I had thought someone dropped something on the boat...but I"ve seen this imprint on at least 1 other early 70's era whaler. What is it? thanks, john digitalvet attached the following image: [40.21Kb] Edited by digitalvet on 10/24/08 - 6:19 AM

I have made a few observations: 1 - They are molded in from the factory 2 - Everywhere there is one of these there is wood under the deck 3 - If you notice it looks like they have reverse screw head imprints in them My though is these were put in the molds to help the builder know where to put the deck wood structures after the gel and glass went down. It would be easy to see them and just place the boards down. I am sure someone on this site will have the exact purpose but this sounded logical to me. I am taking mine out while I am refurbing the floor. Rob 1973 Outrage/Lo-Pro Conversion
