Asking a Montauk 150 with a Mercury 60 hp motor to plane quickly with 5-6 people is quite silly. It is not about tabs or fins. It is about horsepower and torque.
The 150 Montauk has a dry weight of 950 lbs.
, this is the same weight of a classic Montauk 17). The maximum rated horsepower for this boat is only 60.
My classic Montauk was a dog to plane with 5 people and I had a properly rigged and propped 2 stroke
90hp motor.
