I have a 2004 Outrage 240. The tank is 154 gallons not that I ever keep it full. I've got the 225HP which is a little underpowered. I don't go on many long cruises so I keep the tank less than half full, just because of the weight. Likewise, I don't keep a lot of water in the freshwater tank.

It is a very dry ride and it just cuts through waves. I think it feels like an old Cadillac chopping through the waves at speed - making for a comfy ride. I'm looking to hang a F350 on it when the Yamamerc dies, if ever...

There are lots of pumps and gizmos on the boat that need to be replaced over time (2 bait box, 2 bilge pumps, fresh water pump, raw water pump, head macerator, trim tabs...) . I replaced both bait box pumps this year and need to replace the trim tab pumps as well. The bait box pumps seem to last about 2 years. Prepare to spend $120 on each pump and bust your knuckles up a little.

It is a pleasure to drive and feels extremely stable and safe. Its obviously a well built boat. I get lots of comments on it.
