Author	Topic:   Casting platform for Montauk 170
Marsh	posted 11-01-2004 08:02 PM ET (US)         Anybody got a template for building a forward platform for a newer (2004) model 170 Montauk? I'm thinking of one that would level the area forward of the CC even with the bow locker. I had a classic Montauk years ago with this feature, and found it useful in many ways: the added level surface area made sunbathing possible for the wife while I fished, or sleeping possible for me on those overnight trips; the under-area provided lots of storage space for stuff. I'm thinking of building one out of king starboard or the like...gotta think about this some more, though. Any thoughts? Marsh

If you get it wide enough you can cut it to fit and refinish. Much stronger than starboard. You can see some of it here: http://bellsouthpwp.net/j/s/jstachow/Homepa/Homepa6/stack6.htm Mine fits on top of front railing and is bungeed to the inside front eye.
