Montauks in their original configuration are not known for generous storage, since they only have the bow anchor locker, the 94 qt front cooler seat and the inside of the center console.

On mine, I have the console raised 6", which has a side effect of needed additional storage for life jackets and cushions underneath, held in place by a bungee cord across the fornt opening. It works well to get those bulky items out of the way but easily accessible. I also have the battery in it's original location, keeping the center console interior wide open for storage. Fenders go inside the front cooler when the boat is not in use, but otherwise reside at the ready, attached to my "fender pole" design, sitting in the rod holders. I use three 3/8" x 25' dock lines, one in the bow and one in each stern corner, The stern lines are coiled and strapped to the side rail with a velcro "tie wrap". Boating clothes, womens' purses, small duffels, etc and snack/lunch bags go into either the front cooler or console. The cooler tray and RPS seatback hold misc small items and spares, etc.
