Regarding the Montauks (and all 16-7" hulls), in 1983 the boat hulls became all Desert Tan. For Montauks 1973 - 1982, the original exterior color code used, called Outrage Gray, has been lost by Boston Whaler, and Whaler has given incorrect color information to both Spectrum and Mini-Craft. I have tried the Outrage Gray of both manufacturers and found them as Garris describes, totally incorrect. For anybody with any of these boats, the exterior color has to be custom blended, beginning with the bad match Outrage Gray and adding Desert Tan for the correct blend. This exterior hull color was also used on the 19 and 21 Outrage and Revenge boats of 1973-1979. Nor is there a correct color code match available for the 1971-1972 Ribside Outrage models, which are the same color inside and out.

I have no informtation on the 1973 and later 13's and 15's.
