Screw Heads
Screw Heads
I'm disassembling my 1978 Sport 15 boat's wood to refinish it. The stainless screws I'm taking out are all slotted type screws. My other renovations had Philipps head screws. Which type is original? I much prefer the Philipps type, but if the originals were slotted, I want to reuse them.
Re: Screw Heads
I have never seen a slotted-head screw used on any Boston Whaler boat as a fastener.
Re: Screw Heads
I seriously doubt they are original but all the screws in the mahogany console on our 1981 Sport 13 are slotted wood screws. Woodworkers seem to prefer the slotted screws.

There may have been some few exceptions, but in all 10 Whalers I have owned, the screws were always Philipps head. 'm going with those.
Don't know why woodworkers would prefer slotted - unless they cost less... I
