Just purchased a 2018 Montauk 170 at a boat show. The dealer advised the 90 HP for normal use, the 115 HP for heavy loads and pulling skiers. Since I will be mostly fishing with my wife, I went with the 90 HP. But the choice can be changed since the boat is on order.
Give me youropinions about my choice of the 90-HP engine.
The $1000 difference is not a big factor. Nor is thehe fuel use is a factor given the new larger fuel tank. I need trolling efficiency rather than raw power.
This 2018 170 MONTAUK boat is a big upgrade for me coming from a 30 year old 14-foot Livingston that was called the "poor man's Boston Whaler" back when I bought it new with a 25 HP Johnson.
