Re: Using TotalBoat TOPSIDE Paint; Color Choice; Painting Non-skid

Thanks for the advice and recommendations. The TotalBoat hue "Oyster" still appears to be the best match [to the original gel coat color]. I will get other chips from AWLGRIP to insure i have best fit. I want to paint once and properly, but I also want to get the best match, as i will NOT ...

Using TotalBoat TOPSIDE Paint; Color Choice; Painting Non-skid

[H]ello all. [M]y son and [I] are in the process of rebuilding his [1981--always use four digits for years] 17-footer. A prior owner painted the upper part of the gunwales deep flag blue. We stripped the paint and sanded down [the gunwales] to almost bare gel coat. We are not going for original and ...

Six Questions: 17-footer with 90-HP

Q1: has a 17-foot classic hull ever been powered by a115-HP engine with a 25-inch shaft? Q2: if, so was the 115-HP engine mounted high? Q3: was it mounted with a bracket? BACKSTORY: my son’s 17-footer has a Johnson 90-HP engine that is fighting us. The power tilt-trim is not working. The prior owner...

Re: RPS Seat

Hi biggie. Thanks for insight On this 1981 SPORT 17 many changes have occurred over the last 39 years. This one has a much newer CC and pedestal seats. There are many screw holes for the benches, but no wood to be found with our purchase. I just got a center console. Thanks to WhalerRon, I have RPS ...

Source of Plans for RPS. Using Hair Dryer to Dry Foam

i just picked up a [1981] SPORT 17 that has one pedestal seat. I would like to replace that with a reversible pilot seat or RPS.

OUTRAGE 22 200-HP Best Propeller

[I] have a [1989] Outrage 22 with a [2001] Yamaha 200 HPDI. The propeller is dinged up. I want to replace it. The current propeller is a three-blade stainless steel 19. Is this the best propeller? Does changing to a four-blade make sense? My 270 OUTRAGE had twin Mercury 225-HP engines with four-blad...

I recently sold my 2006 270 with Merc 225 opti’s, which was able to hit 58mph trimmed up at 5800 rpm without any problems, full load 4 adults. OptiMax engines are 125-lbs lighter than the VERADO, but she ran great.

In the past I used GOOF OFF to clean the lettering, a product called SHUTTER SAVER to restore the color, then a nice polish to protect them. They still look great four years later.

I would like to add a swim ladder and possibly a 10-inch engine bracket to my 1989 OUTRAGE 22. I am concerned about lack of space as I have 12-inch trim tabs that are close to the engine and don’t offer much space for swim ladder.

Re: 1989 Outrage 22 Fuel Tank and Live Well

Thanks for the information. The boat has a Yamaha 200 HPDI two-cycle engine.

Does the capacity jump to 129-gallons from 77-gallons? Hell, I can hit the Flemish Cap with that much fuel[!]

Sorry about the PDF--still learning.
