My thoughts on sharing my experience of purchasing the 1986 Montauk is that for whatever reason ( perhaps NAFTA) my experience was very simple, other than the 700 miles round trip- left 4am and returned home at 5pm. However, I searched a number of advertisements for a classic Montauk, and this particular boat appeared to be in the best condition. When entering Canada I had to declare that I had a bank check for the agreed upon sale price. In the event the Montauk was not as advertised, I would return and redeposit the check in my bank account. It is important to note that the US dollar is very strong in Canada right now- roughly 76 cents (US) equals $1 Canadian, so many of you may wish to consider Canada when searching for a boat.
