I have two Montauks.
A 1995 17 with an Evinrude 90 2 and a 2003 170 with a Merc 90 2.
Both are fantastic boats. The 170 is in South Carolina and I use it inshore and offshore and the 17 is in Texas and I use it inshore and sometimes freshwater.
The 170 is larger than the 17 and has a higher freeboard.
They both are OK for 3 for serious fishing and 5 for birdwatching, trips to the beach and just riding around.
With a family of 5 and a Montauk 17 or 170 you would have to be friendly!
