Okay, sounds like new is the best way for you to go then.* For fishing, the Montauk 150 will be a better platform. The 170 Supersport is nice enough, but the interior layout is less than ideal for fishing -- too cluttered/obstructed. It is designed as a ski-boat, so fishing considerations were not high on their list.

If you go with a new Montauk 150, I would suggest you skip the live-well option. It takes up a lot of useful space in this small hull (I wouldn't put one in a 170 Montauk, either.)


*I felt same way initially, but as I became more educated I felt more comfortable with the idea of finding a used model in top condition.
