Montauk™, Outrage™, Dauntless™, Newport™ and Striper™ center console
boats.

Clearance for the
rod holders (4 or 6, depending upon model year) mounted across the front of the Whaler's console,
rod holders (2 each) on the Whaler's Reversible Pilot Seat.

(standard on Montauk™ 17, 170, Outrage® and many other Whalers) when folded down,
Optional Gear-Loft

Patent Pending
The Montauk-T-Topless-2™ (MT2™)
fits the following boats:
The Montauk-T-Topless™ fits the
1973-2000 Boston Whaler® Montauk™ 17 & 2001 Montauk™ 170 perfectly,
provide 6'1" to 6'5" of clearance beneath (adjustable rear leg height),
clearing rods placed in the 6 optional factory rod holders on the front of the console
as well as the 2 rods in the Reversible Pilot Seat (Flip Flop seat).
We also offer
a 3-sided wrap around Spray Shield,
zip on Gull Wings,
a Gear Loft
and a front Gear Rack
for the 1973-2000 Montauk™ 17 and 2001 Montuak™ 170 series.
Boston Whaler® introduced the new generation
2002-2007 Montauk™ 170
and 2001-2007 Dauntless™ 160 boats
with the same low console (p/n 22-J871-00) and grab rails,
so our tops only provide 6'2" of headroom,
and the cooler must be removed to lower the top fully.
In 2008, Boston Whaler® came out with a new 4" taller console,
giving the 2008-2012 Montauk-170
a clearance of
6'3" with the Montauk-T-Topless-2™.
The Montauk 190 and Dauntless 15
use the similar T-Topless.
The other alternatives are a Bimini Top or a Fixed T-Top (mounted to the floor):
Bimini Tops are difficult to fish around and
make entry/exit difficult because they mount on the Montauk at or near the opening
between the front/rear side rails. Boston Whaler® charges
$1,091now $1,200 !
for their original Mills®
"Sun top (bimini) with boot (black or blue) and stainless steel fittings"
Fixed T-Tops must be screwed to the floor with
wood screws on Whalers®. They cannot be through-bolted to the back
of the fiberglass because Whalers® are foam-filled for flotation.
Thus, the wood screws will eventually pull out.
In addition, a fixed T-Top wastes floorspace with the mounts, and will not
fold down to put the boat in a garage or under a standard boat cover

Fits under standard boat cover
The Montauk-T-Topless-2™ (MT2™)
fits under a standard boat cover,
as the top nestles between the bow rails.
Head and fishing rod clearance

shown at right in the raised position on a 1973-2001 Montauk® 17.
Note how the design allows use of the front rod holders (as well as the Rod Holders inthe Reversible Pilot Seat)..
The Montauk-T-Topless-2™ (MT2™)
provides provides significantly more head room than the standard Boston Whaler® original Mills® (pre 1996) or Great Lakes® (1996+, we sell these as well)
bimini top's 5'10" height.
It allows use of the front, console-mounted rod holders,
as well as the 2 rod holders in the Montauk's® Teak Reversible Pilot Seat (RPS, flip back seat).
Lowers about even with windshield grab rail height
Montauk-T-Topless-2™ (MT2™)
shown at right in the lowered position
on a 1973-2001 Montauk® 17.
If your boat fits in the garage or under a boat cover now,
it should fit with the top lowered.
The top folds down and clears the standard 86-quart (pre-1990) and larger 96-quart (1990+) Igloo® coolers
(with the cushion in place),
as well as between the front bow rails allowing the use of a standard boat cover..
Coverage
The Montauk-T-Topless-2™ (MT2™)
provides 19.4 square feet of coverage, yet weighs only 34 pounds.
Installs in About an Hour
The Montauk-T-Topless-2™ (MT2™)
installs on the Montauk™'s (or Dauntless'™;) windshield grab bars
using two pairs of stainless steel split rail clamps
in less than an hour without drilling holes in the floor or
console of your boat and then trying to get wood screws to hold.
We do NOT recommend or warrant hanging from the top (and especially the rear),
but we found in our tests that the 1" OD TIG welded Stainless tubing frame
is strong enough to hang on!

No annoying bimini top frame or straps!
No more ugly, bimini top or straps in your way, or flapping in the breeze.

Montauk-T-Topless-2™ Spray Shield & Gull Wings
Montauk-T-Topless-2™ Spray Shield
Optional Montauk-T-Topless-2™ (MT2™)
Spray Shield and Gull Wings for

and 1981-1989 Outrage™ 18 (may fit Montauk™ 170, Dauntless™ and some other Outrages™)
The Montauk-T-Topless-2™ (MT2™)
3 sided Spray Shield
has 30-gauge clear Vinyl windows (also known as Eisenglass or Isinglass)
framed with Sunbrella® and
attaches to the Montauk-T-Topless-2™ frame tightly
with Valcro® along the front top (rain tight)
and Bunji balls on the sides and back (note the tight fit inside the frame in the photos at right).
The Spray Shield keeps wind, rain and spray out
and has a "smiley" window with plastic zippers
which can be rolled up to let the breeze in and for trailering.
The Spray-Shield is split at the bottom and joined with Velcro™
to go around the Montauk 17's front "Shepherd's Rail",
providing a spray-tight, clear window all the way down
to the bottom of the Montauk's plexiglass windshield.
The Montauk-T-Topless-2™ will also fold down with the Spray Shield in place
(may need to be loosened at bottom).
For additional protection, we also offer
Gull Wings
which zip onto the back edge of each side of the Spray Shield and use bunji balls to the outside side rails
as shown at right.

allows for use of the Montauk's factory rod holders.

was specifically designed
to clear rods placed in the front, factory console mounted rod holders,
as well as clearance for rods in the
Montauk™ 17's teak Reversible Pilot Seat's 2 rod holders!
Standard Boston Whaler® Bimini Top
The Boston Whaler® standard bimini top is low, cumbersome
and in the way for fishing, ingress and egress.
Front Rod Holders Unusable with Bimini Top,
With the bimini top raised, the front rod holders
cannot be used on older or new style Montauks®.
Rigid T-Top Issues ...
Rigid T-Tops have issues of their own, including weight, high center of gravity,
mounting holes in the floor, clearance along the side and cost.

Hull Identification Numbers (HIN) BEFORE Aug 01, 1984 ...
Each of our boat manufacturers' canvas pages
have Photos of the Factory OEM T-Tops, Hard-Top, Bimini-Tops, Canvas, etc. at the
bottom of the page for verification
(Sea Hunt® Photos for example).
Please compare your boat against these photos to insure you have the
Original-Equipment (OEM) Top frame from the Factory
(some dealers, like Chatlee in NC and Ed's Marine Superstoe in VA,
for example,
install their own, after-market T-Tops).
Our Factory OEM canvas
does not fit after-market Tops!
Boston Whaler®, Sea Ray® and Grady White® do NOT allow
dealers to install their own, after-market tops on new boats,
so these are typically Factory OEM,
unless an owner installed their own top.
We sell at a discount (and without 6-12% Sales Tax) versus the local dealers
since we "make-to-order" (Just-In-Time = JIT)
using our inventory of 1,000's of patterns
(no need to carry inventory)
and thus our overhead is lower.
Unfortunately, agreements with boat manufacturers prevent us from selling the current (last 2 model years)
factory-original (OEM) production canvas, frames and covers direct to the public.
Some photos show optional items mounted on standard products.
Descriptive, typographical or photographical errors are subject to correction.
