With 10 years (March-November) of experience in Casco Bay, I would prefer a Montauk 170 over a classic 16'7 or smirked hull.

I moved from a classic Montauk to an Outrage 17 I because I got tired of getting slammed around day after day. The 1985-1989 Outrage 20 is the ideal boat (LOA, weight, power, size, towing etc) in my opinion.

I learned the weather is easily crap and the "season" is too short, get a boat that can handle the weather.
