Davenport 17 ā Inspired by the classic Montauk style (iconic open, aggressive lines from the 1970sā80s, evoking pure, sexy, timeless aesthetics). It offers a simple yet classic layout with subtle teak accents, forward teak anchor locker, and options for versatile configurations. It's positioned as an elegant, modern classic ideal for those seeking that vintage Montauk vibe with updated performance. They feature vacuum-infused vinyl ester (VE) resin hulls with composite stringer systems, cores (e.g., Penske board transoms and reinforced lifting eyes), and Ashland Maxguard gelcoat finishes (with up to 85 custom colors available). Decks are self-bailing with classic non-skid patterns, classic rubrails (often Balbour 3-piece with chrome/bronze accents), stainless steel hardware, USCG-certified systems (e.g., bilge pumps, fuel tanks), ABYC-compliant wiring, and options for teak or vinyl teak decking. Interiors emphasize hand-finished mahogany (or sapele mahogany) brightwork coated in Metan's Awlgrip process for beauty and protection, classic chrome/bronze fittings, and customizable elements like consoles, seating, bimini tops, and electronics.
All 17' models are highly customizable (colors, interiors, wood choices like mahogany or teak, electronics, canvas, trailers, etc.), made in the USA, and built for reliability with features like reinforced eyes for davit lifting, enclosed wiring, and high-end components. They are often marketed as superior to vintage originals due to advanced resin infusion (for lighter, stronger hulls without wood rot issues) while capturing the charm of classic boats.
