Is that a 90 on the back...or bigger?
What a sweet lookin' rig!
I like that step on the trailer...gettin' over the rail has always been a Bbuster!

Thanks danedg...yes, its the original 90 (inline 6) Mercury. Still kicking after 27-plus years! The trailer is a Shor'landr...1979 as well.

Nice Montauk, Demp - funny how the angle of the photo makes it look like a 15'

Nice set up! I have a 1978 Montauk that looks just like yours. Good choice!

My first whaler. My boat registration says I have a 1970 Montauk but the whaler specks show they started in 1973 ?

Beautiful Montauk!
I am currently negotiating to purchase a 79/80 Montauk. The condition is nothing asspectacular as "Surf Rider". The seller has the original engine wich is just like yours accept it is a 75 hp.
The rails were one removed and replaced, the holes were filled by you can still see where the old rail sysytem was attached. The boat has potential. The owner is asking 6k.
There is some feathering in areas of the gelcoat and it is a liitle dusty form the weather. Trailer is a little rusty.
If you were to sell your baby... how much would you ask?
For what i have described, is 6k too much?
I am a lover of whalers and have never owned a whaler. The new whalers are $28,000. for a 17' ; out of my league right now.
Does anyone have advice that will please my wife...oh sorry, i meant me.
Thanks Guys... Just joine this sight today and i love it.

I'm in the process of restoring my 1979 Montauk. Am wanting to stain the teak with whatever the original shade was for this model. Anybody know what was used? Mine has a late model 100 hp 4-stroke Yamaha on it. A local dealer told me he sold this year model boat only but in good shape for $7900 a few years ago.

Marker58. Absolutely NO stain was used on any teak pieces. Sand the teak and then use Teak Oil...

Don't use stain where you have to walk (forward hatch). I stained everything else (using a cleaner first) and the color is beautiful. The cell structure of teak is hollow, which makes suction when wet, hence the use on boat decks. Use shampoo and cleaner for teak where you walk.
