1995 Boston Whaler Montauk 17
2005 Evinrude E-Tec 75HP ~250 hours salt water
1997 Load Rite trailer

Located on Long Island. Thinking about passing it on next season. Serviced and flushed regularly (most recently spark plugs, VST, fuel filter and water separator, shift linkages, water pump). I’ve done a lot of my own work like adding Bluetooth radio with 4 speakers, blue LED courtesy lights, depth finder, and 22 gal Moeller fuel tank. I also repainted the entire engine after the shop cracked the original cowling (last pic). I plan on doing fresh bottom paint at the end of the season. Besides that the gel coat and upholstery is visibly aging.

What can I get for this to the right buyer?

Seen in Osterville, MA.

Hey folks, my bilge pump died after a rain two nights ago. There was about 4 inches of light green, organic, water in the stern before I pumped it out and replaced the bilge pump. Now there is a persistent green stain that I have scrubbed like mad with soap, brush, and sponge but I can’t get rid of it. I am hesitant to use bleach in this marine environment, but curious about reactions to these pics, thanks!

Possibly buying from someone, it’s real clean, compression is good, no soft spots, etc

I have a 1963 16.7 and I just can't figure out what the most simple mounting solution would be. I wanted a traditional bow mount, but with no real place to clamp/mount it, I've only seen people make their own mounts by glassing new areas. As for transom mounted ones, I keep reading about how it's far less efficient than bow mounted

69 FJ40 and 1971 Outrage

I’m looking into getting this boat it’s being offered by my friends dad for a solid deal. I already have a 13’ whaler that I love. He’s a little slow to respond on details. What year and model do you think it is? Hoping I can see it this weekend. My best guess is it’s a 1990-95 17’ Mostly just gonna check for soft spots and compression.
