Good Morning,
My wife and I are currently in between boats, and looking at Boston Whalers. We have a small car with limited towing capabilities ( 1500 lbs). Looking at various sites it appears that we could tow all of the 15 or 16 footers. My question is on the 17s. The current 170 Montauks are listed on the Whaler site as 1700 lbs. plus motor and trailer, which is too heavy. Other sites list the older Montauk 17s ( 1979 thru 1997) at about 1000 lbs plus motor and trailer. Is there that big of a difference, and if so what changed and when?
Thank you
