Author Topic:   Ribside Outrage Console Measurements (small version)

ericlhorne posted 10-01-2010 07:17 PM ET (US)
For lack of the right terms, I have an old ribside outrage project boat without a console. I would like to replicate the early small console that I have seen featured on the CW site. Does anyone have this boat that would be willing to take some measurements for me?
Many thanks,
Eric

Eric,
Can you be more specific? Are you referring to this console?

That small console is beyond awesome. I have been always looking to by one.
Good luck on the remake.

Tom -
Is the "post" section of that console in the image factory, and if so, did that type of console use that same post in the Montauk series back in the early 70's?

This is the one I'm talking about...

I'm planning to make it up out of 3/16" aluminum plate.

Yes, that is the same console as I show in the photo I have linked to. It is from the Outrage III model and is essentially the same as the Cohasset console (predecessor of the Montauk) with the exception of the grab rail and windscreen. [Don -- This is what you are referring to. ]
The console is two separate molded fiberglass shells assembled with wooden trim. It has a very compact footprint.
The restored version in my brother-in-law's boat, featured in this thread:
http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/019738.html
...is modified for the original configuration with several key improvements:
- The wood trim is solid teak finished to super-yacht standards.
- The steering wheel is moved from the vertical front face to the dash area where the helm is *MUCH* more comfortable for tall guys like me.
- The instrumentation is hidden by a flip up wood panel.
When my BOL and his brothers bought this boat, they were so smitten with the console there was talk of them pulling a mold from the fiberglass components to make more. My BOL is a boat builder and they have an extensive shop on Cape Cod, so this is well within their capabilities.

To replicate this console in 3/16" aluminum would make it strong but I do not know how one would duplicate the 1-1/4" radiused edges of the base.

Thanks, Tom. Great info. When you have a few minutes, is there any chance you could give me the basic measurements of that unit?
Many thanks,
E

No chance at all. The boat is on Cape Cod. I am in Seattle.
Contact my BOL, also named Tom. His email in on his web site.

Understood. I'll give your brother-in-law a ring. Many, many thanks.
If I can come up with the measurements, would anyone like me to post the dimensions on this thread?

I think it is obvious that there is still interest in this forty year old console design.
By all means, share any information you can come up with; that is what this web site is all about.

I just emailed your in-law. Thanks so much. I'll be sure to put the findings on this thread. No question about the continued interest in these old designs. They sure knew what they were doing 40 years ago...
