I found a pic of this 17. Note the steering and throtle/shifter cables running through the center of the boat. Was this converted from a montauk?

Is this normal for a 17 sport?
I had a 17 SS ltd back in 1987 and the cables ran along the gunwhale.

Also, would this set up have enough room for 3 sitting abreast?
I like the center steering cuz the kids have rails to hold onto, i always have the wheel. What's the beam?

Yes this is normal. The Super Sport 17 was rigged this way.

The beam is the same as all other 16'-7" Whalers, 6'-2"
