1996 1996 21 Outrage

Step aboard this 21 Outrage and you can feel its past life as a workhorse under law-enforcement standards. The wide, uncluttered cockpit makes it easy to work lines, fish a crew of friends, or gear up for diving without tripping over hardware. High interior freeboard and thick, molded rails give a secure, “inside the boat” feeling even when the seas stand up. The helm layout leaves plenty of room to add your own electronics or custom storage, and the classic reversible pilot seat is ideal whether you’re running on the tabs or drifting a rip. Boston Whaler’s unsinkable foam core construction keeps things solid underfoot, with that reassuring, quiet thud when you land off a wave.

For local waters where weather can flip from calm to confused chop in a single tide change, the 21 Outrage hits a sweet spot. It’s compact enough to trailer easily to different ramps and shallow launches, yet has the offshore hull and weight to run confidently across exposed stretches or inlet mouths. The open, self-bailing deck is perfect for mixed-duty use—morning fishing, afternoon family cruising, or heading out to barrier islands. Its sturdy construction and simple, practical layout handle sand, sun, and frequent use without fuss, making it a smart choice for boaters who want a tough, do-it-all center console that feels at home in this region’s varied conditions.
