The cleanest 18 Outrage you will find for the Money

Mike Gephart who a an acquaintance of mine through many mutual friends has decided to sell his 1981 18 Outrage.  Mike is a great guy who takes outstanding care of his Whalers.  For the asking price of $10,900 you will have a tough time finding a better priced one in as nice of condition.

Spare 1993 Yamaha130 parts from previous engine except one carb because I sold it to another Continuouswave forum member. 

History:
I purchased this boat from the Continuouswave forum member JB Cornwell in August 2002. That winter I disassembled the entire boat. I pulled the console, floor and gas tank. I flipped the hull over and wet sanded and buffed the hull. I gel coated spots that needed it. I flipped the boat back over and wet sanded and buffed the inside of the hull.
I stripped, sanded and varnished all the bright work with Z-Spar varnish. Applied eight coats on each piece.
I buffed every piece of chrome on the boat. What couldn’t be buffed I had re-chromed.
In 2003 I took the boat up to Bayfield Wisconsin for a Whaler Rendezvous. Last day there engine threw a rod.
In 2004 I tore the engine apart. I figured out it would cost as much to fix it than to buy another one. I bagged and tagged all the spare parts.
In 2004 I found an identical ’93 Yamaha 130 online.
In 2004 I took the boat up to the Georgian Bay/North Channel Rendezvous and put 630 miles on the new engine. The engine ran flawless the entire time.
I used the boat off and on for the next six years. The last couple of years I have only used it a couple of times over the summer.
The boat has always been stored in my garage on a trailer for the summer and stored in a climate controlled warehouse for the winter.
The reason I’m selling the boat is we just don’t use it. Our kids are growing up and doing other things and it’s taking up space in the garage. The boat is located in St Paul, MN.

This boat and trailer are turn key. The hull has never had bottom paint and has been a trailer queen. 

There is some minor crazing and stress cracks in the gelcoat due to age. Keel rash in the bow was repaired in 2005. Annual maintenance performed including filters, fluid changes, spark plugs and lubrication of engine and trailer.
The fuel fill, vent and feed hoses were replaced as a precaution. Visual inspection of the fuel tank showed no significant presence of water. The cover was in good shape with no repairs needed. The foam surrounding the tank was dry. The fuel tank was not removed or pressure tested.

Not for everyone but DAMN cool in my book

Sure the Temptation was a red headed step child of the Whaler line up but, so what.  I love them.  This is a VERY rare boat in my book and one that should be sought after.  Mainly because it has no bottom paint which is rare for most any 25' Whaler.  Also, that 340hp 454ci Big block will move that boat long surely in the 55-60 mph range pretty easy.

17 Outrage 90hp Honda and trailer in Virgina for $7950

This really seems like a deal.  This a great model and provides a lot more storage space, comfort and ride than a 17 Montauk and is priced like one.  This is one that I doubt will be hanging around long.

22 Outrage I/O $12,500

To each their own but, honestly I love I/0 powered Whalers.  This is one of only a few 22 Outrage I/0's I have seen.  By looking closely at the images it looks like the outdrive is newer thus it has likely been repowered.  These I/O's provide a quite, smoke free and powerful ride. 

This hull looks to be well appointed and cared for.

Here is a link to it and it's owner

From the owner:

She is powered by a Yamaha I/O with a Chevy 305 4 bbl carb put in in 92 I think.  I replaced the risers and manifolds last year. Runs great and cursing speed is about 23 - 25 she drinks about 8 Gallons per hour according to fuel flow meter.  Top speed is about 40. Gelcoat is in great condition for its age.  There are some dings and touch ups but she is a great looking Outrage.  One of the best I’ve seen.

I think the gas tank is original but from what I can see it looks good.  Only problem is the gas gage doesn’t work.  Not sure if it is gage or sender.  I have a fuel flow meter so I just watch that to know what I have left.

She has a trailer that works well to get her to and from the ramp but might need some love to get to FL.

I will try to take more photos and get them to you.

Clean looking freshwater 22 Revenge $10,900

This one I may have to go take a look at myslef.  It is located in my In-laws old home town and I get back there fairly often.  None the less, for the price of an 18 Outrage or really nice Montauk for that matter you could be into this Revenge.  Honestly now after owning a larger Outrage and having a family I will say, that a Revenge makes for a FAR better family boat option.  While I do not like the way it sits on the trailer and of course the blue bottom paint, over all I think it could be a great deal.
