It looks like the OEM light I purchased from a reputable source on Continuouswave. I've installed it on my Katama, looks, fits, and works great. It is not the same as the ones from earlier days though, I think those had a chrome vertical bridge between the red and green lenses.

Last time he had a run of these on e-bay when I asked, he said they were Whaler 2nds..but real deal...not sure if that applies to these also.

There were several versions of these lights.
This is the different style without the vertical piece between the lenses...
Most of the Classics had the earlier style however as I believe these were later...

This light is the current version introduced in 2002 or 2003 for the new 170 Montauk.
There have been several variations of the classic bow light and chock over the years. They are not all the same. Be careful when shopping for a set.
There are also reproductions on the market, especially the stainless steel ones sold on Ebay that do not fit very well on the classic hulls.

My 86 Montauk has the same style light on it. It is very worn and appears original. I have owned the boat for over ten years. I just purchased this on EBAY, in comparing it to my original which was broken this summer, it is very close to being identical.

I have a '69 13 with the original bow light / twin bollard set-up. Light housing has the center mullian (sp). My understanding is that the lens is not available anywhere. Tried several from Perco etc with no luck.
I have seen post about squirreled away supplies but un aware if a source
Anyone know who to talk to??
