Purchased a 1975 Montauk
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2022 8:39 pm
I just purchased a [1975 MONTAUK 17--when you mention the boat give the year, the model designator, and the length]. The boat is in great shape, but it may have been sitting for a couple years.
The boat engines are a Yamaha four-stroke-power-cycle engines [of unspecified horsepower and model--always give the engine horsepower and full model name, such as Yamaha a 2022 F90] which have just been serviced--I am good to go with the engines.
I plan to accomplish the following tasks and need advice on all of these topics
In the future I will post a picture of the boat.

The boat engines are a Yamaha four-stroke-power-cycle engines [of unspecified horsepower and model--always give the engine horsepower and full model name, such as Yamaha a 2022 F90] which have just been serviced--I am good to go with the engines.
I plan to accomplish the following tasks and need advice on all of these topics
- wash the boat
- wax the boat
- remove marks
- fill screw holes and nicks with epoxy and gel coat to match the hull color
- remount the fuel tank or get a new fuel tank
- refinish the teak wood components
- replace the rub rail
- fabricate a new bow locker cover
- refurbish the trailer for use in saltwater
- get new electronics
- update the navigation lamps with LED bulbs
- rig the boat for angling for salmon
- buy a new cooler
- get weather canvas
In the future I will post a picture of the boat.
