I'm building a set of molds to make a scale model 18 Outrage c.1986 and I need some help with the console. Does anyone have access to their 18 Outrage that would like to help by supplying a few measurements? I can send you a sketch via email and basically you just fill in the blanks. Measurements only need to be accurate to within approximately 1/4 inch or so. Or, if you happen to be local to Southeast Michigan I can take the measurements myself if you so desire. I just finished casting the hull molds a few minutes ago, so I'll be ready to make models as soon as I can get a console mold made. Roy |

Roy put me down for one of those 18's for sure. As for the console. I have this set of dimensions I took from my 1985 22 Outrage's Standard / Montauk style Console. Does this get you what you need? https://sites.google.com/site/rohlfingsuploads/home/standardconsole. jpg?attredirects=0 |

Jeff, thank you!! That is absolutely perfect. I'll let you know when models are available; it will not be long with this excellent resource to work from. Thanks Again, Roy |

What's the skinny on the model? I'd be interested in an 80's 18ft. Outrage model. Now, if you could put a closed transom and a OMC SeaDrive on that baby, I'd be ecstatic! :) |

If Roy in fact is, as I assume, the same guy whose screen name used to be 'Royboy', then I can vouch for the quality of his models. I saw one -- a classic Montauk -- in person when I visited CW member Erik Selis in Belgium a couple of years ago, and it was very nice indeed. Tony |

That's me Tony, and thank you. For some reason (I assume because I didn't post for quite a while) Royboy no longer had posting privileges. Here's a sneak preview of the first-off hull casting: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/MC1888/model/ 18%20Outrage%20Model/firstoff002.jpg One of the mold halves has a minor problem with some of the thin sections related to the aft gunwhales, which you may notice will be teak topsides as in the original. I think I should still be able to ship models by the end of the month or soon thereafter. I'm working on the tooling for a standard console, and I still have to make a bender for the bow railing. |
