Of course,Whaler nineteen it is.
And this before the Outrage name from the Classic Outrage 21 was applied to the slightly shorter hull version called the Whaler nineteen.
As to why the nineteen was produced will rely on the under 20' preferred size from recreational boaters of the times.
The demand for a smaller version of the original twenty one footer was obviously there but has remained undocumented from a management decision level up to this date.
The Whaler 19 1972 number 00055 was surveyed and rejected as the owner Jim Swan had run the boat with the aft sump through hull and stern tube missing ans seal less.
I surveyed and took possession of the 1975 Classic Outrage # 000771 and refitted accordingly.
The 1975 version of the Outrage seems to be a beefier or heavier duty version of the compared older version IE- Whaler 19.
