cz4,

Congratulations. It looks like you have the oldest factory Montauk left in existence as far as our lists goes.

Many of these older Montauks I'm sure no longer exist or survived through the years remaining a Montauk. Many today might be what Whaler calls a "Custom" model if the original interior is no longer present.

Had your Montauk been newer, I would have added it to that list without any problems. As MB56 mentions above though, sometimes the older models need positive verification from Boston Whaler to be authenticated.
Otherwise we would probably have 50 or 60 1961 and 1963 Montauks on that list which, even though they were never made, because many people think that is what they own.

I have been keeping track of Montauk information for many years.
Ever since I purchased mine back in 1988. Sometimes different info, parts, etc., comes to our attention.
