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?

Re: 170 MONTAUK 50-HP
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.
