Thanks for the clarification that the $44,000 boat offered for sale at a an unidentified dealer known to be located in Annapolis, Maryland is a newly built 170 MONTAUK with a different "deck" gel coat, some added wooden trim, and a 115-HP engine. Of course, having a good picture of the boat would be a much better way to appreciate the appearance of this boat.
I am still completely confused about the reference to Jerry Seinfeld, his television show, and a Boston Whaler boat seen in the show. Above in several comments the boat is described as a 13-footer, a 15-footer, and a 17-footer. I cannot imagine there could be so much confusion about what boat is seen in the program. Five years ago (2014) when the episode was first discussed the boat was mentioned as a 13-footer. In 2018 a discussion was proposed on the topic of Jerry Seinfeld's Boston Whaler boat, which elicited pointers to many prior discussions on the topic:

Jerry Sienfeld's Whalerhttp://continuouswave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3077&p=17604The reference to Seinfeld as owning one of the new 170 MONTAUK custom-ordered with blue interior is interesting. I doubt the $44,000 price would be an impediment for him. However, a price of $44,000 for a new 170 MONTAUK is not particularly out of the ordinary. In a discussion earlier this year on the topic of retail prices for 2019 170 MONTAUK boats, there were at least two citations of boat show "deals" on those boats in the range of $42,000 to $43,000, and with the standard 90-HP engines. That a custom-ordered boat with a custom gel coat color and other details like varnished teak and the upgrade to the optional 115-HP engine (see below) is available at $44,000 does not seem to be a particularly steep or premium price to pay for a new 170 MONTAUK these days.

The option is usually for the hull to be the non-white color, not the deck. For the deck to be a different color than the standard "White" does suggest a special order. Since the deck and hull are laid up as two separate components, there should not be much trouble to get the deck component sprayed with a different gel coat color. Here I assume that the deck and the cockpit are the same color. That leads to another question:
Q4: what color is the console, the seat base, and the special fish well?
If we just had a picture of the boat that is the topic of this discussion, we'd know a lot more about it.
Boston Whaler offers the 115-HP as an option. It is only a $1,121 up-charge, and it seems like it would be a popular option for that price.
A MONTAUK 170 base price includes a trailer. There is an option to DELETE the trailer, which reduces the price by $1,087, or an option to add brakes and radial tires to the trailer, only a $260 up-charge. That the $44,000 boat includes a trailer is probably not a significant influence on the price compared to the base boat price.
On the notion of exclusivity of this configuration to three boats having been built, I suspect that Boston Whaler would be able to build more boats like these if a dealer ordered them, although perhaps there might be a minimum quantity necessary to warrant the special gel coat color for the "deck."
