2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

If so, get yourself another plate because you'll find that stanchion stand-off isn't gripping much of anything. Cape Dory 28 Hobie 20 Miracle A Class Catamaran
