I have only seen larger 25 and 27 models from the late 90's to present with whaler drives on them. The 22 guardians did have an upgraded transom option to get the boat to rate up to 300hp. Our guardian was built with that option and is rigged with twin 150 mercs. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

I ran across an 22 Outrage for sale (91 I believe) with Whalerdrive and twin 200's. They weigh the same as 150's, so weight was not a problem.

I would love to run across a classic 22 outrage cuddy, whalerdrive and no power. Give me a good project restoring it to like new condition and then hanging the power of my choice on the back.

He was thinking of selling it this winter and had someone interested in it however, I think he talked himself out of selling it. To rare of a boat to let go. I will say I am not sure how you plan to use the boat but, this model really does have very limited deck space and is not the easiest to fish. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive
