Joe,
I bought the 22' outrage. It's a 1989 model with a 2003 Mercury 150. Have been underway twice and very impressed with the boat. Was concerned that the 150 was not enough HP but the boat topped out at 34.8 MPH on my GPS on flat water with two adults onboard. Will use it through the summer and consider moving up to a 175 or 200 HP in the Fall.
The forward cooler is pretty well shot and I have been trying to tell what size/capacity it is. It's an Igloo and the closest thing in the West Marine catalog is a 94 quart model with dimensions that won't fit in the existing mahogany deck "holders". Any idea what size cooler came with these boats? Thanks.
