Anyone looking for a ribside dump truck banana?

Also the bow railing looks like it is off 20 or 22 Outrage. Wonder if it is a converted Outrage III. One day I will own a ribside. One day. Edited by Jeff on 03/23/09 - 10:56 AM

Especially if the boat in is clean, well kept, free of major gelcoat / glass issues, and has good power. Actually I thought the price was pretty fair. To the point of "If I sold the Newport and 13...." If the boat is a 1972 it would not have that console as that style was not introduced until 1973. I know TWC can weigh in with the right answer but, I do not think the ridsided Outrage ever had this console on it from the Factory. (?) Edited by Jeff on 03/23/09 - 11:15 AM

I think it was at the place where I had my boat restored, after Ike. Bow rail pretzeling looks familiar. I tried to buy the leaning post out of it. It was a mess. I think the story was that the owner had two Whalers, and only had time to move one before the storm. Left this one tied to a dock. At least I think that was the story...

The bow rail is probably from a later Outrage as Jeff points out. Maybe someone put the top skin of a ribside on a later hull? Or do we have a transitional hybrid here?

Member Posts: 1987 Comments: 34 Joined: 04/02/05	Tom, That is what I thought on the console. I mentioned the Outrage III conversion because #1 the winged console did not make sense and I figured swapping out the Cohasset console for the winged console would be easy and a likely occurrence. Also, it provides more helm space than the Cohasset console. I think if the Teak console was installed in the first place it would most likely still be there or, you may see patched holes in the deck. #2 the cap shows no holes for an OEM railing and the Outrage III did not have a bow rail. So, the later retrofit of this railing would make more sense. Edited by Jeff on 03/23/09 - 1:05 PM
