BW uses the same hulls for several different models of Whalers. The 17' Montauk uses the same hull as the Newport, Eastport etc and the only distinction is the different interior layouts. If you were to change out the RPS to pedistal seating in a Montauk, it would essentially change the configuration whereas it's no longer a complete Montauk which makes it a custom.

If you were to strip down an '85 mustang LX and change the distinct items that make it a LX, is it still a LX?? Technically yes however it's been customized so though the badging says LX, it's really not an LX any longer.

Same goes for the various models of BWs.
