PROJECT 50 - DEPOSIT RECEIVED
This is an excellent condition, all-original, freshwater 1989 Boston Whaler Montauk 17 from Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. She was purchased new from an area BW dealer and used on the lake until the second owner purchased her in 2018 and relocated the boat to Iowa where she was used twice on the Mississippi River. She has never seen saltwater or spent a night in the water and has always been stored inside a garage or inside rack stored at a marina.
She is equipped with her original 1989 Suzuki DT100 100hp V-4 two-stroke, oil-injected, electric start/choke outboard with power tilt/trim with < 350 hours. The DT100s are known as very reliable motors and highly desirable for the classic 17’ hull due to their very high power/weight ratio. The Suzuki has been fully serviced (water pump, spark plugs, fuel filters, thermostats, carb sync, gear oil, etc.) and is excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with zero rust/corrosion and still has the glossy original paint. Her gearcase easily passed a pressure test along with a leak down test of all her 4 cylinders. She runs beautifully and needs nothing.
This particular Montauk is a rare find in such original condition. The Montauk 17 model came equipped standard with 10” side railings, full bow railing, reversible pilot seat with bottom cushion, combination bow light/chock assembly and stainless-steel pole stern light. This particular Montauk was optioned through Whaler with mahogany cooler chocks, 72qt Igloo cooler with seat cushion forward of the console, teak fire extinguisher box, two sets of 3-pair rod holders forward of the console with backrest cushions, tan Boston Whaler battery box, Kevlok battery box strap, forward bow cushion and Wm. J Mills flytop, windshield, side curtains and forward shelter (dodger) set (over a $4k+ option). Additional options include Hynautic K6 hydraulic steering ($1k upgrade), separate full width Sunbrella bimini top, removable transom boarding ladder, 24 gallon fuel tank mounted under a raised reversible pilot seat, Garmin CHIRP depth sounder, Icom VHF-FM radio, Ritchie model 15 Explorer compass (red and not pictured), forward pedestal seat mount, bilge pump and full width easily removable stern seat teak platform with matching upholstered cushion. She has a full storage cover as well. The original heavy duty Shoreline trailer was custom built for the boat in 1989 and is in excellent original condition with keel rollers, bunks, new tires/wheels and wheel bearings.
This Montauk is absolutely perfect, turn-key and ready to be enjoyed today.
