Joe/All...in a follow up on my post in the comment section of your console article, I contacted BW. Boy were they responsive! Here is what they had to say about our hull.
So it was in fact shipped as a Montauk.
What happened to the original console?
Who knows...

For those of you that did not catch the beginning of this saga, please see pics on my page and the above mentioned "article".

If anyone has any ideas as to what may have happened to the original console...please chime in!

BW;
"According to Whaler's records, Hull id number BWCC5704M78C was built in our old Rockland, MA factory as a 17' Montauk and was originally shipped out to an Eastern Sales in Conway, SC on 11/18/77 (as a 1978 model).
Attached is a spec sheet from 1978...


I mailed out a 2010 brochure today. Good luck with the restoration.
