APPRAISAL: 1993 OUTRAGE 17
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2022 7:07 am
I looked at [a 1993 OUTRAGE 17] boat that is for sale for $12,000 and the seller will not reduce the price.
[The boat condition] is okay, but somewhat of a project.
The [1993 OUTRAGE 17 boat] structure appears to be okay. I found fiberglass had been patched near the bow and on the port side. The seller said there was some damage from rocks that he patched with gel coat.
The bottom of the boat [hull] has been painted and should be repainted.
One [trailer] cross member has to be replaced.The fenders are rusty and should be painted. The trailer lighting and wiring have to be replaced.
The [E-TEC 90-HP engine] has 1,200-hours. The seller say the engine runs well and starts easily. The engine appears in great shape with no scratches or corrosion.
The seller says the fuel tank is the original, is a polyurethane tank, and should last for a very long time.
The panels that hold the instrument gauges should be replaced, or at least painted.
This boat has a live bait tank, forward of the [engine] splash well. [There are] rod holders on the railings. There are several storage rod holders.
The seat behind the helm is reversal seat to sit on while fishing. This seat and backrest has to be reupholstered.
A bimini top folds down and forward and out of the way; it appears in good condition.
The boat needs cleaning.
What do you think?
