BOAT HISTORY: The original owner purchased this Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 22 new in Central Pennsylvania, where she was used sparingly on the Susquehanna River and trailered when not in use. The second owner purchased her in 1995 and enjoyed summer outings with his grandchildren on the Upper Chesapeake Bay, where she was dry-rack stored. During the off-season, she was always stored indoors.

MODEL HISTORY: The Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 22 (1979–1993) is an icon among Boston Whaler models. When introduced in 1979, she was the largest Boston Whaler hull produced to date. The factory catalogue described her as "the most brutally powerful machine ever to bear the Boston Whaler name."

The classic 22-foot hull retains the general design of earlier Boston Whaler models, with a runner or vestigial sponson on each side of the keel. These runners deflect spray downward and outboard while contributing lift as the hull transitions onto plane. Their lines continue forward before turning upward and inward at the bow stem, where they meet to form the distinctive "Whaler smirk," resembling a smile with downturned corners when viewed head-on.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT: Standard Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 22' factory equipment includes a 77-gallon fuel tank; 18" stainless-steel destroyer steering wheel; four forward lockers with fiberglass covers; teak gunwale boards; under-gunwale rod racks; bow eyes; bow bitt; recessed aft cleats with hawsepipe; pair of flush-mounted rod holders; fiberglass console with teak access doors, dash panel, door locks, Plexiglas windscreen and stainless-steel rail; mechanical steering with stainless-steel wheel; wiring panel with two pre-wired accessory switches, fuses and buss bar; fire extinguisher; navigation lights; and stainless-steel bow rail.

EXTRA OPTIONS: This Outrage 22' is factory-optioned with the highly desirable Super Deluxe Center Console, measuring 1' longer and 10" wider than the standard console. Features include lockable teak side doors, two teak storage bins, lower storage drawer, sliding Lexan access doors to the radio compartment, dash panel, wiring panel with two switches and fuses, aluminum-framed safety glass windshield, deluxe stainless-steel console rail, recessed fire extinguisher pocket, international navigation lights, and fire extinguisher.

Additional factory options include console rod holders, 94-quart Igloo cooler, fold-down stern seat, outriggers, spring-line cleats, stainless-steel side grab rails, console cover, Ritchie flush-mounted Helmsman compass, dual battery switches, Wm. J. Mills Suntop (bimini), hydraulic steering, Garmin GPS/sounder combination, and full boat cover.

PROPULSION: She was repowered in 2016 with twin Evinrude E-TEC 115-hp high-pressure direct fuel-injected outboard motors. Equipment includes the BRP E-TEC Smart Gauge option, twin four-blade Michigan Wheel stainless-steel propellers, and a spare set of three-blade OMC Renegade stainless-steel propellers.

The Evinrude E-TECs offer an excellent power-to-weight ratio, are very simple to maintain, and operate as quietly as or quieter than four-stroke outboards, with lower emissions than a four-stroke.

At the time of repowering, the original internal fuel tank was removed and replaced with a brand-new, OEM-specification 80-gallon stainless-steel center tank. All fuel and vent lines were replaced with upgraded ethanol-resistant hoses, and both soft-patch fiberglass deck sections were re-cored.

Both motors have received their first 300-hour service and remain in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. They look and run like new and, when properly maintained, will provide many years of reliable operation and enjoyment.

TRAILER: She is accompanied by a 2004 Load-Rite galvanized dual-axle trailer with keel rollers, side bunks, and hydraulic disc brakes on both axles.

TDC COMMENTS: This Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 22 rides extremely well offshore and offers excellent security for children with her stainless-steel side rails and fold-down full-width stern seat.

This is a fine example of an original, highly optioned Classic Boston Whaler 22' Outrage, retaining its desirable factory configuration while benefiting from newer twin Evinrude E-TEC power and an upgraded 80-gallon stainless-steel fuel tank.

Anticipated to be ready to splash for the 2027 boating season, this impressive Outrage 22 is sure to make you the envy of the harbor for years to come!
