I'm looking at a 1989 Frontier-25 and would like to locate some diagrams of the interior components. Best source?

Thanks.

Rob -

As you may know the Frontier was produced by Brunswick'Commercial Government Products Division http://www.brunswickcgp.com/.

It was based on the Outrage 25 with enhancements to the hull and heavy duty features. Drawings are harder to come by then the recreational boats made by Boston Whaler.

What are you specifically interested in learning more about?

I would like to learn more about what is below decks without unscrewing the large deck plate. To learn more about where the foam is vs interior & hull fiberglass layers.

Today I did a sea trial on a 1989 F-25 and proceded to sign the purchase agreement. The twin 150 Johnson's have uniform compression readings although on the low side. She gets up out of the hole nicely and was cruising at about 28 knots around 4000 rpm with three and a half (one large guy) on board.

Thanks,

Rob

The hull of the Frontier is the same as any 25 footer. A search of the web site will turn up some good articles and perhaps some illustrations or photograph of what is under the fuel tank cover.

As Tom mentions, we have many items here to download and articles to read.

To start, download the wood locating diagram for the 25' models.

Also take a look at the Commercial Hull information from theses downloads.

As Phil mentions, can you be more specific at what you are looking for?
Interior components is fairly broad....

Thanks, guys. Let me do some study on the sites you noted. I've had several other boats but this is my first experience with a Whaler. I want to learn about her and do the best I can for her.

I am looking at a frontier 25. Is the HP rating the same for.all hulls? I would like to find out the rating for the IO hull. Thanks for any responses.

---

Some of the 25 hulls had a Mercrusier 330 hp 454CI engine from the factory. The 25 hull was rated for 300 hp outboard power but some of the beefed up commercial hulls I have seen had twin 200 engines on them.

Looking to replace twin Evinrude 150s on my Frontier-25. Present engines power the boat nicely but they are tired. Want to stick with twins as replacements and will be looking at newer Evunrudes or Mercury. Comments?

Thanks, Rob

Brad over at Mertaugh's can hook you up with a pair of E-TEC 175's that would fit that boat nicely, and really get you around the islands in a hurry if you needed to. Is your boat in Cedarville or Hessel? We have a seasonal place on LaSalle Island...

---

The Frontier-25 is rated for 300 hp and I'm not interested in beefing it up to accommodate the 175s. Boat is kept on McKay Bay in season depending where you are on LaSalle you've probably seen Grey Goose pass by.

I have twin 150 2013 Merc 4 strokes on my 25 and am very happy with them. Quiet and push the boat with 2 good sized guys just shy of 50 MPH. Plenty fast to get some where in a hurry.

Thanks, Duf. It is eary in my search for replacements engines. Good to know the extra weight of the 4 stroke allows the to be used on the F25.

Rob:
On my 1989 Revenge 25 Walkaround, I re-powered with a single Suzuki DF200 which works great. WOT is about 29 K and a good cruise is 20- 22 K. This motor sips the fuel and what we like is that it will run all day at 10 mph on those sections of the Erie Canal with speed limits.The 200 does not have the complexity of the 225's and 250's with variable valve timing etc. I consider it "de-tuned".

Except for the big boys I don't get why you see so many twins. Heck, outboard motors don't quit any more than IO's or inboards longs as they get fuel, not to mention the weight on the stern and additional fuel burn.
