Author	Topic:   Weight of 1995 Montauk
Tygh1	posted 08-05-2005 10:21 AM ET (US)         What is the dry weight of the 95 17' Montauk? I have seen several different weights and need to know the weight so I can estimate towing capacity for my vehicle.

That means smaller/midsize SUV (Not the miniatures) a full-size sedan with the above capacities. You're going to be towing at less than #2,500, however the #1,000 cushion is nice, because it allows you to fill the vehicle up with people and gear too.
