hi all soon to be new whaler owner

torn between the 150 montauk and the 170 super sport as they are similar price points.

I do plan on fishing from it

I like the fishing design of the montuak but wonder if I am better off with the 170SS as it is bigger and has a bigger engine on the one I am considering.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

my concern with the montuak is it might not handle small chop as well as the 170 ss-I mainly plan on using it in a lake and or the bay

perfect world I would get the 170 montuak but that is a bit tough for me budget wise.

Thanks very much

(corrected typo in Montauk)
