Mine is probably one you’ve seen listed (if by listed you mean mentioned in the signature block.)
The 19 Outrage II is a derivative of the classic Outrage 18. It has the same exterior hull, but with a different interior and a transom only notched for a single outboard. It was made from model years 1992-1995, inclusive.
To confuse things further, there was a two year period (1990-1991) when Boston Whaler re-named the same old Outrage 18 the Outrage 19. It was the same boat, just a different model name (the hull is 18.5 feet - - I guess they decided to round up instead of down.) That model is usually called the 19 Outrage I to distinguish it from the later 19 Outrage II version that I own (and the earliier Outrage 19 banana hull.)
