That is a very, very high price - really no way to justify paying that much for a Montauk with a 26-year-old motor. There are lots and lots of Montauks around, and you should be able to find one with a much newer motor for that price. If you are looking to put several hundred hours on per year, I am guessing that will mean a lot of fishing - for that, a newer, fuel-injected motor will be a huge advantage in fuel economy and trouble-free low speed operation.

My guess is the seller is done fishing for the season and is now trolling for uneducated buyers.
