I have an opportunity to purchase 1994 Outrage. Does anybody know of anything special I should be looking for when checking her out? 200 Merc w/ 8hp Evinrude.
21 ft. Supposedly started her life new in Bellingham, WA. Has been on the Oregon coast since 2005, where she has been stored on the trailer. Not used since Feb, 2006. Stored open, outside on trailer. Other than needing a good bath she looks pretty good. No visible hull damage, (cracks, dings, etc.).
In addition to the two motors has vhf, depth sounder, gps.
After reading everything I can find on this great site about water logging, fuel line failures, drain failures, etc. I'm a bit concerned. Not overly concerned, but trying to learn.
Is there a way to find out what the factory weight should be for this model? One suggestion seems to be to weigh her (net of trailer) as a method to check for water log damage. Thoughts?
I would try and locate a 1994 Boston Whaler catalog or purchase the entire CD Catalog collection from Tom W Clark.
Here is some info from the 1994 catalog.
Length = 20' 9"
Beam = 8' 6"
Draft = 14"
Weight = 2500 lbs. (standard model) (no engine)
Fuel Tank = 122 gallons
Max HP = 300
Min HP = 150
Persons Capacity = 11
