My father's owned many boston whaler's and his favorite was a early 80s montauk. We found a 87 that had been sitting in someones barn its whole life with no motor for dirt cheap. Bought it and in 2004 we completely restored it and put a brand new 90hp yamaha 2stoke on it with hydraulic steering . From 2004 to today every year I spend about a month on this boat to make it look "show room" condition. I buff and wax every square inch of this boat and remove all of the teak to clean and oil it. I use this boat a lot in the summers and am not afraid to get it dirty. By fall the boat looks horribly only to be totally redone in the spring. Im only 19 and the boat is one of my pride and joys along with a completely restored 76 scout traveler
