1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

25' Outrage is 95% complete

Member Personal Page Project Albums Posts: 79 Comments: 3 Joined: 08/11/08	Hi RevengeFamily this is from an earlier post about the fire that we experienced...Also thanks for the picture comments..""On friday the 13th of june my son and I went to put my boat in the water for the first time of the season. A couple of days before I had the boat started so not to make a fool out of myself at the ramp and there were no problems. Anyway Jake and I stopped at the hess station for gas and the gas attendent told me they were out of gas but i could try and fill up. I was down to only 50 gallons so I went and put another 50 in for a fill. The whole time im filling I just thought with the price of gas I was getting jipped because I was getting the bottom of the barrel and when I finished they closed down the pumps. We left the station and went directly to the ramp. We backed the boat off the trailer and while my son was holding the boat i parked my truck. Than i jumped in the boat and turned the key and just like the movies the boat exploded it blew me up into the ttop and i got stitches and my son kept yelling for me to get out of the boat because i was on fire finally i snapped out of it and rolled onto the dock and into the water. My son was a hero to me that night and with all that happed i only walked away with a few stitches and no burns..God blessed me that night and thats why friday the 13th was a lucky night for me.

As one who has been trailering a 25 Outrage all over the place for 20 years, well over 100,000 miles, the only thing I can say is I think the trailer is too short for the boat. Particularly, the wheels are way too far forward, and she will fishtale all over the road on you in that location. A boat that size fishtaling you don't want! Move the wheel carriage back as far as you can, and you may be alright. Also pull the boat as far forward on the trailer as you can. Here's mine on the trailer: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v42...006-1A.jpg Also see the 4th photo here: http://continuouswave.com/whaler/ceta...age11.html Good luck in your travels. You will love the boat. According to the Commercial Products guys, it's the best hull Whaler ever designed. Which is why they're still making and selling them.
