1987 Outrage 18

Postby LFB » Wed May 17, 2023 1:59 pm

I just purchased a neglected 1987 Outrage [18]. I am pretty sure it hadn't moved in about five years, as I have passed it periodically at a storage facility. On May 12, 2013, on a whim, I asked the front desk for the owners number.

That 1987 OUTRAGE 18 will look much better after a good wash and scrubbing. You can probably triple your investment in a few hours of hard work.

Based on the registration number on the hull, it looks like a the 1987 OUTRAGE 18 was from Michigan.

jimh:

The boat was previously registered in Mississippi (MI).

Masbama:

It was found in coastal Alabama.

The after cleaning pictures look amazing. It's hard to believe it's the same boat.

Hah! You are so right. I forgot that the boat registration codes are much older than the postal ZIP codes, and Michigan is MC for boats and MI for postal. And that is really dumb because I live in Michigan.
