[What are] the dimensions for the sump or bilge cover on a 1988 Montauk hull? I believe it was 1/2-inch thick, but what is the length and width?

[The dimensions of the sump cover on a MONTAUK are:] 7-3/4"(W) x 9"(L) x 1/2"(T) teak marine plywood. Forward corners are radiused 3/8"

As a follow up, I fabricated a cover out of 1/2" Seaboard which is similar to King Starboard. The color is Seafoam which matches the gel coat close. I use Larry's dimensions and as usual he was dead on. My steering cable exits the sump sooner then the other rigging so I had to create an angled void in the cover. I routed the edges and now need to radius the front corners. I will attach the cover with Velcro. I filled in the screw holes several years ago. I will see how the Velcro holds up.

Good call on filling the screw holes. BW didn't bed them with anything, so there's opportunity for leaks to the hull interior.

3m makes a velcro you can stick electronics to your dash with...$1 an inch but it works. Mine is clear in color as well.
