CONTINUOUSWAVE

I owned a 1996 Outrage 17II for 12 years.... Thanks for this. The F130 will be [result in a lower boat speed] than the F150. The F130 will also feel slower than the 1390 2-stroke; bringing this question: Q99: will the F130 be enough for the boat? I only pull one skier at a time, and they are teenag...

Is the battery already in the console? If it is in the stern, highly recommend moving to the console. The shifting of weight forward will really help lessen stern weight. The battery is already in the console, but weight-distribution point noted. I hope they will allow some prop testing, at least w...

Phil--many thanks for this. All very helpful. I am based in Cornwall, UK. Almost certainly Robin Curnow in Penryn.

Hi Phil--Thanks for your reply. To hear that the F150 will be okay is good. My main concern is the F130 might not being quite powerful enough for the weight of the boat.

The old Yamaha 130 2 stroke weighs 160kg (352 lbs), so the 130 4-stroke at 172kg is quite a similar weight. Whereas the F150, at 242kg is a differen...

My 1996 17' Outrage II needs to be re-powered because its current Yamaha 130-HP two-stroke-power-cycle engine is not working. My understanding is the 1996 17 OUTRAGE II is rated for maximum of 150-HP and 433-lbs of engine weight. Modern engines are heavier than the c.1996 Yamaha 130-HP engine, but I...
