The Boston Whaler 190 Montauk stands as a versatile and dependable choice for boaters who demand the best in functionality, reliability, and timeless design. Whether you're heading out for a relaxing day with the family, cruising along the coast, fishing inshore waters, or towing water toys for a weekend of fun, this 19-foot center console delivers on every front. As a brand-new build, the 190 Montauk can be customized to suit your personal preferences, making it an ideal choice for both first-time boat buyers and seasoned captains looking to upgrade or expand their fleet.

The Montauk name is steeped in Boston Whaler tradition. Known for its durability, safety, and intuitive layout, the Montauk family has earned a reputation as one of the most reliable series of small boats on the water. The 190 Montauk, with its larger size and expanded capabilities compared to its smaller siblings, retains all of the legacy features while offering more power, more storage, and more versatility.

Hull and Construction

At the heart of the 190 Montauk is the legendary Boston Whaler construction. Built with the company's proprietary Unibond construction method, the boat features a foam-filled hull that is unsinkable, even if cut in half. The result is a sturdy, solid ride in a wide range of sea conditions. The 190 Montauk measures 19 feet in overall length with a beam of 8 feet, providing exceptional stability and space for passengers and gear.

The boat's clean, classic lines are paired with practical touches throughout. Stainless steel hardware, reinforced deck components, and a durable non-skid surface combine for a vessel that is rugged and long-lasting. The high freeboard and full transom provide additional safety in rougher waters and protection for passengers onboard.

Power and Performance

The 190 Montauk comes standard with a 115-horsepower Mercury EXLPT Command Thrust FourStroke engine. This engine is renowned for its fuel efficiency, quiet operation, and ease of maintenance. For those who desire more speed or require additional power for towing or heavier loads, an optional 150 XL Mercury FourStroke with hydraulic steering is available.

With the 115-hp engine, the 190 Montauk delivers a smooth and efficient cruising speed and can reach a top speed in the mid-30 mph range. With the 150-hp upgrade, performance increases significantly, allowing for speeds near or exceeding 45 mph depending on conditions and load. This power flexibility means the boat can handle everything from calm cruising to demanding fishing days or sporty water activities.

Fuel and Range

The integrated 60-gallon fuel tank ensures that the 190 Montauk has the range for extended excursions. Whether you're exploring distant fishing grounds or spending a full day with friends and family on the water, you can count on the 190 to take you there and back without worry. The fuel tank is positioned for ideal weight distribution and includes easy-access fittings and a secure cap to reduce spillage or fumes.

Fishing Features

Anglers will appreciate the thoughtful fishing features that come standard or can be added with the optional Fishing Package. This package includes a 72-quart cooler seat with a cushioned top and backrest, making it dual-purpose as both a comfortable forward helm seat and a place to store ice and bait. It also includes tackle drawers and console-mounted rod holders, offering plenty of room for storing gear and keeping rods secure while underway.

The forward section of the boat includes a large fish box with an overboard drain that also serves as dry storage when not used for catch. The boat's open layout and wide beam make it easy to move around the deck while fighting fish or casting, and the optional teak package provides a touch of style while maintaining practicality.

Comfort and Layout

The center console layout of the 190 Montauk is one of its defining features. It offers open walkways to both port and starboard, making movement around the boat safe and easy. The helm includes a stainless steel wheel, clear instrumentation, cup holders, and ample room for optional electronics such as GPS and depth finders. An available Simrad navigation system adds modern convenience and precise route planning, ideal for those who cruise frequently or fish new waters.

The helm seating can be customized with different configurations, including a leaning post or bench seat, allowing the buyer to tailor the space for their preferred style of boating. At the bow, additional seating can be added along with a bow cushion for lounging. The aft quarter seats are comfortable and removable for better deck space when needed.

With a beam of 8 feet, the 190 Montauk offers room for up to 8 passengers, making it perfect for family outings. Non-skid surfaces and grab rails throughout the vessel ensure that everyone, from kids to seasoned boaters, feels safe while underway.

Swim Platform and Water Access

At the stern, the fiberglass swim platform includes a stainless steel telescoping ladder, making water access easy for swimmers, snorkelers, or divers. Whether anchored near a beach, at a sandbar, or simply enjoying a swim stop, re-entry into the boat is effortless. The standard swim platform is thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the hull and includes non-skid texture for safety when wet.

Trailer and Transport

Included with the 190 Montauk is a galvanized trailer with a swing tongue, disc brakes, and LED lights. This robust trailer is built for easy towing and launching, even for single operators. Its swing tongue feature allows the package to be stored in many residential garages, keeping ownership convenient and cost-effective.

Because the boat's dry weight is approximately 2,000 pounds (without engine), it can be towed by many midsize SUVs or light trucks, making it accessible to a wider range of boating enthusiasts.

Customization and Optional Upgrades

One of the most attractive elements of ordering a new Boston Whaler 190 Montauk is the ability to customize it to your liking. From power choices and electronics packages to seating configurations and style upgrades like the teak package, you can design the boat that fits your needs and aesthetic preferences.

Available options include:

Teak boarding steps and accents on the swim ladder

Bimini or suntop for shade and protection

Bow cushion with backrest

Portable head in console compartment

Stereo system and additional speakers

Ski tow arch for watersports

Each customization is expertly installed at the factory to ensure quality fit and finish. And with the ability to add premium accessories or keep the boat simple and functional, the 190 Montauk becomes whatever you need it to be.
