Hello all, i am the new owner of my first b/w and the more i figure out, the more questions i have. I just picked up a 1993, 19' Outrage II. The boat is a fresh water boat and is in good shape. The glass is oxidized but is going to be rubbed out and waxed this week. I have tested a few spots on the hull and deck and the results are great, the boat is going to look great. I will post some pictures later. What is the deal with the built in fuel tank? It this a huge problem? I see a few posting and i am worried. My tank was almost empty when i bought is but i didn't figure it would be a problem. I have crawled all around the boat and didn't smell any strong gas smells. I figure i am OK, I hope. I am going to put 25-30 gallons in it this week. The needle is below 1/4 tank right now.
Do any of you have recommendations on props? I have a 93' Johnson 150 Oceanrunner. I would be interested in hearing some top end speeds and fuel usage if possible.
What about the wash down pump? I have the switch on the dash but no pump or supply nozzle to hook up the hose. Has anyone installed this feature on boats that came without this option? No aerator in the live well either.
Also, the roll down door on the cc is missing, where can i get a new one or what are other options?
Any help you guys can give me with this boat would be appreciated. It has some very cool features and I have very excited to get this restored.
I also need canvas so if any of you have some in good shape please let me know.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing some of your suggestions. If you have pictures please let me know how I can view these as well.
