Jim, thank you for allowing mw to post the Montauk For Sale. For Sale: Unsinkable 1984 Boston Whaler Montauk 17 with 2002 Mercury 2 stroke 90 hp with less than 60 hours runtime. New floor installed. Internal foam was bone dry with no signs of moisture intrusion. Console has been completely rebuilt ...

I just came off the Elizabeth River with my Montauk. The Mercury 90-HP ran exactly as expected. It started on a dime, accelerated rapidly,and idled smoothly. All three cylinders are performing as they should. At 2,700 RPM boat speed was 19-MPH, and at 3,800-RPM boat speed was 24-MPH.

On October 26, 2020 I will pick up my Montauk from the marine mechanic who fixed the cylinder and carburetor problems that I thought were occuring in cylinder #1. [The mechanic indicated the actual cause of the running problem was the] carburetors were out of synchronization. Carburetor #3 was the m...

Thank you one and all for your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas; all are beneficial. A [cylinder pressure] test showed 140 [PSI]. I did use an in-line Ignition Spark Tester exactly like the one shown. Strong spark was visible in the test. I'm also going to dig in a little deeper and check the reed v...

Thank you Phil and biggiefl. Having already done Phil's suggestion I will redo as it is possible that I overlooked something in the process.
Plug was wet when removed. I will let you know the outcome when completed. wcc

[A] 2002 Mercury 90-HP two-stroke-power-cycle engine I purchased and installed in 2005 on my 1984 Montauk 17 has less than 50 hours runtime. It appears the engine is running only on cylinders 2 and 3. I removed the carburetor for cylinder 1, disassembled it, and cleaned it with carburetor solution. ...

A new floor was installed in my Montauk and I would like to return the console and RPS to their correct location. Does anyone have the correct measurements (inches from transom perhaps), for their proper placement? Thanks in advance for the help.

Excellent point Butch, a skiff it is not. I think I am at the point to abandon completely the bed liner idea. Better I think to grind, repair and gelcoat. NEW TOPIC: The console seems to move ever so slightly. Could be the wood mounting braces are loose I think I will remove the console today and go...

Thanks for your response. And I guess that is what I was looking for, Is there a negative to applying this bed liner material? Your comment and the question leads me to believe that it could take away from its essence and lower the value of my Montauk which is something I certainly would not want to...

Hello everyone. Having become a recent member of Continuouswave I would like to say how much I enjoy this site/forum. It certainly is a place where one can learn a lot and see some very excellent work done on these Boston Whaler boats. I have a 1984 Montauk 17' with a Mercury 90hp 2 stroke which by ...
