It needs some more duct tape and baleing wire to hold a few of the parts together.

My next door neighbor got rid of his about four years ago, and still misses her. He has a 25ft Parker now.

They are great boats. Its as solid as the day it was built. Just dosen't look as pretty. A real rough rider (hence the name "Ball Buster) and wet. But is does become a love affair.

She may be a ball buster, but boy she still has pretty lines!! I do prefer the classic lines over the modern "swoop" look!!

Joe, not much in the way of free board. Hits me about mid shin. Haven't lost anyone yet but you have to be aware of the risk. It a 1971 21' Outrage. The first year Whaler built that model.
