Traditionally open celled [materials] will absorb water and get heavy.
Closed cell foam doesn't absorb water and is what you want in a boat floor.
The above is what I have always been told and has been my experience.

Re: For sale: Montauk rod holders
I cant really see the condition of the white rubber caps around the RPS rod holders but if the rubber is not ripped or ragged,
I will take them. Please tell me how to pay? Paypal would be great? Shipping to Irmo, SC
Thanks
Rick

Re: Direct fit cooler replacement for a 1987 Montauk
Mark--the original cooler was a 86-quart Igloo Marine series. Igloo modified this design by changing the lid and increasing the size to 94-quart. The width and length are the same as the 86-quart. Owners of classic Montauk's, including me, who have the rod holders and cushions are told when replaci...

Re: After Impeller Change, Gear Case Always in Forward
Drop the lower unit again. Put your shift lever in Neutral and take a pair if vise grips and turn the shift shaft coming up out of lower unit until it is in Neutral. THe propeller will spin free by hand. Fit the lower unit back up without the shaft splines changing position.
Easy-peezy.

I have two reddish color fuel tank mats under my RPS seat, one for each 6-gallon tank. They are dry rotted, faded, and just unsightly. I wou...

1985 Montauk Gel Coat Color
I want to buy the small jars of Spectrum Gel Coat repair.
I have a 1985 17 Montauk. Spectrum's site lists seven colors for Boston Whaler in 1985.
[What is] the gel coat color of the outside of my hull transom?
[What is] the color of the inside of the hull inside walls?
Thanks
