Hi Folks,

I am looking to do a couple upgrades to my boat.

1) Does anyone have any interior deck lighting pictures or explanation about how they light up their Montauk at night? Obviously these boats don't have any under gunnel areas, so the only thing I can think about is the little underwater lights or equivalent that I could fabricate into the center console that would face out. But what about the stern and bow? I've seen where people attach another piece of metal to the grab bar on the console and attach deck lights to that, but it looks cheesy to me. Any ideas? I currently just use a flashlight when going out in the dark and it's a PITA.

2) My deck is pretty clean with few imperfections, but I was wondering if anyone actually had their deck done with SeaDek? I am more concerned with the resale and longevity factor for this, not price. The boat is in amazing shape for a 1984, so I do not want to bring down its value among people that like classic Whalers but I like the idea of extra non-skid padding.

Thanks,

John
