What are the measurments for locating the center console, RPS seat and cooler? Would someone be so kind as to measuring theirs? This would help me so much, I am getting the hull and center console gel coated soon and plan to install everything else after that. Thanks for all of you help, I could not have restored the Whaler without this website. Beantown

The distance from the front bow locker wall to the front of the console legs. 2. The distance from the back of the console legs to the front of the RPS legs. The cooler just sits in front of the console so you don't need any measurements for that once you get the console in the correct position and the RPS....

It would be better to get the measurements from the stern for this conversion. Where are all the Montauk owners. I don't have one close by or I would get the measurements for you.

Just to make sure I understand you correctly, I have a drawing attached. The measurements are to the back of the rear RPS legs and then from the front of the RPS legs. Correct?
