Author	Topic:   2006 150 SPORT Wood Locations
rbm	posted 06-27-2015 08:04 AM ET (US)      I own a 2006 150 SPORT. I have the wood locating diagram. With a stud finder I am detecting backing material in two locations along the gunwales between the back of the seats and the outside corner of the curve to the transom. The wood locating diagram only depicts a single location for backing material in this gunnel area. If you own a 2006 Boston Whaler, let's chat. Thanks

Chuck said that Boston Whaler would have very likely put 1/2-inch plywod backing in this area. Furthermore, I was told NOT to install cleats within the plywood area, but rather only rely upon the Phenolic locations as noted in the Wood Locating Diagram
