Hi Joe and Welcome to WhalerCentral.

Here is what a 1978 Montauk looks like.

I had the exact same year and model for 15 years.

It sounds like you have some other model. Look through some of the other photos in the personal page section here:
http://www.whalercentral.com/viewpage...page_id=53
and the Whaler Model/Year index section here:
http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...allery.php

See if you can identify your model from any of the above photos in those links.
You should be able to just replace all the wood and then your boat will be restored.

jwolf,

I would look through all the photos in the Photo Galleries.
Or, post a photo of your boat so we can tell you what it is...

Does your boat look like these?

Joe,
he said he has a "side console." Good suggestion that he post a picture.
