Welcome Aboard SJ Striper,

First off I would like to mention that there is another model of Whaler called the Rage. So we don't confuse the models, as I was confused, let's call it by the proper name, OUTRAGE...

I do agree with cndwhaler as for saving the Teak. If you don't want the teak on the floor, then that is a possibility as the floor does take a beating. The other 3 hatches on top of your full transom in my mind, should be Teak. They look beautiful when finished properly, either oil or some type of varnish. If some pieces are cracked, then these can be replaced easy enough. If you can't do it yourself, then take it to a woodworker.

I have refinished many teak pieces and replaced many broken teak pieces.
Here is an example of teak gunwales:

You may or may not have the teak gunwales as some models had the fiberglass gunwales.

Here are some other projects on this site done by ratherwhalering. Many of us have done these same types of projects. Taking the wood apart, replacing any broken pieces, and then glueing the parts back together.

This is a console door on many Montauk and Outrages.

Good luck and let us know when you get some photos posted.
