Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos

Hi,

I am trying to locate a place to purchase an rps rear backrest cushion for my Outrage II. I cannot seem to find any information about it at all. The outrage II seems to be hard to find any information on at all

Thanks

There is no model called the Outrage 2.

Please state the year and model of your boat and what type of RPS you have. There are several designs in wood and fiberglass.

Here is the list of models with photos:

There were several Outrage II models but not 2 models...

And Phil is correct, we need to know the year and size Outrage II model.
Outrage 17 II
Outrage 19 II
Outrage 21 II
etc., etc.....

Always helps to have all the information so we know exactly what someone is talking about rather than trying to guess.

In 1972, Boston Whaler brought out the Outrage II (ribside).

They actually made three models of the hull, which would be a nice addition and clarification in the Whaler Model listings.

The Outrage I had the cooler base fixed Pilot Seat

The Outrage II was original introduction of the RPS, first with aluminum legs.

The Outrage III was a bare bones model with "lecturn" center console.

Since there were no other Outrages during this time, there was no foot designator in the names.

The 1972 catalog, page 10, still shows all 3 models listed under:
Outrage...Boston Whaler 21'4"

An Outrage 21 no matter how we want to look at it.

The "II" is the roman numerals for 2. The boat would be pronounced "Outrage two." I think we all knew what he meant...

cwk,

I have been doing this a long time and never "assume" anything...

Outrage 2 could be a typo for Outrage 22....... but leaving out the other 2....

I realize this member is new so we just have to find out "EXACTLY" what boat he is referring to without having to guess.

I am not sure your guess is correct.....
More info from the original poster is needed.

Sorry for all of the confusion. I guess I know now that I need to be more specific about my posts.....

I do have a 17 foot outrage II model year 1996-1999. The reason that I know this is from the model pictures on the left side of the home page of this website, thank you.

So, what I am asking for is if anyone knows about the rps with the aluminum (I think) legs. I have found much info about the wooden rps used in the outrage I, but few info about the Outrage II model.

I am glad that so many people responded, and hope to hear from you all soon.

Please let me know if there is any other info you may need to know.
