Welcome aboard - saw that boat last week - a member of our facebook group (Boston Whaler Outrage Banana Hull Owners (1970-1982)) shared the listing when he found it. I didn't think it would last long.
Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the club!

Cadman,
A great find to be sure..
And one that I could have liberated
If not so far removed.
Enjoy the work
Congratulations are in order.

I am really excited to get the chance to show how Boston whalers were really made in the day!
Our Harbormaster in Rowley, MA also uses a ribbed Outrage as his patrol boat.
The hull on this thing is pretty mint, there are just two main things i really have to take of.
1) The through hull brass/copper drain has corroded and is pretty much non existent. So a new stainless pipe insert will be installed and epoxied in to prevent more water to get into hull.
2) Up at the bow the wood that supports the platform by the bow railing has rotted in two places, I would like to use 3/16 - 1/4 aluminum plate to support the area under.
I cant believe how light these boats are! this thing is really going to fly. Or, easily get push off a sand bar if run a-ground

Congratulations.
Looks like she will clean up real nice.
What is that plywood on the port transom?

it was for a kicker engine, i just sawed it off, the guy before me drilled like 9 holes in hull for bolts!
time to plug up with wooded dowels and Marine Tex / west system it.
