Any opinions, advice, etc. you can give me on this boat would be great. It appears to be in very good shape. (fixed model name) Edited by Phil T on 03/20/19 - 9:15 AM

The Outrage 17 II is a great model, superior seakeeping. Trailers easily. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

(Edit: please follow guideline #1 at the top of this page and use the FULL 4 digit year.) Edited by Joe Kriz on 03/21/19 - 8:18 PM

As for the 17' Outrage II...mine is a 1999 model, great overall boat. I've taken mine in rivers, bays and the ocean. Not much I don't think it could not do. Does get tight with 2 other adults, but thats to be expected for a small boat. "For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'" John Greenleaf Whittier
