Is the water line below, at or above the spashwell drains on the transom when the boat has a full fuel load and sitting empty at the quay? 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

If the battery is in the splashwell (standard), moving it to the console will help attitute. Is this boat near Brittany by any chance? There are not many Outrage 20's in France so if the price is reasonable, I would suggest you buy it.

The boat was weighed 3200 lbs: Hull : 1850 Fuel (19*6.5) : 123 Gear : 50 Cushions, rigging, battery : 90 Anchor, chain, fenders, safety equipment : 75 Engine with prop, fluids: 500 Total : 2700 lbs The différence is 500 lbs. What do you think about this? What about drilling holes in the hull in différent places to check if there is some water. Is is useful? The battery is not in the splashwell, and was moved to the console. The boat is in Brittany, near Bréhat Island. Very nice place! You're right, there are not many Outrage 20's in France. The price is reasonable for France, but the fuel tank has to be changed, the gelcoat to be repaired and some original accessories are missing. I am really interested that why I need advice to be sure not to have bad surprise.

If the weight is from a scale, does the boat have all the items I include? Is the fuel tank full? Anchor, lines, fenders, tools. Note the 1850 is a general number. The boat was made by hand so some were a little more. ~ 1925 lbs. Drill holes in the deck is never helpful and just means they have to be fixed. I do not recommend this. Change the drain tubes as a precaution) and run the boat. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
