Haulover Inlet Vs. Boston Whaler 170 Montauk Fishing Boat Evinrude 115 E-Tec Outboard Engine 4K UHD

Haulover Inlet waves versus this tiny Boston Whaler 170 Montauk fishing boat with an Evinrude 115 E-Tec outboard engine. Recorded in 4K UHD with a Nikon Z6 III and a Nikkor 28-400mm F/4-8 VR all-in-one superzoom lens. Boston Whaler 170 Montauk when equipped with an Evinrude 115 E-TEC-equivalent outboard (or similar ~115 hp outboard): ⚠️ Note: Boston Whaler’s official new-boat configurator lists the 170 Montauk with up to 115 hp max outboard (typically Mercury Command Thrust), and the company does not list Evinrude E-TEC as a factory option today — but older/used Montauk hulls can be repowered with E-TEC 115 engines and many owners do this. In repower chats the 115 E-TEC has been used on 17′ Whalers in the past, though weight and rigging differences vs modern factory-supplied engines should be considered. 🚤 Boston Whaler 170 Montauk — Overview Type: Inshore center-console fiberglass boat Role: Fishing, cruising, family days on the water Country: U.S. model (pricing in USD) Dimensions & Capacities Length Overall (LOA): 17′ 4″ (5.28 m) Beam: 7′ 3″ (2.21 m) Draft: ~12″ (0.30 m) Persons Capacity: 7 Fuel Capacity: 25 gal (94.6 L) Weight (w/engine, fuel, water): ~2,254 lb (1,022 kg) Max Horsepower (rated): 115 hp Engine Weight Limit: ~410 lb (186 kg) ⚙️ Power & Performance Factory Outboards: Standard models come with Mercury 90 hp up to 115 hp Command Thrust four-stroke engines. With a 115 hp outboard fitted and properly rigged, the 170 Montauk can reach cruise top speeds in the mid 40 mph range (~45 mph) in tests. Evinrude 115 E-TEC / Equivalent: An Evinrude 115 hp E-TEC G2 weighs around 390 lb and has fuel-injected direct-injection two-stroke technology with good torque and relatively lightweight design for its power class. Historically, E-TEC 115s have been used on boat hulls of similar size and power but installation requires careful rigging (steering, controls, prop selection) to match the Whaler’s transom and trim. 🛠 Features & Standard Equipment The 170 Montauk is known for a rugged, simple utility layout with features geared toward fishing and all-around use. Standard and optional features include: Deck & Cockpit Integrated forward fishbox with overboard drain Heavy-duty rub rail Swim platform with telescoping swim ladder Rod holders, bow locker, integrated transom storage Helm & Electronics Console with windshield and drink holders Mercury binnacle control (or appropriate control for repowered engine) Optional Simrad navigation electronics Trailer Standard galvanized trailer with swing tongue, disc brakes, LED lights Optional Packages Fishing package: tackle drawers, cooler seat, rod holders Livewell option Bimini top, seating upgrades, and color/gelcoat options 💵 Price Range (U.S.) New Boats Manufacturer configured base price of a factory 170 Montauk in 2026 spec is shown at approximately $50,253 MSRP, though this is without dealer fees and optional upgrades. Actual new inventory listings with upgrades commonly range roughly $60,000 – $66,000+ USD when equipped with a 115 hp outboard and accessories (fishing packages, canvas, livewell, stereo, etc.). Used / Repowered Boats Used boats with a 115 hp outboard (including Evinrude repowers or older factory engines) vary widely based on age, condition, hours, and location. Listings for older 170 Montauks with a 115 hp outboard range from $30,000 – $55,000+ in private and dealer markets. Note on Evinrude E-TEC Engines: Evinrude discontinued production in recent years, so boat dealers may not offer new E-TEC engines as an OEM option. Repower costs with a used/new E-TEC 115 include engine purchase plus rigging, controls, and possibly custom mounts/shifts — often adding several thousand USD beyond the boat’s base price.
