BOAT HISTORY: The original owners purchased this 1987 Classic Boston Whaler 18’ Outrage new at Great Lakes Marine in Littleton, Colorado in 1987. She was rarely used and stored on her trailer, always covered, and in a barn. She was never kept in the water overnight or stored outside. The second owner purchased the boat in 2021 and moved her to central Wisconsin where she was stored in a heated garage and, again, rarely used. To date, this 1987 Classic Boston Whaler 18’ Outrage has never seen saltwater, has never spent a night in the water or outside.

BOAT CONDITION: This 1987 Classic Boston Whaler 18’ Outrage is in incredible, original condition as evidenced by the rich, glossy gelcoat, well-preserved teak trim and soft/supple original upholstery. All chrome, stainless-steel fittings and hardware are in excellent condition with no rust, corrosion or pitting. The original interior/exterior gelcoat is in remarkable condition with none of the crazing that many older Classic Boston Whalers develop. She has never had any bottom paint.

**This entire package is a “10” and the absolute best that a Classic Boston Whaler 18’ Outrage has to offer.

MODEL HISTORY: The Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 (1981-1990) is a true gem among the many Classic Boston Whaler models. The Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 was designed for operating in big waves and big water and for finishing offshore. The hull shape retained the refined bow lines with the classic "smirk" (formed by carrying the line of the runners up and across the bow). The resulting Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 hull was able to provide excellent lateral stability, while also providing a much-improved ride in waves and chop when compared to the Classic Boston Whaler 17-foot hull. The Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 freeboard is slightly higher than the smaller Classic Boston Whalers, which yields a deeper cockpit.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT: Standard Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 features include Standard Console with teak access doors, dash panel, locks, Plexiglas windscreen, stainless steering wheel, switch panel with 2 pre-wired accessory switches, fuses and buss bar and stainless console rail; 63-gallon fuel tank; stainless bow rail; two swivel seats; recessed aft cleats with hawsepipe; rod racks; pair of flush mounted rod holders; bow locker with fiberglass cover; teak gunwale boards; international navigation lights; fire extinguisher; bow bitt; lifting eyes; battery box with hold-down strap; heavy-duty rub rail. The cockpit features the standard Whaler center console and offered a choice of seating arrangements, principally either the standard twin swivel seats, optional teak Reversible Pilot Seat, or optional leaning post. A full-width upholstered bench seat could be ordered to provide more seating in the stern. A cooler seat and bow cushions could augment seating forward of the console. The Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 was one of the smallest boats to offer an integral fuel system. This large fuel capacity (63-gallons) gave this boat the ability to make long trips without refueling.

FACTORY OPTIONS: Factory options on this Classic Boston Whaler 1987 Outrage 18 include a reversible pilot seat with cushioned base, Ritchie Navigator flush mount lighted compass, recessed teak fire extinguisher pocket, Igloo 86qt cooler with cushion and mahogany deck mounted cooler chocks, console rod holders with backrest cushions, stainless side railings, large Whaler hull decals, Wm J Mills console cover, Wm J Mills suntop (bimini), and Boston Whaler tan battery box w/Kevlok strap.

PROPULSION: Originally rigged with a 1987 Johnson 150hp outboard, she was repowered in 2013 with a highly desirable, Evinrude E-TEC 150hp high pressure direct fuel injected, electric start outboard with power trim/tilt, BRP system check gauge, and a full set of OMC/BRP gauges (tachometer, speedometer, trim position, and battery ammeter). The Evinrude E-TECs have an excellent power/weight ratio, are very simple to maintain and are quiet or quieter than 4-stroke outboards with less emissions than a 4-stroke. The motor has extremely low hours and in excellent condition. The motor looks and runs like new. When properly maintained, the motors will provide many years of reliable operation and enjoyment. The 150hp E-TEC offers the best power/weight ratio and technology of all available outboards for the 18’ hull.

TRAILER: This Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 is fit to a custom painted bunk OKT Oklahoma Trailer with hydraulic surge brakes in excellent condition.
