The boat can handle the weight. For several years, Whaler factory installed the Mercury 4-stroke 90, with Yamaha powerhead, on Montauks, which weighed 388lb at the time.

I was also recently looking at pricing on a new 2017 Mercury 4-stroke 90, with large 2.0 liter displacement and 359#, and was quoted $6825, including a 5 year warranty. That also seemed like a good deal. This is the same engine Whaler is now furnishing as standard equipment on the 170 Montauks.
