New Montauks to Celebrate Boston Whaler’s 60th Anniversary. And You Can Still Cut Them in Half

If ever there was an American boating classic, it was the Boston Whaler Montauk. Now, to celebrate Whaler’s 60th anniversary, the company is making special editions of its iconic 150 and 170 Montauk. At a recent anniversary celebration in Sarasota, Florida, they even took out a chainsaw and cut one in half. In the best Whaler tradition, both halves stayed afloat.

The new anniversary models have a precision-engineered hull, and can be used as yacht tenders or fishing and sport boats in their own right. Anglers can customize the boats with an optional fishing package that adds a compass, a 36-quart or 72-quart cooler seat with cushion and backrest, console-mounted rod holders and tackle drawers. The 170 Montauk has an integrated 25-gallon fuel tank and an integrated forward fish box with overboard drainage. Both the 150 and 170 anniversary models come with a standard galvanized trailer with swing tongue, disc brakes and LED lights.

“Boston Whaler has always been committed to getting boaters out on the water quickly and easily,” said Whaler President Nick Stickler. “The new 150 and 170 celebrate that spirit of functionality and ease. We’re proud to debut them as a cornerstone of our 60th anniversary celebration.”
