Many people think that every Boston Whaler is a Montauk. Other people like to play stupid and try and advertise their boat as a Montauk even though it is NOT.... Although the boat in the photo above is a Boston Whaler 17' model, it is not a Montauk. I do however like the aftermarket console and aftermarket seat that someone installed.

Site Owner Personal Page Personal Album Photo Albums Project Albums Posts: 11447 Comments: 452 Joined: 03/18/05	It is not a model of anything.... It is a 17' hull Whaler with an aftermarket interior. If it sounds like a duck, and looks like a duck, it must be a Montauk..... Many people take a bare 17' hull and put what they want in it. All the boat will ever be is a 17' bare hull with an aftermarket interior. That isn't a bad thing when done right but it will never be a Montauk unless the correct original parts are used. Here is the original console(s) that a Montauk should have: http://www.whalercentral.com/readarti...icle_id=58 And here is the original RPS (or leaning post) a Montauk should have: http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...lbum_id=13 Factory original Leaning Post (later version as there was an earlier version) http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...hoto_id=73 And here are photos of what a Montauk should look like: http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=14 If the model doesn't look like the above Montauks, then it must be a duck.

Hope to have it in the driveway Monday morning..........Once again, great website and tech help Thought I had narrowed my search to a Montauk, but this one is to nice and rare to pass up Will be taking on sea trial tomorrow
