The new 420 Anniversary Edition is the culmination of five decades of Outrage innovation: 1971 - 2021.
1971
Boston Whaler introduces the first-ever Outrage, a 21’4” model designed to satisfy “the frequently expressed wish of fans and sport fishing enthusiasts for a bigger, roomier ‘Whaler Quality’ boat” with the safety and stability for fishing, diving, skiing and cruising.
1971
The first Outrage off the production line, Hull #001, is sold to the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, following the lab’s correspondence with Whaler Founder Dick Fisher. The boat remains in active use for the next 50+ years.
1973
The Outrage 19 joins the lineup, with a trailerable 19’4” length and an array of features for fresh- or saltwater fishing and watersports. Popular options include a 155-quart insulated cooler seat and a reversible pilot seat ideal for trolling or observing skiers.
1980s
New Outrages including the Outrage 22, Outrage 25 and Outrage Cuddy are introduced. Each center console model delivers loads of fish-fighting room, confident offshore performance and a smooth-riding deep-V hull.
1996
Boston Whaler is acquired by parent company Brunswick Corporation for $26.6 million. Over the ensuing decades, the company’s backing will help fuel growth and make new innovations possible — including bigger and bolder Outrages.
2010
The new 370 Outrage, Whaler’s largest model to date, is selected as an NMMA Innovation Award winner in the Cruisers category and named 2010 European Powerboat of the Year.
2011
Whaler puts its legendary unsinkability to the test once more, filling a 370 Outrage beyond capacity with life-jacketed employees. As photo evidence proves, even when swamped, the boat won’t sink.
2014
Boston Whaler unveils the flagship 420 Outrage, a highly capable offshore performer and a brilliant entertaining platform featuring innovations including Mercury® Joystick Piloting and Dynamic Running Surface hull technology.
2015
Shortly after its debut, the 420 Outrage is named Boating magazine’s 2015 Boat of the Year. According to the magazine’s editors, “The 420 Outrage led the field with respect to delivering a boat that could be fished, cruised and day-boated with equal aplomb.”
2021
Commemorating the Outrage’s proud 50-year history, Whaler launches the new 420 Outrage Anniversary Edition. The stunning offshore cruiser features updated styling, cutting-edge technology and breathtaking performance, courtesy of triple 600-hp V12 Mercury Verado engines.
