Just got mine a few days ago. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...cle_id=118 From what I see, the older 150 Montauk and 170 Montauk are no longer offered. Only the newer 2nd generation (II). http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...owstart=60

I wonder what the weight of the "New Model 170 Montauk" is: the catalog specifications page shows 1700 lbs no engine and 1890 lbs w/engine, fuel and water. This is an obvious mistake unless they weighed the new model with a 4 hp kicker motor attached.

On the Whaler site under Models they still show the old 150 and 170 together with the new 2018 showing just the minor accessories differences. The basic 150 Montauk difference is the single gas tank for the 2018 instead of two smaller ones. For the rest the specs are the same. The 170's are much different with the internal twice as big tank, the dual bow lockers and then the many optional accessories you can get to dress up the boat. Hull wgt, motor, and other capacities seem the same. These new re-designs will be classics of their own and I like my now "classic" 1st generation 150 Montauk. Thanks.

Only the new models which we are going to list 150 Montauk II and the 170 Montauk II. The 150 Montauk II shows a 2" deeper draft in the specifications. http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=33 Weatherly, Difference in weight might be the 25" transom, the internal fuel tank, 4" in length and 5" in width etc. Would like to see one in person. 170 Montuak II comparison http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=34

Yes I'm aware but right now they still show both on the web-site as 150/170 Montauk with the new one as a 2018 The 150 Montauk II shows a 2" deeper draft in the specifications. Yes and slightly longer by 4" and draft by 3" and wider, etc. optional larger HP, better storage, but in general the same layout, weight is debatable as there is still a question of weight with engine, but based on current publications here it is; MONTAUK 170 v. MONTAUK 170 2018 Length = 17-feet v. 17-feet 4-inches; 4-inches longer Beam = 6-feet 10-inches v. 7-feet 3-inches; 5-inches wider Draft = 9-iniches v. 12-inches; 3-inches more draft Dry Weight = 1,400 v. 1,700-lbs; 300-lbs heavier Max. Wt. Capacity = 1,650 v. 1,900-lbs; 250-lbs more capacity Swamped Capacity = 3,400-lbs v. 2,800-lbs; loss of 600-lbs swamped capacity Person Capacity = 7 for both Maximum HP = 90 v. 115-HP; 25-HP increase Minimum HP = 60 v. 90-HP; 30-HP increase Deadrise at transom = 16-degrees for both http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=34 EJO Skipper E-J m/v "Clumsy Cleat" a 2008 Montauk 150

Site Owner Personal Page Personal Album Photo Albums Project Albums Posts: 11447 Comments: 452 Joined: 03/18/05	We were discussing the Catalog as I intended in this post. The older models are NOT shown in the catalogs and not offered in the 2018 catalogs. So there must not be an option to purchase an older 2017 model from the catalogs. Only newer 2018 models. It would be good to see the HIN of any older 170 Montauk (2017) that has a BWCxxxxxxxx18 There might be some before January of this year with the year model of 2018. We will have to wait and see. We have seen this before on transition years. Question to anyone. Can you buy an older 2017 170 Montauk that is being made this month, January 2018? Not last month or last year, but today? Only the HIN will tell us. http://www.whalercentral.com/viewpage...age_id=173

Member Posts: 752 Comments: 4 Joined: 12/31/06	Joe: You are correct. A person can buy an older 2017 170 Montauk but it will not be made in 2018. I just "built my own "170 Montauk older version using the link from the Boston Whaler's Diamond Anniversary Sales Event email I received (sale on until 28 Feb 2018) and ended up with a prompt to enter my personal data so that a dealer could contact me once already manufactured boat was located with my preferred specifications.

The new weight figure is 2320lbs (with engine, fuel). The customer rep said the specifications information will be corrected on the website.

So with the motor being 360lbs and the gas 150 we are looking at a hull weight closer to 1,800 lbs instead of the 1,700 lbs they show. Will be a good riding boat.
