I have A 2004 boston whaler 170 montauk Installing a mills bimini top should I use tape on the gunnels before I drill the holes for the supports Purpose for tape is to keep the fiberglass from possibly cracking. Any advice? I hear the Whaler board is extremely difficult to drill into. Any advice?

(corrected model to Montauk 170)

Not much different then wood plus you can thread the Whaler Board if you choose.
