When a Whaler has missing interior components or aftermarket seating/console, we call it a "Custom"

That is a 16' Custom.

For it to be a Montauk, it would need to have a fiberglass console and a reversable pilot seat made with a teak seatback and Z legs.

There was a single year on the 16' non-smerked hull, called a Montauk 16. After that it was on the 17' hull (smirked) and called a Montauk 17.

Either your buyer is trying to attract buyers to a not very popular model OR he does not know much about Boston Whalers.

The red dot hull, or workboat layup, in my mind, is not worth much more than a typical Whaler layup. If it was a Guardian with the different console and rails, thats a different situation entirely.
