Saw an ad for a 1993 Montauk that appeared in good condition. Received lots of photos and with cash in hand, ran 5 hours away to go pick the thing up. Started reviewing when the transom started showing concern. The seller had placed a 4-stroke 100hp on the back about 10 years ago. Along the back upper edge of the transom, it appeared that the back of the transom was pulling away from the boat. It was hard for me to tell. There was a green edge showing through that was between 1/4 an 1/2 an inch wide. There were also two cracks, each about 5-6 inches long, where the fuel and hydraulics exit the rear of the hull which extended towards the RPS. Seller even hinted that the motor may be too much for the boat which shocked me. Engine had a Whale-Fin hydrofoil on the back which was another bad sign. Disappointed, I turned down the sale and headed the long drive home.
