Looking for photos of an Outrage 18 SDL

If you have any pictures of the set up, can you please post them? I'm interested in building a fore deck like it for a 22. I dont think there is anything with this setup in that hull size, so something will have to be built. Thanks! Rob

And the special foredeck it has? 19 Outrage II (1992)

Here is an older photo of an Italian dealer advertisement. See the 3rd to last photo in triofale's personal page. http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...user_id=22 Many Europeans like the "Sun Deck Lounge" option on many of their boats.

If you are looking for ideas on how to copy this, you might want to glance at the later variant of the Outrage 18, the 19 Outrage II. The bow area was changed to a flat deck with two side-by-side lockers, rather than a single recessed center locker with stepped up sides. This might give you some ideas. My 19 Outrage II has a custom (made by Finnegan) platform that extends the flat bow deck aft to, and around, the center console. With storage underneath. It is very similar to the casting platforms that were available for the Montauk models. So with this extension, I essentially have the SDL. It's a nice bit of handiwork. I wish I could show you a photo, but I have never been successful at posting photos here. 19 Outrage II (1992)

There is no such boat ever manufactured by Whaler called an Outrage 18 "SDL" It must be some homemade aftermarket offering, perhaps by a Whaler dealership, who put their own homemade name or designation on a conventional Outrage 18, using some locally manufactured accessory. I have seen a few situations where this marketing ploy was used. As far as I know, i was the first person to design a special insert forward deck for an Outrage 18 back in 1990. I made mine out of solid 4/4 teak, and it was done to level out the bow deck for two people to cruise and sleep aboard the boat, under a full Mills canvas system. See photo. The deck also extends along both sides of the console for additional foot room, not visible in the photo. http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/l...A==/?ref=1 I also know of a few people who observed this deck in person, and then outfitted their own boats with something along the same idea. One was an Outrage 18 (a boat since parted out and sold due to accident damage), and one was an Outrage 22, still in beautiful condition. And since JRP has contributed to this discussion, I should also say I designed the teak deck extenting the bow area in his boat, which was previously owned by a good friend and cruising companion. All of these bow platform extentions actually began with the 1961 Sakonnet, and then later with the 1971 Outrage 21 (Ribside), which was standard equipment on the Outrage I and Outrage II models. When I bought mine, this deck was missing, so I had to design and build a new one for my boat, also made from 4/4 teak. See photos. http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/l...Tk=/?ref=1 http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/l...TE=/?ref=1 Edited by Finnegan on 01/10/18 - 11:43 AM

I was hoping that people may have come across photos in order to save time or provide input as I build my own. So, please keep posting photos if you can. Thanks again!

See the last few photos in his personal page. http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...r_id=19174 His is more for sleeping then the Sun Deck Lounge but still the same layout.

Underneath the pad is a marine grade plywood platform with stainless hinges in the front. The pads are on the base and around the bow. you can see it in the 5th and 8th photos on my personal page. Sorry I don't have a better view. Edited by Joe Kriz on 01/14/18 - 4:18 PM
