Default Another vote for Montauk

We have an '07 150 Montauk that I originally bought for the kids to use. Now I use it wherever I go locally. Always looking for a reason to go to the hardware store/supermarket/liquor store. The big boat is only used if we go long distances or if we have company. Great little boat. Easy to dock and maneuver. I like that fact that I can stand up and walk around it. Several times we've taken it to the fireworks in Center Harbor and been in the middle of the mass exodus and never felt unsafe.

I would not call it self draining. It does have a bilge and if that fails with the plug in it will fill the boat but if you turn it off and pull the plug it will only fill so much (maybe 15 gallons???) then stop. As long as nothing is stored in the stern, like life jackets, you have nothing to worry about as it won't reach the helm or the seat. You could also opt for a mooring cover that would keep the water out. I'm thinking about doing just that.
