Montauk?

Can you tell me what it is?

See this photo from the Whaler Model Specs gallery?

I am working on puting the RPS together, though I fear getting the legs will be really tough. I found a guy that will sell me a truck load of teak, salvaged from a 40 ft boat, for a 100 dollars.

A Montauk would have a center console, RPS and bow and stern rails. The good news is, it is possible to change it into a Montauk. Don't fret, it is still a Whaler. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

After looking at the page for the 1973 Montauk, the hull does look exactly like his, however the HIN is not molded into the hull, not at least that I have found. I did see a lot of repairs to what look like holes along the inner sides of the hull. I suspect it use to have rails along there, though I didn't notice them on the bow.

Two years ago someone gave me ten 1 x 10 teak boards. They were each about eight feet long and had lots of old failed varnish. After checking for fasteners, I squared the edges on my cabinet saw and ran the boards through a surface planer. I ended up with about 60 board feet of beautiful lumber that I am still using in various projects. It's hard to find the wider boards today. When you do find them nice old growth teak can sell for upwards of $40 a board foot. I was happy to help clean out this person's barn in exchange for at least $2,000 in lumber. By the way, they refused to take any money for the stuff!
