170 Montauk 12-Volt Trolling Motor

Planning to install a trolling motor on my 2018 170 Montauk for inshore fishing in south Louisiana. My boat is prewired from the factory for a 12-Volt setup, but I’m a little concerned [a 12-Volt motor] might not provide enough thrust for the boat. I have a 12-Volt Minn-Kota Riptide Terrova motor wi...

Re: Fair Price for 2018 170 Montauk

Biggiefl - The price for the 2019 was a little over $42,000. I don’t remember the exact price after being shocked by the comment that they could not sell it to me. Plus, I expected the price to be closer to $39,000 to $40,000 based off a local dealer’s 2019 17 Dauntless.

Re: Fair Price for 2018 170 Montauk

Jefecinco - your comment regarding territories is interesting, I called an out of state dealer today regarding the 2019 listing below and the sales person asked where I was calling from, then he informed me that I needed to work thru my local dealer to purchase the boat and there would be additional...

Jim - I think the distinction is just the special decal found on the 2018:

Re: Fair Price for 2018 170 Montauk

Thanks for all the feedback so far.

This 170 MONTAUK boat is offered by a private seller. The boat is in excellent condition, and the engine has 50 hours.

The model is the [170] Montauk II 60th anniversary edition—a boat with great looks but very expensive.

Fair Price for 2018 170 Montauk

I’m looking at a used 2018 Montauk 170. I am a little shocked by the $38,000 asking price. I know prices on Boston Whaler boats have been rising, but I didn’t realize the magnitude. The boat is well equipped and the MSRP for an equivalent 2020 model is $44,500. This makes the 2018 only 15% below MSR...
