Re: 1996 Outrage 19 Re-power
To increase speed by 5-MPH will require 200-HP . Thanks Jim Right now I do not think the extra weight and extra money for a 5-MPH gain in top end speed is worth the cost. The Mercury 150 FOURSTROKE has a track record that's hard to beat. Many boaters would say it is the best engine Mercury is produ...

Re: 1996 Outrage 19 Re-power
Jim, The batteries are fitted in the center console now. Your estimates of boat speed and weight are very close. This hull has a generous fuel tank, around 90 gallons. If one ever had to replace the fuel tank I would fabricate a 65 gallon tank and eliminate 25 gallons aft. It will be interesting to ...

Re: 1996 Outrage 19 Re-power
The 150 Pro XS is the engine for its cost. At 455-lbs it might be the best fit for this 1996 OUTRAGE 19.
The top speed would be 5-MPH to 10-MPH lower than it would be with a powerful engine, or the top speed might not even be that much difference.

Re: 1996 Outrage 19 Re-power
When I fish the outside open ocean the 150-HP is adequate. On those voyage [the boat speed used] is not [the maximum possible] but [a boat speed that produces] comfort. With more power, keeping the bow elevated to face the chop might be easier. The scuppers on the 1996 to 1999 19 Outrage are designe...

Re: 1996 Outrage 19 Re-power
The [current engine weighs] about 435-lbs. The Yamaha engines weigh about 480-lbs to 490-lbs. The Mercury engines weight less than 500-lbs. Extra weight will be put on the transom. Q4: What other engine choice is available for re-power? The 1996 Outrage 19 is stock with not a lot of weight added--no...

1996 Outrage 19 Re-power
In 2015 I was fortunate to find a lightly-used 1996 19' Outrage with a 1996 Mercury 150-HP two-stroke-power-cycle engine. The engine is still operational and I have not had any concerns with it. The only reason to re-power is that I consider the 1996 19 OUTRAGE boat to be under-powered at 150-HP. St...
