1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

This year outrage has no wood trim in the boat and i would like to keep it that way. I have found some that are made of mahogany but i was interested in finding something that does not require wood maintenance.

It is the same Z leg as our 1990-1995 Outrage 17 I. Something like this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/ChoiceDek-Fo...ft/4642699 I have seen a few members fabricate the riser out of welded aluminum.

Turn out nicely and, by rising the RPS by 3", a 72 Qt. Igloo cooler can fit under it. http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae...cooler.jpg 1991 Outrage 17' I - 2005 E-Tec 90hp
