Sitting there with the wife last evening
I was distractingly looking at the latest episode of "The Dome"
My attention was suddenly focused on a water scene involving a very sweet Classic Whaler.
The brand names of the outboard and hull were blanked by stick ons
The style of the craft spoke for itself.
I thought that I recognized a 1978 Montauk driven by one of the main character's of the serie named Big Jim. http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/0...-tv-recap/
I must admit that the sight of the Classic was like a breath of fresh air..
Wonder if the 1978 year was precisely the right one for the model?

Dont lie
Dont Cheat
And dont give up..
Those motor controls are mounted on a 1983 and later console.
Impossible to tell the year of the boat from that shot.
However, there are also several other things that point to this as being a much newer model.
I will let other members here explain the details should they notice them.
