I've never really looked at the newer Montauk but I'm sort of surprised the fuel capacity is only (2) six gallon tanks. I know my older 2 stroke 90 Yamaha (which is a very reliable engine BTW) is much less efficient than the newer 4 strokes but I'm regularly pushing the limits of my fuel capacity ((2) twelve gallon tanks on my Montauk 17) running around the Chesapeake, something to consider.


The goofy 2 - six gallon tank thing surprised me as well. I think most folks put that 24/25 gallon Moeller tank under the RPS. The 4 stroke 90 goes a long way on 24 gallons.
