Author	Topic:   17' Outrage different from early to late 90's?
CHenry	posted 10-06-2001 07:33 PM ET (US)         I've noticed several places Whalers from the early 90's advertised as 17' Outrage's...to my eye they look much more similiar to a late 80's 18' Outrage then to my 1997 17' Outrage. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks Chris

They weighed 1020lb and were rated for 120hp, as Dick pointed out above, compared to your 1700lb boat rated for 150. An excellent example of why I like the 70s and 80s whalers so much more than the new ones, Montauk excepted. Red sky at night. . . JB :)
