The cockpit drainage design of the classic Outrage is poor at best and surprising considering the overall quality of design for Boston Whaler. Why a boat of that size would not be completely self draining is beyond me. I know the boat won't sink but the sump design seems foolish and allows the gas tank to partially sit in water if the plug is out. Many other manufacturers build 17' boats that are fully self draining. Why couldn't Whaler design the classic Outrage to do so?
