Guts & Mattroche, nice boats.
Question... the wood on your console hatches and captain's bench is teak or mahogany? I have a '90 Montauk and all the wood was varnished when I acquired it. When I re-ordered new cooler cleats last year the seller told me the only teak on the '90 Montauks was the sump cover. Misinformation? Or maybe I misunderstood him. Was there a choice of woods for those parts? I'm going to refinish and if the parts are teak I'll oil, but if they are mahogany I will varnish.
