Author	Topic:   Message to BW27 - molded cover
Wild Turkey	posted 01-16-2001 12:15 PM ET (US)         I was looking at page 33 on Cetacea.... I love the molded rear cover on the Montauk. Where is the world can I get one?
BW27	posted 01-16-2001 09:31 PM ET (US)             Isn't that cool!!! I know of only two of these. I understand that Jacobsens Boats in Seattle made them during the late eighties and sold them with the Montauks. A friend has the other one and promised I could pull a mold off it if I bought another 17. Anybody else want one.......
Wild Turkey	posted 01-17-2001 11:28 AM ET (US)             I would love to have one (regardless of cost). I guess it is near impossible short fabricating one myself.....

stagalv	posted 01-17-2001 12:44 PM ET (US)             I certainly liked it as well. How can we get them? I have been toying with the idea of making an aft thwart seat using teak. I like the molded seat better. Rex
andygere	posted 01-17-2001 05:45 PM ET (US)             I have a teak bench, but I really do like the molded unit. For me, the ultimate would be a molded cover, nicely trimmed out in teak. I wonder if Jacobsons still has the mold......

Einar	posted 01-17-2001 11:41 PM ET (US)             I met Bob Jacobsen at the Seattle Boat Show today. He fabricated the mold and made the bench for the Montauks. They sold them on almost every boat. They have not been a Whaler dealer for many years now. He is going to search for the mold and reply to this page. Einar
hauptjm	posted 01-18-2001 11:49 AM ET (US)          I have a friend that had a '72 16/17ft. that fashioned virtually the same thing out of teak. He used it to house his batteries and fuel tank. Definitly cleans up the interior. I think it's a great option. If I can find some pictures (15-20 years ago), I'll send them on to jimh.
Jacobsenra	posted 01-21-2001 01:10 AM ET (US)             I am Bob Jacobsen we built the molds for the Montauk rear seat/cover shown in the pictures. At he time we were the world's largest Whaler dealer. We originally designed it to cover the oil tank and battery and clean up the rear end of the Montauk. It took very little room in the boat and made a good seat too. Whaler provided us the non-skid moulding so it matched the boat well. I am trying to re-locate the mold and if you are interested in purchasing one e-mail me at jacobsenra@hotmail.com If I can locate the mold (its been a long time!) I will e-mail you directly about it. Glad to see someone cares about the old (REAL!!) Whalers.
Wild Turkey	posted 02-27-2001 11:27 PM ET (US)             I just wanted to bring this thread to the top. Did anyone hear from Bob Jacobsen? Did he find the mold? I emailed him, but no response. I didn't want to miss out if he had found it... Chris
tightloops	posted 03-04-2001 11:17 PM ET (US)             I purchased the 1977 Montauk! I'm going to want one of these...definitely...Has anyone heard from Bob...are these going to be available at all...price?...Sweeeeet!
