I think some people are kind of rigid on this subject due to the fact that so many people use the site for a resource. As new whaler owners look for every ounce of information they can get on their new boats. I do tend to agree that a simple rps to leaning post conversion would not change the Montauk designation in my mind. I will say for the sake of argument that the designation did have more to do with the interior components than the hull, so changing components would in effect change the designation. I have a miss matched 1979 15 footer with a much newer super sport interior, Is it a super sport as they were not made in 1979? I have a low pro conversion that would be considered by some a bastard whaler with all the changes. I am pretty proud of both.
