2014 Boston Whaler 170 Montauk
About This Yacht
This 2014 Boston Whaler 170 Montauk represents everything the legendary Massachusetts builder has perfected over decades: unsinkable construction, exceptional seakeeping, and remarkable versatility. With just 501 hours on her fuel-efficient Mercury 100 EFI outboard and meticulous care under covered storage in Cavalaire sur Mer, she's ready to deliver years of reliable adventures along the stunning Var coastline and beyond.
The 170 Montauk has earned its reputation as the Swiss Army knife of center console boats, equally capable whether you're casting for bass at dawn, pulling water skiers on summer afternoons, or simply exploring secluded coves with family. This particular example showcases the model's brilliant design philosophy with a removable forward sunpad that transforms the bow into a social space for relaxation, while the protected helm station with bimini ensures comfortable piloting in any conditions. The current owner has equipped her thoughtfully for Mediterranean boating, adding creature comforts like the freshwater shower system that makes beach days and post-swim rinses effortless.
Boston Whaler's legendary Unibond construction process creates a foam-cored hull that's virtually unsinkable, delivering both peace of mind and exceptional stability in challenging conditions. The 170 Montauk's moderate 17-foot length strikes the perfect balance between trailerable convenience and genuine offshore capability, while her shallow draft opens up countless anchorages and fishing spots inaccessible to larger vessels. The included Mecanorem trailer with 1,300 kg capacity means you can explore different launch points along the coast or winter her safely at home.
Whether your passion lies in sportfishing, watersports, or simply enjoying the freedom of the open water, this Montauk adapts seamlessly to your lifestyle. Her self-bailing cockpit, abundant storage, and thoughtfully positioned rod holders speak to serious anglers, while families appreciate the secure footing, high gunwales, and versatile seating arrangements. Currently maintained under covered storage and available for viewing by appointment, she represents exceptional value in the sub-£500K market for buyers seeking proven reliability and timeless design.
Machinery & Systems Propulsion comes from a 2014 Mercury F 100 EFI four-stroke outboard delivering 100 horsepower through a three-blade aluminum propeller, providing spirited performance while maintaining impressive fuel economy. With just 501 hours of use, this engine is barely broken in and benefits from Mercury's renowned Electronic Fuel Injection for smooth starts, responsive throttle, and reduced emissions. The hydraulic steering system ensures effortless handling and precise control, particularly valuable when maneuvering in tight marina spaces or holding position while fishing. The four-stroke configuration runs quieter than traditional two-strokes and requires less maintenance, with standard Mercury service intervals keeping operating costs predictable. The outboard's tilt and trim functionality allows optimization for various sea states and loading conditions, while the aluminum prop offers durability for Mediterranean waters where occasional shallow-water operation is inevitable.
Navigation & Electronics The helm console houses essential navigation and safety electronics appropriate for coastal cruising and offshore fishing expeditions. Standard VHF radio ensures reliable communication with harbormasters, fellow boaters, and emergency services throughout the region. The console's protected design shields instruments from spray and sun exposure, extending their operational life in the demanding marine environment. Additional safety equipment includes proper navigation lights for after-dark returns and all required flotation devices. The uncluttered dashboard layout provides excellent visibility and intuitive access to controls, allowing the helmsman to focus on seamanship rather than searching for switches.
Accommodations As a day boat designed for maximum versatility, the 170 Montauk prioritizes open-plan functionality over enclosed accommodations. The self-draining cockpit features molded non-skid surfaces throughout, ensuring secure footing even when wet. Ample under-gunwale storage compartments keep fishing gear, safety equipment, and personal belongings organized and protected from the elements. The removable forward cushion system creates a generous sunbathing area perfect for relaxation between activities, while the cushioned helm seat provides all-day comfort for the captain. A portable cooler can be secured in the cockpit for refreshments and catch storage. The console includes sufficient storage for navigation equipment, personal electronics, and essential supplies. Boston Whaler's signature attention to detail shows in thoughtful touches like recessed cleats that won't snag lines or bare feet, and strategically placed grab rails for secure movement underway.
Deck & Exterior The 170 Montauk's deck layout exemplifies intelligent design, with every square foot serving multiple purposes. The center console configuration provides 360-degree fishability while maintaining clear sight lines for the helmsman, and the protective bimini top offers welcome shade during extended outings under the Mediterranean sun. Forward, the removable sunpad transforms the bow into a social space or observation platform, easily stowed when fishing or watersports take priority. Gunwale-mounted rod holders position tackle within easy reach, while the self-bailing cockpit handles spray and washdown water without manual pumping. The integrated swim platform with boarding ladder facilitates easy water access for swimming, snorkeling, or boarding after water skiing. Freshwater shower plumbing with dedicated tank allows convenient rinsing of gear, fish, or crew, extending the boat's utility for beach days and water sports. Stainless steel hardware throughout resists corrosion in the saltwater environment, and multiple tie-down points secure the vessel properly to the included Mecanorem trailer. The console cover and helm seat cover protect upholstery and instruments during storage, preserving the boat's condition between outings.
