It seems to be mostly original and cared for pretty well. Whadya think?

You did good. Here is what I see.... Original Leaning Post. Original Instrument and Switch Panels on the console. Looks like Original Console Rod Holders. Replacement 94 qt Igloo Marine Cooler. Optional Original Grab Rails. Original Masthead Light. Original Stern Light. One thing I had forgotten about on some of the earlier Outrage models. Removable Bow Steps.... I am going to do a little research and find out what year they incorporated the built-in bow steps on the Outrage 20' and possible the 22'.... I think the 18' always had built-in bow steps. I kinda like the storage you get in the removable bow steps........ OK, I did a little research on the removable bow steps. Apparently these were used only in the Outrage 20' models and from 1980 to 1986. It is possible that the removable steps were also in the 1987 model but I cannot confirm this. The 1988 model Outrage 20' definitely has the built-in bow steps. Just for the record...... P.S. I put your photos in your Personal Page for you. All you have to do is put in a title and label the photos.... http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...l_page.php Edited by Joe Kriz on 06/06/07 - 4:03 PM

Member Personal Page Posts: 735 Comments: 7 Joined: 02/15/07	Thanks Joe I was actually thinking of removing those bow steps because I think it looks better without them. The edge trim around the steps is an ugly brown plastic that looks like rusty metal. Maybe I'll try a cream color or black to see how that looks. It's just a push on type of trim that I should be able to buy cheap. They might look better if I put teak doors on them too. I pulled out a couple of the drain tubes that were below the water line and it seems to me that no water was getting into the hull. When it was in the water, the water line was about 4 inches out of the water. I ordered new drain tubes, o-rings, and the flaring tools today. The motor runs good too. I will fix up my personal page soon. Edited by arthureld on 06/06/07 - 7:21 PM

To bad you still do not live in the Detroit Area as you could have the great pleasure of having Dave over at Lockemans service your motor. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

BTW, here's a link to a page that will help decode your engine model number and tell you what year it is, very useful: http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2149855880091848696dwXGwE Enjoy the boat!

Member Personal Page Posts: 735 Comments: 7 Joined: 02/15/07	Thanks guys. I'm having someone paint the bottom and service the motor this week. Then I have to install all the drain tubes and polish it up a bit before I put it in the water. Won't be long now. Thanks for the link Derwd24
