2027 Boston Whaler 190 Montauk

The 2027 Boston Whaler 190 Montauk is a 19-foot center console on Whaler’s foam-cored unsinkable hull, a step up in size from the 170 with more deck, more freeboard, and a steadier ride in a chop. It keeps the clean, hose-and-go Montauk layout: a forward fishbox, a reversible pilot seat, a Simrad touchscreen helm, and an optional fishing package with rod holders, tackle storage, and a livewell. Whaler rigs it with a Mercury outboard, and the foam-filled construction keeps it afloat even swamped, which is the Montauk’s calling card. It fishes and family-cruises with equal ease and tows behind a half-ton truck.

The extra length earns its keep on Flathead, where the afternoon wind builds chop and a 19-footer stays drier and more settled than a smaller skiff. It still gets into the shallower corners for fishing, and the fall bite is where the casting room pays off. See the 190 Montauk at Whitefish Marine, or call 406-862-8594.
