Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Need Floor Panel, 1985 18ft Boston Whaler Outrage

I am looking for a source to purchase the floor panel for a 1985 18' Boston Whaler Outrage, located on MS Gulf Coast. Any Help would be appreciated.

Hi, I'll bite. What's wrong with the "deck panel" on your Outrage? Soft, spongy? If so, and not a broken deck panel, then all you have to do is remove the deck and take off the old plywood core, clean up the underside of the deck panel and make a new one. Be sure to use lots of weight, free weights, concrete blocks, 5 gal. pales of water etc., when applying the new ply wood to get all the air pockets out.

I have one available but with freight prices, it is not economical for you. A good local fiberglass guy should be able to replicate one if the outside skin is too far gone.

Whalerman & Shad Burke, thank you for the replies, When I purchased the boat the floor panel had been removed and replaced with several pieces a very poorly designed cheap starboard. Shad Burke can you tell me what your panel would cost at your location, this is my first rodeo with restoring a whaler so any information is appreciated. Also where are you located, I would like to check LTL rates just in case.

How much is the panel at your location, my company does allot of shipping and I may be able to get a descent freight rate. What are the dimensions and weight, also any pictures.

Thanks
