They seem to just be minding their own as the scour around for who knows what food source. The boat is a 1990 Montauk with some aged teak that is currently being refinished. Does any one have any idea what these might be. Thanks -EastEnd When I am past the breakers, I leave the world behind.

Not sure the name of the critters or what they eat, (probably just about anything) but I did find that as I closed up more and more extra screw holes and got rid of damp areas, the creepy crawly population dropped significantly. Our bugs are most likely a direct descendant from the original Whaler factory in Massachusetts. In case your population drops below factory specs, the OEM Boston Whaler part number is BW595.786.
