CONTINUOUSWAVE

Some great comments in this thread. Here is my take. Both the Outrage and the Montauk are great boats. I have had Boston Whaler boats for a very long time, but not very many of them. I started with a SPORT 13 in 1982, then changed to a Montauk 17 in 1994, which I still have. I often had our small ki...

Excellent points Jim. Quality of ride is very subjective. Love your evaluation. I thought I would just share a couple of thoughts. This does make me think of one way to compare the ride of the different generations of the Montauk 17. I am an owner of a 1994 Montauk 17, with a Johnson 90, the generat...

Seems like besides the huge cost of $78,000, in light of other disadvantages of this electric product, you might want to have a gasoline auxiliary engine to get you home for when you run out of battery power. Then I guess [the boat propulsion] becomes a hybrid. I went boating a couple of days ago wi...

Thanks for this excellent information. I haven't used my Montauk 17 here in Miami for awhile, but plan to go out in the next few weeks. The weather is windy this weekend, as it was last weekend, so I am waiting for a calmer time. Anything can happen when boating. Especially in the the environment he...

The problem that they will have is two-fold. 1. That they abandoned both their customers and their dealers by stopping production of the E-Tec line. 2. Whatever the new technology/design is, who wants to buy a new product with no reliability history? I for one do not want to be a beta tester, especi...

All I can say is WOW.

All the pleasure of owning a Whaler in one set of amazing photos. Thanks so much for posting.

My original Whaler was a 1982 Sport 13 with a Johnson 35-HP engine--a great little boat, easy to handle, easy to trailer, and great for kids. I paid $4,000 new with the whole package. I used it for 12 years and sold it for $3,500, when I upgraded to a new 17 Montauk, which I still have. I even went ...

Terrific report on the storm. Glad to see things are improving. Especially how people are helping each other. We live in South Florida and have had our share of them. We always say that the worst part of the storm is the aftermath. When we went through Andrew, years ago,we survived ok with little da...

I have a 1994 Montauk 17 with a Johnson 90. Here are my thoughts on the basics of boating. Check the trailer thoroughly, with special attention to the wheels, tires and hubs. Also the bunkers, rollers and lights. Review all of the procedures regarding the running of the engine and accessories. Start...

I have a 17 classic Montauk with the bench seat, cooler seat and forward bow cushion, plus, of course the RPS seat. I have had 7 people in it at times, and it worked fine. They all had comfortable seats. I always made sure to spread them around for balance. For your purpose, however, I would limit i...

I also live in South Florida. I would go for the new [2019] 170 Montauk in a heartbeat. [The 2019 170 MONTAUK] is far more boat than the previous models, yet is nearly the same size. To me the [2019 170 MONTAUK] looks like the best small boat in the industry. The new [2019 170 MONTAUK] is better bec...
