We have owned an 1987 Outrage 22 since new, and I am familiar with Boston Whaler boats.
I questions on Bimini choices and what propeller to sue for this Montauk.
The boat likely won’t be loved by the purists, but I truly like the look. The boat has grown on me, and the boat really looks clean in person. The hull was redone with Awlcraft [from AWLGRIP], and the color scheme is basically a blend of the classic blue and white. The restoration has honestly all been redone, from drain tubes to teak, the boat was fully restored but never re-powered.
The engine will be a Honda BF90 that has been ordered and arrives “soon”. The new power had to be a Honda so I got a 90-HP as the 75, 90, 100-HP engines all weigh the same, but the 100-HP engine needs premium fuel. The BF90 weighs about 359-lbs--so it's not light--but I hope that the battery installed in the console (rigged that way when I bought it) will offset the engine weight.
Q1: What propeller should be used for this MONTAUK 17 with Honda 90-HP engine.
A knowledgeable guy said get a SOLAS 17 stainless steel propeller. I could only find aluminum SOLAR 17 propellers.
I assume the Honda engine should be mounted as many as high possible. I do know know the number of mounting holes on a HONDA engine mounting bracket.
Additionally, I really think it will need a Bimini. I don’t love the ones that lie flat in the bow.
Q2: what Bimini tops can be stowed in the op position and look more like arches?
