I have a 2006 170 MONTAUK that needs a new engine. With covid 19 shutting down new engine manufacturing, new engine choices are just not that easy to find.

Question: would a new 50-HP engine be acceptable to power a 170 MONTAUK used just for fishing?

Got my question answered just by diving deeper into older posts on this forum. Seems to be general agreement that the Montack 170 comes with a 90 hp for a good reason, anything less makes it less.

I’ll be looking for a new 90 hp.

Your c.2006 boat probably had a Mercury engine. Mercury has developed a new series of FOURSTROKE model since then. These new models may be a good choice to replace the original engine.
