How in the world did you find those Meg teeth? [Finding Meg teeth is] all tactile as it’s most times zero visibility despite having power headlamps (twin 1,200 lumen lights). On a great day you’ll get 6 inches of viz and that helps your toof count. You get to a point where you know what you’re grab...

Phil T thank you. I’ll try what you’ve suggested as well. Thanks Archie too. So far all the screws spin and none have come out. I’ll try what you suggest. Update : my local Boston Whaler dealer contacted BW and I was given this diagram depicting wood locations. It appears there are mahogany inserts...

[The] bow rail [on a 1994 OUTRAGE 24 boat] is loose. I tried to remove the screw fasteners, but they just spin. I can’t remove any of them. Q1: Are these fasteners bolts or screws? https://photos.smugmug.com/Boston-Whaler/i-WmsVDJd/0/c06e4c50/XL/Bow%20rail%20screws-XL.jpg [I]I have tried leveraging ...

Crusty I bet we could make some kind of deal.

Masbama, the lobstering was in Key Largo. Sorry to have not been clear.

Those photos are from the west coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. Scalloping out of Steinhatchee and fishing out of Cedar Key.

Here’s our 1992 19 Outrage PLAN B : We LOVE snorkeling for scallops amd lobsters, shrimping, fishing, and also enjoy diving. Especially for shark's teeth. https://photos.smugmug.com/Boston-Whaler/i-WMqPB9z/0/02d3ce9c/L/P1010006-L.jpg Shark Toofing https://photos.smugmug.com/Boston-Whaler/i-zdLBNHF/0...

Good luck with the removal and repair.

ASIDE: I've often wanted to add trim tabs to my 1992 19 Outrage. If possible Will could you please take a photo of your tabs and post them.

Man that is a lot of Lobster. So you just free dive for them? Yep. Down in the FL Keys we just snorkel for them. We try to stay in less than 12 feet of water. Anything deeper and I start hearing a lil whining. How in the world did someone steal both of you outboards? Archie My boat was in for a ser...

Acassidy I have a 1994 24 Outrage and last year I had to have my fuel tank replaced on account of pin holes. I don’t have any input on how to help you fit the new plastic tank but I can tell you the new 195 gallon tank cost $1,800 wackers. Best of luck buddy.

Acassidy thanks for helping to clarify the idea of why someone would want to put a GPS trolling motor on an offshore boat. They are already popular on large boats here in the Jacksonville area. Those that have them on their boat have a HUGE advantage over those that don’t. Great idea on tilting it ...

Phil T—thanks for your response. I’ll look at your posts and photos and get a better appreciation of what you did. I also have a 1992 Outrage 19, PLAN B, and plan to swap this trolling motor back and forth between the two. https://photos.smugmug.com/Boston-Whaler/i-dVjrcrs/0/ba4e2498/L/DSCN6986-L.jp...

How can a GPS-guided bow-mounted 36-Volt electric trolling motor be mounted to a c.1994 OUTRAGE and the bow railing be kept intact? I imagine hinging the bow rail is the way to go. I wonder about securing the trolling motor base on the narrow bow. Give me advice on making this modification. Brian Po...
