Boston Whaler Montauk

Offering this really nice 1977 Boston Whaler 17' (16' 7") Montauk with 1994 Yamaha 85hp outboard (model C85TLRS) and 2012 LoadRite single axle trailer. This boat is a real gem, super clean, ready for the water. A little history, this boat was delivered from the original Rockland, Mass. facility to Wolf River Marine in Fremont, Wisconsin on July 17, 1977. It ultimately made its way to Long Island, where it was owned by a well known local restaurant/business owner on the North Fork. Over the years, I did occasional maintenance on this boat, and enjoyed many fishing trips with the owner. Early this year, the owner decided to part ways with the boat, and I bought it! In between having a LOT of fun on the water, some upgrades and refurbs were done. It has a new Marine radio, Marine stereo system, Temp gauge and Tach. Wood was recently refinished, the bottom was painted, the top surfaces of the hull/gunwhales were refinished for cosmetic purposes (it looks GREAT!), a lot of SS hardware replaced. The bimini top is in great shape. This has an upsized aluminum fuel tank (not sure of the capacity), so you can be on the water all day without fear of running out of fuel! The motor runs flawlessly! This is an ultra clean boat, a real workhorse. Now, in the spirit of full disclosure, over the years the wiring to the bow and stern lights were cut short, and external wiring was run (see pictures). Also, the rub rail does have a few damaged spots as shown. The boat is located in Riverhead, NY (Eastern Long Island) and can be seen by appointment. Oh, the original HIN stencil is on the transom, it is 3B2726.The successful bidder will need to make all pick-up or delivery arrangements.
