I'm restoring a c.1965 MONTAUK 17. I am almost ready to apply graphics to the hull.

Q1: what is the proper length for the BOSTON WHAKER graphic on the hull

I want the factory specification.

I have seen graphics being sold on-line that vary in length from 10-inches long to 20-inches long.

ASIDE: this is my first post on this forum.

The Montauk was not introduced until 1973.

If you have a wooden center console, it could be a Nauset, Sakonnet or other 16' model.

There is one source for OEM decals.

Give Janis a call and she'll get you the appropriate decals for your model.

The 16-foot 7-inch hull was referred to as a “16” until c.1976, when it became the “17” hull. The reason for the change was to conform all the odd-number hulls as being a round bottom boat and all the even-numbered hulls to be a moderate v-bottom boat. For more on the numbering scheme see
