1978 Boston Whaler 17 Montauk

This 1978 Boston Whaler 17 Montauk is powered by a 2018 Mercury 115hp four-stroke engine with 113 hours of use. The boat has been extensively rebuilt with modern systems and components throughout. A custom center console, leaning post with tackle storage and rod holders, and back bench accommodate the fishing layout. The 32-gallon fuel tank includes a water separator, and a bait well with dedicated switch supports active fishing.

Navigation and control systems include a 9-inch Garmin chartplotter, hydraulic tilt steering, and a Vessel View computer system. The switch panel features a USB port and Perko switch. An audio setup with Bluetooth connectivity and amplifier provides entertainment, while a Bimini top offers shade. A Minn Kota Spot Lock trolling motor with 54-inch shaft and a 12-lithium battery with charger round out the propulsion options for slow-water work.

Recent upgrades include new rigging throughout, a new front hatch, a new bilge pump, and marine-grade matt flooring installed in 2026. A jack plate aids launch and retrieval. The boat comes with a Dilly trailer that has been fully rebuilt with a new axle, suspension, and tires by McClain Trailers.
