Thank you however, with the exception to the DC, I'm not seeing the difference in seating area.
I guess you missed the part where I said the other Whalers have
"Built-In" seating for passengers where the Montauk 17' does not.
The Montauk 17' has an option of installing a stern seat in the middle of the floor in the stern taking up valuable room in such a small boat.
You can place folding marine seats on any boat for more seating but at what cost of deck space?
2 small kids and 2 adults. OK
3 medium to large kids and 2 adults would be overcrowded in my opinion thus my recommendation for other 17' models with more room and built-in seats.
As others have mentioned and added to the list of 17's
Not sure of used prices:
Montauk 170
