Montauk 17 Bow Rail

Want to add a bow rail and saw that the new 2018 models come with a split one. Does anybody know whether the hull/bow shape had changed since then. I would like to order a split rail system and install it on the old hull. Possible? Are there other aftermarket options? We are located in the pacific northwest.

The rail layout is not remotely similar to a Montauk 17. I suggest you contacting a rail fabricator. They can produce a bow rail to suit your needs and visual esthetic. To locate a fabricator, one could start by contacting your local whaler dealer for a recommendation. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
