2020 Boston Whaler

General Description

2020 Boston Whaler 170 Montauk (17′ Montauk) — Description & Specs

General

• The Montauk line is a classic center-console “do-everything” boat — good for fishing, cruising, and general utility. 
• It’s known for rugged utility, ease of cleanup (“hose-and-go” design), and Boston Whaler’s signature feature of positive flotation / “unsinkability.”
