You will be well advised to;
1-Drain all the gas in the tank.
2-Remove anchor and anything that is not fastened down.
3-Make an accurate allowance for railings, fittings and all electrical wiring.
4- Verify the exact weight of the trailer by weighing the trailer by itself without the boat.
5-Weight the boat and trailer again and do the math.
6-Make sure that the scale that you will use is certified and accurate.
You should be within 1500 to 1700 LBS for the hull.
If a bit more heavy you can always blame it on the five gallons of water that your gas tank is bathing in, below the gas tank cover.
A bit here a bit there;
It will all ad up in the end.
If still to heavy;
Take steps to locate the source.

All,

Thank you for your good council on this boat project. I think I will stay the course with this boat (given I already have the trailer and motor for it) and try to rehab it for next summer. I doubt that this hull will ever weigh 15-1700 lbs again, but should be usable as is in any case.
I figure that I'll be into the entire project for $2,500 in the end, and that is less than a 3 week rental. With that boating reality, come next year I’ll be a boat ahead.


….Luke

Well the sanding and polishing continue. The shine is really starting to come through. Click on photo to enlarge.

Looks like money extremely well spent Scott...
How does it feel to have one of the Most attractive Outrage 19 Worldwide?

Thanks Jeff!

Serge, it feels pretty good. I have this goal of having a brand new classic 19 Outrage and for the first time I feel like I am going to achieve that goal. Its pretty cool.

Desert tan it is. I really like the color - its quite stunning in person. In the picture the boat looks wet but its dry. I cant wait to see it when the sanding and polishing done. There are a few areas that didn't come out as well as we hoped so they were re-shot.

How did they handle the non-skid? Seems to be a difficult challenge when regelcoating.

For the deck the non skid and gelcoat was ground off - Then a gibco (spelling not sure) flex mold was purchased. There are two ways to proceed from there. The way we went was to pour epoxy on the deck and lay the pattern on top of it. When it cured it was an epoxy non skid. Then you can spray the gelcoat on it like the rest of the boat.

The second way to do it is to grind it all down but pour gelcoat instead of epoxy. Hindsight being what it is that may have been the better route. We shall see.

Scott,
So you went with the Gibco non-skid product?
How did you like the result?and where did you apply on the boat (all your non-skid area?)
To ask for pics. would be useless..being that it's so small to even tell.

Richard, Yes we went with the Gibco product. Its like a flexible sheet of rubber or plastic. I think it turns out nice. We redid all the factory non skid on the floors as the existing was crazed like the rest of the boat. The non skid part is the last to get new gelcoat so I have only seen a small area where it was test sprayed and buffed. Its tough to say until you see the whole thing. I will do my best to take pics when that part is finished.

In the West System article on non-skid repair, they do it the same way, pouring the gelcoat and using the Gibco mold. But I've never heard of anyone who's tried it up to this point, especially for all the non-skid and not just a repaired section. Looking forward to hearing your impressions of how it turned out.

Do you know how big the sheet was from Gibco?

I know the sheet was available in several sizes and it was quite expensive. I'm not sure of the actual size he used. I do know it had to be done in sections.

Picked up a new (to me) motor for the 19 - I decided to go with a Suzuki 140 4 stroke - found this 2008 motor with less than 10 hours on it - Had to take a 19 Larson bowrider and trailer with it - I have 6 boats right now - Will be selling the 19 on ebay in a week or so - May have to consider selling the little Rage as well - just too much going on....

Scott - that boat is going to be a knockout when you're done. Great workmanship and attention to detail. You're going to love it when you get it in the water. And of course the new red rubrail system will be the finishing touch!
