I had a Montauk 17' back in the mid-80's . It was a great little boat . I was young and bulett proof back then . It was nothing to run 40 miles offshore . I even pulled it down to Miami and ran over to Bimini with a couple of friends . I went out on a friends about a year ago and I'm so glad that I do not have that boat any longer . I had forgotten just how rough that sucker rode . I don't know about the new ones , but a kept mine six years and sold it for $3k less than it cost brand new . It looked like new but that 90hp Evinrude sure had some hard time on it .
