Montauk hull differences?

Not many Whaler's in my area, so I was hoping someone out there could give me a brief download on hull changes from the late 70's to early 90's. I've done quite a bit of searching and really haven't found much. If anything did change, it must have been very subtle. Thanks in advance. Ben

Teak Bow Locker was changed to Fiberglass around 1988/1989. A lot of other teak was replaced with fiberglass or composite materials in later years to eventually having no wood items at all. That should get you started.
