Hi All,
New member and first time boat buyer here. I am looking at a 1996 Outrage 17 II with a Johnson Oceanrunner 150hp.
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)

Would this be the Gulf Coast Special Edition in Florida?
The Outrage 17 II is a great model, superior seakeeping. Trailers easily.

anyone have an opinion on the life of the
1997 johnson 150hp oceanrunner that comes with it? i believe it is original from when the boat was new. it looks VERY clean inside and out in the pictures.
(Edit: please follow guideline #1 at the top of this page and use the FULL 4 digit year.)

Can't really comment on the Johnson but from what I've heard, they arebnb pretty reliable...I've heard them referred to as bullet proof, but thats just from what I've read about them....
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.
