I have owned this since new. It works fine but needs a replacement battery to work as intended without being kept on a charger. Instead of getting a new battery I bought a newer Standard Horizon VHF that has the built in GPS and an MMSI so I can call the Coast Guard quickly if I need them, and I no ...

For sale is a set of Specialty Marine bow lights that I used for 2-3 years to replace the original bow lights on my 1984 Outrage 25. I have since changed over to Hella LEDs and no longer have a use for these. The stainless appears of good quality and the lens is good also. There is a small amount of...

For sale is this stainless steel boarding ladder that came with my 1984 Outrage 25. It folds up compactly into a blue cordura bag for easy storage. To use it, you unfold it and insert the stainless rod at the top into one of the rod holders. It is by far the best boarding ladder I have ever seen and...

For sale is this custom transom brace that was on my 1984 Outrage 25 when I purchased it. I believe the prior owner had it made. You can see pictures of it at http://s1205.photobucket.com/user/russellbailey3/library/For%20Sale/For%20Sale%20-%20Transom%20Brace The best picture to see it in action is ...

Speed limit or about - speed limit typically anywhere from 60-70. A little over 14,000 lbs rolling when loaded.

jimh,the ride quality in the vehicle was quite good for a normal person - an average rider would not have found the ride bad at all. I can get car sick fairly easily (I brake so gently I typically get 100,000 miles on a set of brakes), and I found the ride fine. However, my wife is very sensitive to...

After much planning, I purchased a new Myco trailer for my 1984 Outrage 25. I had used a Continental keel-roller trailer exclusively for the past six years, but, searching for a smoother tow vehicle ride, I decided to go with a new trailer. My old trailer is in excellent condition and for sale as po...

We are preparing to head to Beaufort NC this next week and stay at a house on Taylor's Creek with a dock where we'll slip our 1984 Outrage 25 for the week. Much fishing is planned. I went to the North Carolina fisheries web page to download the fish size regulations, and at the top of the page I not...

Some have these and trailer them. I don't, but have taken multiple measurements of my Outrage 25 with twins and bracket. There is a lot going from dry published weights to loaded outfitted wet weights. You would want at least a 10,000 lb gvwr trailer (which ends up being about 8,000 lb capacity afte...

I've had two interested individuals but no deal has been made yet. Someone has to need this for their project trying to stay OEM with the RPS.

russellbailey

Duane, thanks for the positive comments. The parts do work well together - very low maintenance.

It is probably heavier than I'd pick for a 1970s Outrage 21 - it would work but the trailer approaches 2000 lbs itself. The more modern Outrage 21s are a lot heavier and could be ok.

russellbailey

The Continental 10,000 lb keel roller trailer that I've used since 2010 for my 1984 Outrage 25 is for sale. The trailer is in great condition. This style trailer is like the one that LHG has used to pull his Outrage 25 all over the country, and is no longer available from Continental. It fits the 19...

Best way is the Turboswing. The tube part comes on and off quickly with a couple of clips, leaving just a couple of brackets mounted to the engine brackets. You may find you leave the tube part on all the time as I do - it gives you a good way to keep lines away from the engines. With twin engines, ...

russellbailey

Turboswing is the easy answer. I've had one for 5 years now on our Outrage 25. It is great.

Is there something particularly special about the webbing material used in the Kevlar straps that Whaler used? I have these different straps holding down my 3 batteries. http://thmarine.com/battery-holder-tray-with-stainless-buckle.html The buckle looks identical in operation to the Kevlar strap ref...

russellbailey

Switching to the Opti 200 makes sense if you want to pull two big slalom skiers up at once - that is a lot of load. I know you are not looking at one, but regardless I'll mention that the twin Opti 150s on our Outrage 25 have incredible pulling power - they will literally yank the handle out if your...

russellbailey

Are you pulling up two slalom skiers or just two skiers or wakeboarders? My understanding is that the 150 four-stroke roughly matches the 150 Optimax. I have twin 150 Optimax on my Outrage 25. We mainly ski and wakeboard. Early on after getting up on a slalom ski the boat was not going as fast as I ...

I have for sale a complete Whaler RPS package that I removed from my 1984 Outrage 25 when I replaced it with a leaning post. All parts are in excellent condition except the risers which are structurally great but need new varnish. Pictures at http://s1205.photobucket.com/user/russellbailey3/library/...

I was able to fit 14 x 12 tabs on my 1984 Outrage 25, 14-wide, 12-long. I wanted to maximize tab size.

I have Bennett tabs. I'm not sure what Lenco options there are. I have standard height actuators that fit fine. This may help you correlate to Lenco size.

russellbailey

The steel tubing is a Turboswing We mainly pull kneeboarders and skiers on it. We used to pull wakeboarders on it too but now pull them from the higher attachment point on the arch. The manufacturer told me it was ok to pull up to a 3 person tube on it, but we rarely tube and when we've done so have...

Did a brief run at the lake today.

The static trim at the stern corner was two to three inches higher with the bracket than with the jack plates; that buoyancy box has a lot of lift.

Dynamic trim running angle is steeper; trim tabs are useful

Top speed was new record for with arch: 47-MPH

russellbailey

The bracket is installed, the transom raising is done, and all mechanicals are connected. There is still some cleanup-type work to do (like fastening the quarter boxesand general cleaning), but it is functional for the summer and skilled finish work will not occur until fall. I'll float it Saturday....

russellbailey

Engines go on next along with some finish work.

russellbailey

These are behind the quarter boxes in a foamed in area. Rather than sandwiching across the foam, we decided to dig out foam there and through bolt.

This area will be glassed back in.

These bolts are fairly low stress and just hold the swim platform wings in place.

russellbailey

Glass over the Coosa - it will be sanded and gel-coated yet.

russellbailey

We walk through the splash well all the time getting in the boat, and so decided to level the floor back there with glassing in some Coosa board to make one flat area behind the "dam" that separates the splash well area and the cockpit. That does make the lower bracket bolts not readily ac...

russellbailey

So, the splash well inserts got cut out, and dug through the foam down to the keel. Good news is that foam was all dry down to the last 0.5" or so at the very keel which was slightly damp.

russellbailey

As it turned out, the lower bolts for the bracket are well below the splash well fiberglass height and close to the keel. You can see them with the black sealant around them in this about-to-install photo

russellbailey

I'd go with the 150 H.O. if it were me. It will have more than enough power for any watersports. Using just one of my two Optimax 150s on a much heavier 1984 Outrage 25, it can easily pull a slalom skier up with 8 people in the boat (that was me as the slalom skier and a buddy driving the boat when ...

Yet to be faired but structurally fiberglassed.

Transom has been dug out. Wood was wet but transom was still sturdy and there were no cracks showing - not bad for 32 years of age. I've decided to raise it to essentially full height, which will be about 12" of additional height. Given its age instead of just adding on I decided to do a full r...

I have twin Optimax 150s on mine. That is a powerful 150, and it will easily plane off and run mid-30s on one engine. Mine are counter-rotating, 25" shaft. The prior owner had them on normal jackplates which left them too low. I installed high-rise jackplates to get the 25" shaft to the ri...

I've had McGard locks on the twin Revolution 4 propellers on my 1984 Outrage 25 since I bought it - I trailer it exclusively. It is not just the cost but also the potential for a lost day if you walk out and find your propellers gone. I know these won't stop a determined theif but it should stop a c...

I'm interested in having Sport Trail build a trailer for my 1984 Outrage 25, but he does not have a template for my hull and it is too far to conveniently get my boat down there. There are a number of boats with this same hull - Frontier and Temptation along with the Outrage and Revenge. Ideally it ...

russellbailey

Dave, I will get pictures for sure. I'm taking it to the fiberglass shop who is going to do the transom raising and installation in the next couple of weeks. They may just rebuild the transom while it is open - TBD. Do you already have jackplates for your project? I will soon have the two highrise o...

brill - I did seal the countersunk area - I just did not get a picture of it after doing so and before I put the transducer in. I sealed the countersunk area just like I did the initial core, so it was 2x the work. When I sealed the countersunk area, I just packed the epoxy/fiberglass mix up between...

I finally found the pictures from a couple of years ago I took during the fiberglass work on [the installation of a through-hull SONAR transducer on a 1984 Boston Whaler OUTRAGE 25].

: Outrage 25 Hermco bracket - about to ship.jpg (109.19 KiB) Viewed 17309 times

This is a picture of the completed bracket prior to being shipped from Hermco. It should be here later this week. You can see the offset in the swim platform to account for the proud motor mounting area on the Outrage transom.

russellbailey

jimh, thanks for posting those links. I had not realized they showed the top and they are better than the pictures I had.

russellbailey

I emailed pictures from when it was on Buckda's boat - I never installed it.

John, the farthest up I ever get is around middle New Jersey and that is maybe once a year at best. I do get up around Allentown PA 1-2 times a year. I don't know if that is close enough to work for you or not.

I have for sale an Outrage 25 Suntop that I purchased from Buckda and ended up not using. The canvas is blue and in good condition - it has been replaced from the original. It was the suntop on his Outrage 25 Cuddy when he purchased it. I'm in Roanoke VA but travel around the East some and could pot...

I did similar in my 1984 Outrage 25. I meant to send pictures to jimh of the install but could not locate them. It is not hard but does take some fiberglass work. I have an Airmar tilted element transducer, installed through my fishbox. At this location, the foam part of the hull is about 4-5" ...

Don Herman of Hermco let me know that construction on the bracket started this week. I had to send him a template to get the swim platform on the bracket to fit well against the transom of the boat - as with most Outrage and Revenge models of that era the flat motor mounting area sits about 0.75&quo...

I've considered [adding a HERMCO bracket to a 1984 Boston Whaler OUTRAGE 25] for a while and placed the order today. It will be probably two months before the bracket arrives. I went with Hermco to maximize the flotation tank volume. The gentleman I spoke with at Armstrong referred to the Hermco as ...
