In the later years, fiberglass gunnels were standard and the teak was an option.

It is also possible that during that model year, the teak was a delete option (for credit)

In the 1987 model year, fiberglas gunnels were offered as an option for something under $400 additional. I believe that 1988 was the year that glass gunnels became standard and teak became the $400 option. While I do like the looks of freshly refinished and oiled teak, the glass gunnels make life a hole lot easier, especially if your boat is exposed to the elements all of the time, like mine.

Fiberglass was an option thru 1989, standard on the Outrage 19 beginning in 1990 with Teak being an extra cost option.

Hello Whalermaniacs,
At the least I have bought it, I have no other choices I have had to buy.
The boat is like new, was used only from june to august of each year and every time was taken off water.
The 2003 115 suzuki engine has 30 hours of life. ( every year inspected and serviced)
There is a second 6 hp four strokes
There is an electric anchor lift system and two sun shade.
Great boat and great condition
In future more photos
Thanks to all for the answer.
