Sure here is the link, but the photos did not show the hull very well. Had negotiated the price down but not enough to my liking given the ultimate condition. I had the weekend before seen a 1990 centre console (different brand) and the hull appeared super clean with no patches or nicks, and thus am using this as my comparison for other boats. In this Outrage, bottom spine of the hull (not sure if correct term) also had a metal strip bolted on front to back for beaching I would guess and based on marks all around there was a lot of that done during its life. Inside of boat was clean but also a bit rough around but I had no issues with it, for me it was all about the hull condition (which were all patched roughly). Did not see a red dot or WB in the serial number so it might just have been a regular model custom ordered. My friend who came with me and has over 20 yrs experience fixing boats told me price had to come down more for him to buy it and fix it. And for him, labor is free so it influenced my decision.
