That being said ,,,The original Montauk was produced for only three years and what we have here is the last year Montauk II I dont know much of any history of this hull ,,I found it in the basement of a old barn just outside of Canandaigua in the finger Lakes region of upstate NY where it had been sitting for over ten years ,,, so the guy told me ,,, he wasn't quite sure , he bought it , bare hull, with rails to restore ,,, never had the time and it sat there . Someone had started on it and painted it with what im guessing was a mop , maybe a broom ,, not sure,,, we had to start from scratch The hull was sanded down to original fiberglass ,,It was in very good shape ,,pretty much all we had to do was fill in the mounting holes ,, there was no damage on it ,, we faired it out and epoxied primed the topsides ,,, bottom was primed with Interlux Interprotect 2000e , stops water intrusion thru the fiberglass and seals the hull ,,Bottom was then top coated with Interlux bottomcoat ,, a antifouling paint good for trailing or leaving tied to the dock ,,, topsides done in immron urathane in the tan color ,,, The nonskid deck pattern on these older boats get worn and is very had to reproduce so I used " Kiwi, grip " its a rubberized coating developed by New Zealand sailboat racers ,,, neat stuff ,,,and very durable ,easy on bare feet , recoating if need be in the future is very easy ,,,scrub it down and roll another coat on After an exhaustive search i found The original center console with the grab rail and RPS seat for the boat on long Island ,,, The console was pretty much bare with alot of holes from mounting everything over the years ,,not pretty, We stripped it down to bare fiberglass , all the reinforcing plywood wood inside and out replaced ,all the holes fiberglassed and painted .
