One of the first 170 owners, Tabasco, replaced his new Mercury 90 with a 115 on a Montauk 170 back in 2002.
Extrapolating from this would infer the Montauk 170 II should have a 135 or 150hp.
Remember Boston Whaler tests the boat light. 25 gallons of gas, 20 lbs of gear (anchor probably) and two people in 80 degree weather.
Maybe the Merc 115 ProXS Fourstroke would be a good choice? California ARB certified that engine at 126 HP.
I can't see why Whaler wouldn't offer it as an option on the 2018 170 Montauk?
