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.

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.

That is a dreamboat OUTRAGE 18.
To get there from what you started with must have involved a lot of scrubbing.
It is hard to see the level of finish in your restoration, but seeing the boat afloat it looks a million-times better than when you bought it.

Spectacular job restoring a classic. She is a real head-turner.

The teak wood gunwales and trim are really nice. Perhaps you can describe the method you used to bring back that wonderful, rich teak look.
