All Boston Whaler boats were and continue to be sold with Mercury outboard engines.

With the exception of the 2003-2006 model years, the Mercury 90 EFI and FourStroke are decent engines.

There are too many variables to predict range.

Mounting the tank on Dri-dek squares allow water to pass underneath.

The Montauk 170 for the years 2002- 2008 are all the same. The 2009-2017 Montauk 170 have a slightly taller console. In 2018 the model was changed with substantive changes to the hull and interior.


I am currently looking at a 2006 Montauk 170 and it has a 2006 Merc 4 stroke with under 200 hours. So that is a potential problem?
