I am not sure I agree with the methodology here in determining a boats model. I thought we could have a debate and decide when a boat changes models, if ever. Some people here believe that changing the seat on a Montauk, changes that boat from a Montauk to a Custom. I don't agree with that. If I change the seats in a late model Ford Mustang, does it become a Ford Custom? What if I add a poling platform, forward chair and additional rod holders to a Montauk, does it also become a Custom? In my opinion, the boat model and year should stay the same as when originally manufactured, regardless of what owners do to modify them.
