1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

Montauk Wind Screen

I have a good plastics guy in the area who can fabricate one for me, but I would prefer to buy one ready made or, short of that, have a pattern from which to work. Any suggestions? Thanks

Years ago there was a special production run orchestrated by Tom Clark with the original manufacturer. It was a big ordeal to do. If you have a windshield, I would bring it to your local guy and have him make up one for ya. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

There are different windshields for different years of Montauks. You need to be much more specific when ordering or asking for a Montauk windscreen. This is just a heads up so you don't end up with a windscreen that will NOT fit your boat.

Is there anything more specific that I need to know, assuming that the console is original? I am looking at a used boat without a wind screen and am trying to figure out what it will cost to supply a replacement.

The different standard consoles are shown in an article in the article section. 1973 to 1976 1977 to 1990/1991 Just want to make sure you get the correct windscreen for you Whaler.
