This is the preferred method for me and many others as it gets the canvas out of the inside of the boat. Here is one on a 1990 model Montauk: http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...r_id=14716 Here is one I helped my friend with but aftermarket: http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...?user_id=5 And here is my prior Montauk that I was going to do the same thing with but sold it before I installed the sliders: http://users.sisqtel.net/jkriz/Montau...t-side.jpg If you were to buy a new Mills, then I would suggest you get the newer style as shown in the links above with the tracks. Here is the .pdf for installing the newer mounting style on the gunwale. http://www.millscanvas.com/cfm/docume...nstall.pdf If you buy aftermarket, then you might have to adjust where the slider in mounted on the gunwale or buy a longer slider. From your personal page, you don't have a bow rail but the installation would still be the same with the sliders.
