vans, etc. The boat would have to be really cheap compared to a good specimen because it will probably cost a couple grand t...

biggiefl

Yes but usually with 19" pitch props.

biggiefl

If cheap enough...wrap it!

They will not ingest water but should be repaired for cosmetic reasons.

I personally would go for the Edgewater and the 4 stroke engine. I personally would limit my cruising with 6 people in a 14 boat. I would limit that in my 18 outrage.

biggiefl

To see if it is slipping you need to mark the hub and the prop, take it for a ride, let it slip and then look at the marks. If they have moved, need a new hub. You would mark it in pic 3. Mark the metal prop and part of the hub if you can see it(should). I use an awl or nail to just scratch it.

As per what Jim asked above...what engine are you running? Decades ago I repowered my 17 with a Suzuki 70hp 4 stroke which got over 10mpg at cruise and burned less than a quart an hour trolling. I literally replaced the 24 gal tank with a single 6gal portable. If you have modern power and do not go ...

They did not come from the factory with lights, it was an option. I personally would buy an aftermarket SS bow chock light combo for about $150. Main reason is the chock really helps with lines no chaffing the hull or ripping off your bowlight(which I have done).

"can certainly fabricate hatches simply"

If that is true, you would have a few customers lined up for a set. There are quite a few and you would need to make a mold off somebody's as the revenge comes with wood hatches. The non-skid would be the hard part.

biggiefl

There is more on that plate but many times they are worn away and hence why they stamp or engrave them into the hull now(also can't remove if stolen). It should say BWCXXXXXX76k which again means 1976. They only made one model back then which was the sport with the wood interior. I don't think the s...

LUCY—Something is totally not right. Need to take back to installer.

What year hull? I do not think Mills was OEM for the 170 hulls. If a classic, yes and they had a great clip design to attach to the gunwale instead of bungee cords or rope.

biggiefl

Should not matter what the gauge says. depends on what is left in the tank.

What exactly happens?

And what is the remedy?

biggiefl

Who did the re-power?

Top speed 23-MPH is not good.

What engine was on the 1995 OUTRAGE 19 before?

What performance data do you have from the old engine?

biggiefl

The Cuddy does not seem to be too bad and it has a console, rps, etc. Just buying the console, windshield, doors, etc is not cheap and makes converting a poor choice.

biggiefl

Look at the marketplace, a white ash kit for $22 shipped. Don't mind the no contact info as it is on the thread. For that price I would try it.

biggiefl

Yup....hence my post above.

biggiefl

Look at Whaler website, the 150 would be my option due to performance. You might want to get a deeper V with a Dauntless or Outrage but just my opinion.

biggiefl

The cable usually has the length in inches on it.

biggiefl

Ditto....don't even think about it.

biggiefl

Find faster fish!

With 70 gallons of fuel and hitting 40-MPH at 5900-RPM, I would leave it alone.

Compression tests on a pull start motor can be tricky. Personally, if the engine is a bit hard to pull, it is OK as you only have two cylinders. If you do a compression check, just look to see if the cylinder pressure measurements are close to each other. If the compression is supposed to be 120-PSI...

biggiefl

I do not think a stainless steel tilt tube is made for that engine. They are usually for V4 and larger engines.

The Steersman Nut is not supposed to seal off the system, it is to grease the arm. If the arm is greased it should not freeze.

biggiefl

Replace the cap and don't worry about the fuzz, they are not going to inspect your caps and there is no law against having an older non-epa tank like I use.

biggiefl

If you are asking about classics, the 13 is more stable than the 15 and is night and day compared to a 12-foot aluminum boat.

The 13-foot hulls are much cheaper and easier to find, are lighter, and can be tiller steered.

biggiefl

My 1986 18' outrage with a F115 with 13x17 painted Yamaha SS prop will hit 40-41 around 5900-6k with bimini up and a lot of fuel mounted all the way up. I do have (very old & faded) bottom paint and 2 batteries in the stern. Pretty good for your boat which weighs more.

biggiefl

I keep two dive belts in the forward locker as well.

biggiefl

What is he asking?

Without seeing it my guess would be around $6k if nice.

biggiefl

My 1981 13-footer with a SUZUKI DF40 does 38-MPH with just me in the boat.

biggiefl

Keep the propeller you have or upgrade to a stainless steel propeller.

Your top boat speed is slow for a 40-HP engine.

biggiefl

Cut a piece of starboard.

biggiefl

The engine will turn all day with the safety lanyard not connected.

That [Brunswick Commercial and Government Products 210 GUARDIAN OEM factory designed and factory installed T-Top shown in several illustrations above] is nearly identical to the one I had on my Hydra-Sports sans the powder coating and lack of rod holders. I liked the way they had dual rails above—on...

biggiefl

Tell him to get it running and deliver to you. Did you check the safety lanyard? Lastly to rule out the neutral safety switch or bad key switch, unplug the wiring harness at the engine and rope start or at least see if there is spark. This is also how you hotwire a boat in case you ever need to do so.

biggiefl

What was the price on the "never seen before pricing"?

biggiefl

My 1994 Hydra-Sports was ordered new from the factory. It has a pipewelders T-Top with aluminum radio box/fuse panel, 5 gold rocket launchers, grab handles, all the antenna pads and sunbrella canvas. I believe it was around a $2600 option. It was one of the nicest tops I have seen and still in use t...

biggiefl

$7k for a T-Top?

biggiefl

Check coils. swap them and see if dead cylinder changes. Very common. If that is not the problem chances are the CDI is toast but usually that gives weak or low spark to both cyls. My bet is one of the coils.

biggiefl

Being that is an OEM console and RPS installed already, I would not personally install a Katama console as the driving position is much lower. It is not going to add any value and most likely will detract on resale. Mount a cooler in front and enjoy. As far as the rest goes, we need more info. as th...

biggiefl

Ditto on what Phil said.

biggiefl

Tell us what the plugs look like when you remove them, might explain a lot. Does it only do this when warmed up or does it continue to misfire the next day?

I have had that happen where I told the guy I was on my way and when I got there another buyer was already there and bought it. The DB knew I had a 1.5hr drive that I just wasted.

biggiefl

Horsepower rating is probably the same as a regular hull. I would say weight is probably 40 to 50-lbs or so heavier. That was the increase in weight on the classic Montauk; these weigh pretty good.

biggiefl

In the two decades I have been on this site I see this all the time. People post the ad information waiting to get opinions and approval, and it is sold. Scan the classifieds diligently if you can; if something of interest comes up, get on it, not get on this site.

Steering wheels are normally centered on Whalers and they obviously have enough room to route the cable into the tunnel correctly. If you can bend SS pipe, you can make a railing. Whaler did not weld any of their classic railings, they were all fitted with T's and screws, etc. If you actually welded...
