Author	Topic:   Wood in Montauk 170
Macadoo	posted 08-04-2005 09:50 PM ET (US)         When I purchased my 2003 170 I found a drawing of the boat in the owners manual and locations where the boat had wood backing under the deck. These areas included the transome, locations for installing a bimini top etc. Does anyone know if the material used for these backing plates is wood or "whaler board" on a 2003 170?

I don't have the diagram in front of me, but I think the wood is shown as PLY and the composite whalerboard as WB. The 170 has both. I think the transom is plywood and some of the other areas are whalerboard.
