Peanut-butter and Peaches--is that a rail mounted table? I was looking at minitauk85's post of the 1969 Boston Whaler Catalog:

On the left hand side there is a guy making a peanut butter sandwich. Over his shoulder is a table with some peaches on it. Wow. What is that table? Is it a rail mounted factory made table option? I want one. Anyone know anything about it? Was it an accessory option from Boston Whaler? It is not listed at the end of the catalog were other options are.
Are there any other photos or anything else that might show more details so I could try to make one? Looks so cool, useful, removable, and original. I see that it has multiple cut outs both on top and on the bottom support to allow it to be mounted in other configurations. Maybe for stowing or to be mounted to the inside?
If anyone has any information about it please share. I want to make one. Thanks
Jake

I believe that is the reversible pilots seat. It's pushed forward towards the bow.

No not the RPS, look behind him, on the rail. Most sternward is the top of a rod holder. Forward of it on the rail is a table or cutting board. It has peaches on it.

Yes--that is what it appears to be. Again another clever idea from the company back in the day. The 17 Montauk was like the-everything-boat back then. For example, the picture with the surfboard strapped to the side. $2200--wow, that is a story in itself.

How about Peaches and Herb? Any sightings lately?

Never seen/heard of the cutting board/table. Looks like the rod rack option is just aft of the custom cutting table with the white top. -- I also like the interior, gunnel to gunnel, cutting board (actual surface with PB & J sandwiches).

No, the peanut butter sandwich is being made on the back of the RPS seat.
I had often thought that a rail to rail plank however would be nice easy picnic table for people sitting on back of the PPS and stern seat.
But then I saw this original prep table. A couple of these would be perfect especial if they could also be mounted inboard. It does look to have optional setup slots so this might have been an possibility.
This rail mounted prep table in the picture, so reminds me of the TV diner tables of the era.
I want to sit watch a sunset, eat make a Manhattan off this table while listen to Peaches and Herb. All period correct in my book.

If it was rail mounted with a swivel so it could be pulled in front of the people sitting on the stern seat that would be awesome. I don't see it in any options list I can find, one of maybe? Should be easy to build

Yum PB and J sandwiches brings back a lot of memories. My son would be quite happy living off PB & J if he could.

Apparently the crew in Rockland Mass never put the rail mounted table into production... I would love to make that table but would need another view of it before putting blade to wood...
That little beauty would look so perfect on my 1967 Nauset... Has anyone come across other photos of it? If so, please steer me in the right direction...
Thanks
Norm
