1974 MONTAUK: Brown Stains Seeping Out of Deck

1974 MONTAUK 17 Re-power Suzuki DF90

I plan to buy a new SUZUKI DF90 engine for my 1974 MONTAUK 17 to replace a Johnson 70-HP engine. The DF90 weighs about 100-lbs more than the Johnson 70-HP. Q1: Are there concerns about the weight of a DF90 on a MONTAUK 17? Q2: Did Boston Whaler state a maximum engine weight for a 1974 MONTAUK 17 boat?

Re: 1974 MONTAUK 16

Thanks. I think my plan will be to first refurbish the center console and seat with products by TotalBoat, using the Blu-Glo White color, and see how these two sections turn out. If I'm happy then I can move on to the remainder of the boat.

1974 MONTAUK 16

I recently purchased this 1974 Montauk 16 with a 1989 Johnson 70-HP outboard engine. 1FF7AB5C-554E-4D5F-A32D-8D9F60422C96.jpeg I am new to the Boston Whaler scene. The fiberglass has some wear and tear and there is some crazing around the edges but there is no significant damage. The hull bottom wil...
