Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Genuine or fake? 1984 17 Montauk red dot

Hi all,

I desperately need some help here. (Boat is located in Canada)

I'm going to get this boat on Wednesday, August 9, 2023

But I notice a few things that are making me nervous.

Would you please look at the photos, and let me know if you think it's a genuine BW or a fake?

I want to believe it's a true red dot, but I'm nervous about it, because of the SMIRK / SMIRKLESS shape, the console, and the shape of the cover for the bow storage, also the decal looks a bit too far forward ???

Please help as I only had 2 days now to decide. It's an all-day trip for me going to get the boat too.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I haven't asked for the HID or stencil, but I could do that if you think it's necessary or would prove anything.

(Trying to figure out how to upload photos)

I'll try and give a Google Drive Link instead.
Its not allowing the link to be clickable, so please copy and paste my link to your google top bar.
