Boston Whaler Repower Program

[@gbass7328]

Would have been cool to see the speed difference between engines and how high you mounted the Merc on the transom. Also the cost and recoup for the engines.

[@dap5790]

I wish you hadn't run the music when on the water. I really wanted to hear the motor at speed, to see if it really was that quiet.

[@drmrjon]

What was the total cost of the repower?

Been a Mercury guy my whole life but recently changed. I have a 2009 75hp Mercury 4 stroke on my 17 foot montauk. Bought the boat with a new motor with 12 hours on it. I am meticulous about keeping up my eguipment. Servicing every 80 hours. Oil and filter change with mercury oil and filters. Lower unit oil change and impeller change at the same time. I have had this boat for 6 years and at exactly 1000 hours a low oil pressure warning came over the guardian system and I immediately shut down and investigated. Without any warning it has spun a bearing. Mercury was notified and they said out of warranty we will do nothing. The motors should last 5,000 hours when properly serviced and not abused. Very disappointed and will never endorse Mercury again. You should think about any Mercury Purchase.

Great! What was your top speed?

[@flicewatter]

Sweet!

[@highfeather1]

I want to know how fast that new 4-stroke will push this Montauk, and I would have preferred to hear the motor, rather than the guitar riff, at WOT.

Ray Hunt was not a fan of this design being over 15'

All that money to repower yet they keep the Pate plastics fiberglass fuel tank? Get ready for some fuel leaks and clogged injectors if you run ethanol gas.

"170 Montauk", ... not. Look it up, different boat.

[@kennethcroke8812]

Yes. It's a 17 ' Montauk. Good call.

i love how you did no comparison because the etec is faster and better on fuel. also love how you put the smartcraft gauge front and center and boasted of it's features, yet conveniently didn't show the available digital evinrude gauges that can do all that one does and more lol. also the owners could care less about motors, as the etec was beat to hell. actually, the whole boat was and continues to be completely neglected and trashed.

[@kennethcroke8812]

I thought Evinrude was out of business. So why show available Evinrude gauges?

Man, you have some anger & envy issues. Learn to control the small mind. Cheers

[@sawmaster6095]

Going to that 4-stroke is really a downgrade, but man they sure beat the piss out of that old engine!
