Thanks Joe. That's what I thought. The boat was advertised as a Montauk. The console was gone when I bought it and since I had a friend look at it and send me pictures I assumed it was but after doing my research on this site, and studying the pictures a little more closely as well as the link you attached which I had already discovered I surmised that in fact it was a Sport 17. After reading some more of your comments on the threads that the main differences in the models were the interiors and that the hulls were the same it seemed to make sense that since I was basically going to be dealing with a blank canvas, I could "make" this a Montauk rather than a Sport as there is no console now and the bench seat needed to be replaced anyway. There are a number of manufacturers of consoles out there. Are there any benefits that I should be aware of by ordering a console directly from BW?
