In the article they show a guys 1980 22 Outrage in which he added a 2 foot closed transom extension. Really quite cool. http://www.soundingsonline.com/compon...32942.html sraab928 attached the following image: [47.89Kb] Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

Member Posts: 1607 Comments: 9 Joined: 05/09/07	Yeah, it almost looks like the center unit is the size of a Whaler Drive, and the outer pieces are the 2' extensions of the sides. Never thought of trim tabs, that's probably it. One of the great things about a mod like this is the ability to incorporate things like that into the overall design. Dave - 1983 Outrage 22

Looks like a bastard reverse sheer post-classic stern. Why not do a splash dam or traditional full transom with brackets or sell the boat and buy a full transom model. Then again, his boat, his choice. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

Member Posts: 1607 Comments: 9 Joined: 05/09/07	Interesting suggestions Phil, I've thought about them both for my 22'. But the splash dam is tricky due to the way the splash well has been moulded into the hull. And the full transom seems a better solution, but the bracket will change the static trim of the boat, and ours is already stern heavy. His design seems a bit more like a Whaler Drive with a swim platform integrated into it. The extra flotation would come in very handy. Dave - 1983 Outrage 22

I think its one heck of an accomplishment for a homegrown project. I myself would have chosen a different (less Euro) line but I guess that's why Haagen Dazs has so many flavors. Also the magazing Soundings. If you haven't picked up a copy you might want to check it out - There was also an article in their on a guy who redid his Nauset console and made a rear bench for a 72 Outrage 21 with twin 90's.

I think while on a steady plane, the radar will be shooting into space on the forward side of the sweep and into the water on the backside of the sweep. Doug
