Q1: what do the numbers 001284 [in the hull stencil number secondary location in a 1974 OUTRAGE 21 boat] seen in Figure 1 represent?

These numbers are on the [inside of the] starboard [seat locker on the foredeck].

Q8: [For sealing the gap between the fixed deck and removable deck] would butyl tape 1/2-inch x 1/4-inch work?

Q6: what is the proper sealant is to create a watertight enclosure?

Now it was time to pull the boat out of the shop and flip it over using a boom Crane. Went well and now starting the long progress of glassing the top side. All the curves and bumps required vacuum bagging the cloth in sections. This worked very well and will require VERY little fairing to be ready ...

Next was to level the boat correctly to shoot the laser waterline for bottom paint. Then taped off and had to sand the perfect paintjob with 120 grit to create the "Tooth for the bottom paint". Simply rolled on with a pencil roller. Total of 2 coats

Time for AlexSeal's "Artic White" topcoat. A total of two (2) coats were applied at 3-4 mils each coat. Super happy with the results with only one small run I will deal with at a later date.

Time to post an update on progress. The 2nd coat of high build was applied and sanded to 240grit. Then the Finish Primer applied and sanded to 400 grit.

Q1: when the new cloth was laminated over the hull, did you apply all the cloth and epoxy resin in one session? I applied the biaxial cloth in sessions. I cut the cloth 24" wide and half the width of the hull. Laid out cloth on plastic on a work surface and wetted out cloth with epoxy resin. I...

Figure 4 shows more fairing with ALEXSEAL brand two-part fairing compound. fig4.jpg After sanding and fairing, 12-ounce bi-axial cloth [wetted] with Hawk epoxy was applied over the entire hull. fig5.jpg After the new laminate layer was cured, the surface of the hull was lightly sanded. Next, the ent...

The restoration of my 1974 OUTRAGE 21 boat is my third Boston Whaler boat restoration. The first and second restored Boston Whaler boats were both 16-foot hulls. I have learned a lot from my mistakes, and I do not plan to repeat them this time around. After the 1974 OUTRAGE 21 boat was stripped of a...

The console needs a lot of love but someone handy can salvage it. I just can't throw it out.

Figure 3 shows a bolt in the [floor] of the engine splash well. I can reach down and feel a bracket inside, which may be a superstructure hold down during bonding.

Butch, You have a valid point but the 1972 through 1981 OUTRAGE hulls were different than the 13, 16, and 19-foot boats. The 21 had a superstructure design that riveted to the Main Hull. All the flotation foam was below the cockpit sole. Once the superstructure is removed and the [removable deck sec...

Thanks for the reply from everyone. Yep, I'm stupid. Its a 1974 21' outrage. I felt the upper Superstructure was riveted in place but not sure. Yes, it is coming off and going back on after being worked over and epoxy painted. The bolts are still a mystery to me but hope to be able to look back when...

Q2: what is the purpose of these bolts? I have removed the rub rail. I plan to separate the upper deck fr...
