Hi all, I tested today a 2004 240 outrage near Beirut, Lebanon and I think I will purchase her. The leaning looks different from the ones I see on the internet. It does not have the cushion that flip upwards when driving while standing up, and the live well has a see through smaller door and does not have the 2 rod holders.
Is anyone familiar with that leaning post and any guessing why it is installed there?
Regards,
Tony

A whaler exported may have different features than one sold in the
US.

It is also possible the local Whaler dealer switched the leaning post out for the original owner.

A photo would help. Post it on a sharing site and insert a link to it.

The 2004 Outrage 240 did not have a flip-up back rest on the leaning post, it had a removable back rest which may simply be missing on this boat.

Actually, taking a closer look, the Outrage 240 came with helms eats as standard equipment but had three different optional leaning posts.

I suspect the boat you are looking at has one of these that is different than what you have seen before on other Outrage 240s.
