Author	Topic:   Wood in sides of 96' montauk?
weekendwarrior	posted 02-25-2003 10:59 AM ET (US)         I've got a few guard rail screws in my '96 Montauk which have stripped. I'm going to fix them using marine tex, but I'm curious to know if I will run into any wood back there when I'm drilling?

Tom W Clark	posted 02-25-2003 11:12 AM ET (US)             weekendwarrior, Your boat is from a rather transitional time when Whaler was switching from using plywood for backing to phenolic resin board (Whaleboard). I have wood locating diagrams for both the 1995 model year Montauk and the 1997 model year Montauk. In terms of backing for the side rails, chances are that it is 1/2" plywood in your hull. Only the backing for the bow rail on the 1997 drawing indicate Whaleboard.
