I think a fair market price, given California location, is $9,000 to $11,000.

While the engine may be great, it is old. A new engine is $12,000 to $14,000.

A new trailer in California will cost $3,000 to $4,500.

We are asking the questions to get you answers. We pick propeller that are good for MPG but also good for all speeds. If you select a prop that is only good between 18 to 22-nautical-miles=per-hour, the engine will have operational problems. Propeller selection is make and model dependent. One four-...

The wide open throttle (WOT) rpm range for the BF150 is 5000-6000.

Q11: What is the engine speed at full throttle when the boat is lightly loaded?

Phil T

There was no 210 Outrage in 1993. The 1993 Outrage 21 has a minimum power rating of 150-HP and a maximum power rating of 300-HP.

At the time it was introduced the method of attaining 300-HP was from twin 150-HP engines. Therefore, I doubt 100-lbs will make a measurable impact.

Phil T

While the factory mounted the engine 1 hole up, dozens of Montauk 170 I owners have done testing and determined that 2-holes up, top bolt in the third hole counting down from the top is ideal for overall performance. Removing the bench seat and kicker will improve planing and overall performance as ...

The part shown in Figure 1 is the backing plate for the bow railing support.

There are two of them, one on each side of the hull, forward to support the vertical stanchion. They insert from the outside into the two holes. The two machine screws threat into it.

Phil T

If I had to guess the prop is possibly a Solas. We need to know the engine mounting height. How many empty holes are above the top bolts? What is the wide-open-throttle (WOT) rpm at top speed with a typical load? My list for the Outrage 18 with the Honda BF 150 includes**: Honda "Turbo" 14...

One of the proven preventive measures when running a Mercaha motor is to add Mercury Quickleen to every gallon of gas. This seems to stop the carburetors from getting the perpetual gummed up condition

There is no grease nipple for the steering cable in the tilt tube only for the tilting feature of the engine. In the States the recommendation is to change the port side nut on the tilt tube with a nut that has a grease fitting. https://www.wholesalemarine.com/steersman-boat-steering-guard-1.html Fr...

I would want to verify the gear ratio of the current Mercury 40 is the same. They occasionally change.

The new 130 SuperSport is heavier than your model.

I would try the Spitfire in that lower pitch I suggested.

Phil T

Make sure the impeller was installed correctly. There is an orientation to them.

While the modern 150 has a better hull design and rides smoother, the shorter LOA degrades the ride in rougher conditions. To limit towing to a Pilot (5,000lb) limit I would suggest, in order of preference: 1 - Outrage 17 II (1996-1999) 1700lb hull 2 - Outrage 17 I (1990-1995 1050lb hull 3 - Montauk...

For the New England coast, the models you listed are very small and will severely limit the days that are comfortable to go out. The afternoon southerly breeze kicks up and the sea state can deteriorate. Fast. You really pay the price when in a short length overal (LOA) boat. Two feet LOA makes a wo...

With elevation comes reduced atmospheric pressure and combustion engines suffer performance degradation. Electronic fuel injected motors experience less drop than carburated engines. At 5100 ft above sea level you loose 6.1 horsepower. The 40hp is now a 33.9 hp engine. The Black Max 14 pitch came wi...

[The disk on the transom of the 1991 OUTRAGE 17] is part of the grounding system for the fuel tank. There is a wire with green insulatoion that goes from the fuel fill to the fuel tank and then a second wire that leads overboard to an [electrode] that is under the waterline. You can replace [the bro...

Start with the cables.

Pull the cover and inspect the end of the throttle cable. Then check the cable end at the remote throttle control.

You can obtain the rear seat cushion bottom and backrest from Andersons Mfg. They are an OEM quality vendor.

If you only need moderate cooling and decent seating, go with the cost effective classic Igloo Marine Elite cooler. This is sized for the OEM cushions from Anderson Mfg.

Without knowing location, I appraise the boat selling for $6,000 to $8,000.

In California the boat could sell for a bit higher price, and in Florida sell for a bit less.

Phil T

The market will be slow to respond to that asking price.

For that money, the teak/mahogany would be pristine, gelcoat shiny, OEM cushions from Anderson's Mfg. and an engine that is less than 10 years old.

Post photos that show that and you will have some bites.

If you look at the factory test, the weather is typically tropical, no wind, no current, no waves, very little fuel, no water, no gear or equipment. One person and no bottom paint. Q5: Are you running premium fuel? The bottom paint and fuel can easily explain the difference. That engine hour report ...

Phil T

You really should do a comprehensive sea trial when purchasing a boat that substantial.

Hopefully you can find some poor conditions to give you a sense of how she handles in the snot.

Phil T

Unless you plan on servicing the engine yourself assess which, if any, local dealers service E-TEC engines.

Many dealers have ended service of E-TEC engines as a matter of principle--very short sighted if you ask me.

The repair technique you describe is appropriate for the hatches.

If the hatches that are not failing have a green line indicating exposed fiberglass, give them a thin coat of sealant to prevent them absorbing moisture.

For all models that include a below deck fuel tank, the bottom of the tank cavity is below the level of the bilge. The only model I can think of where it is practical to install a drain tube in the aft wall of the fuel cavity is the 1984-1989 Revenge 22 and 25 with the aft fish well. Several members...

Your 1991 OUTRAGE 17 boat has been really messed with. The console switches [see Figure 1 above] are not original. The method of energizing the rear is obtuse. I would not like it and would re-wire the switches so they are energized at the console only as most owners have done. The livewell pump wil...

The hull and deck colors are not paint; they are tinted gel coat resin. As for the original color scheme, you should detail the outside gunwales and interior to remove the oxidation and bring back the reflection. Owners are shocked to see the color and visual improvement in compounding the boat. If ...

The V-20 is sensitive to porposing as outlined in the reference article from Sal Mercurio's owner testimonial.

The 1990-1995 Outrage 17 I is a unique model in that it has a sump that is well below the waterline and it is not recommended to run the boat with the sump drain plug left open. A bilge pump is recommended for this and other reasons. While there are deck drains in the transom, on the 1991 model the ...

Phil T

The bilge pump is located in the stern sump. Walk aft, pull the cover to the baitwell. Remove the tub insert. Looking straight down, the pump should be in the lower level (left) of the sump. It could have a separate float switch or one that is integrated into the pump. The bilge switch is either a t...

Given the importance of this piece of hardware, I would not trust welding as it requires the removal of the galvanization. The galvanization material is highly toxic. Also note that the galvanization process penetrates the metal so its full removal is highly difficult. Welding requires the proper ma...

Check the weigh of the 15 and 20 and then add the additional weight to what you have in the boat.

You may find you need to shop across brands to find the least heavy.

Shop dealers hard, prices vary a lot.

Remember these boats are hand made. The photo above shows gelcoat spider cracking that is typically found on curving or corner surfaces when it was applied too thickly and has dried out due to exposure. It is cosmetic.

This model was only produced for 1 year, 2000.

The boat with only 135-HP is underpowered based on the published hull weight of 2,500-lbs and the experience with other models. I would expect a 175-HP or 200-HP engine would be appropriate.

A bimini is the recommended approach.

Carver is a respected brand for Boston Whaler's.

Follow these instructions. Order the stainless steel option.

You just need a piece of Sunbrella fabric, some grommets and sail cord.

You would need extensive fiberglassing experience.

The required effort would amount to hundreds of hours, thousands of dollars and a wrecked hull with limited to no resale value.

Get a 17' Super Sport instead.
