Re: Converting a Temptation to a Center Console
Thank you Jim, I have not posted an update because I have had little time to operate the boat and investigate her capabilities: the OUTRAGE is living on a lift in the backyard in Florida. I have been mostly living in a Hotel in Denver for over three months due to work. I have maybe an hour on the bo...

Re: Converting a Temptation to a Center Console
I will add some more commentary once she is in the water. I can't wait to report the performance. The gel coat on all of the hull is in fact the Temptation white. The the live well/leaning post, acquired from a 90s post classic Outrage, is a close shade of white; it just looks bluish in the photos. ...

Re: 1988 25-foot Hull with Whaler Drive Re-power
Q1: what is the gear ratio of the Ox-66 250-HP engine? 1.75:1 Q2: what is the maximum allowed engine speed of the Ox-66 250-HP engine? 5500 Q3: what will be the total boat weight of the 25-foot hull when on the water with your regular load of passengers, fuel, and gear? I'm estimating 5200 lbs

1988 25-foot Hull with Whaler Drive Re-power
I have a 1988 25-foot hull with Whaler Drive. I plan to re-power with a used pair of 2001 Yamaha 250-HP Ox-66 engines.
Give me a recommendation for propellers.
ASIDE: the capacity plate says maximum power is 450-HP.

Re: Re-powering TEMPTATION 2500 with Twin Engines
Q1: what are the real world downside considerations for using twin 250-HP or twin 300-HP engine to replace twin 225-HP engine that have carburetors and were two-stroke-power-cycle engines?

Re: Re-powering TEMPTATION 2500 with Twin Engines

Re: Re-powering TEMPTATION 2500 with Twin Engines
I don't understand what information in that old thread you found to shake up your assumptions of a Whaler Drive. I have a 22-footer with an Aluminum bracket and a 25-footer with a Whaler Drive. I love them both. I am a hardcore Boston Whaler, and I believe the Whaler Drive to be the ultimate engine...

Thank you Jim, I think that thread is the one I was being directed to. [That thread has] great information. It shakes up my assumptions of the Whaler Drive. My 22 Outrage has a closed transom and a single Yamaha Ox66 250 on a Custom Marine Bracket, I would have believed the WD was superior in every ...

Re-powering TEMPTATION 2500 with Twin Engines
I have a TEMPTATION 2500, and I plan to re-power. The boat currently has twin Yamaha 225-HP engines with carburetors. I consider the boat to be well-powered and not over-powered. In 2023, new V6 engines seem to be basically the same engines at power ratings of 225, 250, and 300-HP. I have assumed th...

Re: Converting a Temptation to a Center Console
I'll explain; We've been looking for 25 Outrage with a Whaler Drive for most of the last 20 years. We are content with our 22 Outrage, so it has not been a must find item, but we've still been looking. We have not found a suitable candidate that we thought was an adequate value. Most that I've seen ...

BACK STORY I just purchased a 25-footer with Whaler Drive. The engines are twin 1998 Yamaha 200-HP two-stroke, perhaps TXRW models. My Yamaha 250 Ox66 engine has been one of the best engines I've owned. Q: What is the difference in [fuel] efficiency between the 1998 Yamaha carburetor engine and the ...

Carburetors v. Fuel Injection
Among Yamaha two-stroke-power-cycle engines of similar age and horsepower, what difference in “performance” and fuel economy will occur between engines with carburetors and engines with fuel injectors?

Re: 1981 Outrage V-22 Sterndrive
I have a 1981 22 Outrage originally with stern drive. Love the closed transom. Bought her in a closed bid auction when Chicago Marine closed down and liquidated the owner's collection. The plan was to find a diesel stern drive setup and re-power (actually just power, mine came only as a bare hull, n...

Life has been in the way for a while. The youngest is done with College and all the kids are now educated.
