    Did Monterey boats use plywood in the floor or transom in 1999 180M boats?

    I posted this in the Monterey section but got no replies so I am re-posting here. So I have a 1999 180M w/ Volvo 4.3GL that I purchased last fall......after an intensive but short research period. Where I live (northern Colorado) there are not many Monterey's (I only have seen 1 other at the...

    Any reason not to widen bunks from 6" to 8" (pics to evaluate inside)

    I have a '99 Trail Rite trailer that carries my '99 Monterey 180M. The bunks are in need of repair due to age and some de-lamination of the existing 2x6" bunk boards. I can't easily get southern yellow pine here in Colorado (I have checked and checked) and I am not interested in dealing with...

    I have a 1999 Monterey 180M - Does it have wood in floor or transom?

    So I have a 1999 180M w/ Volvo 4.3GL that I purchased last fall......after an intensive but short research period. Where I live (northern Colorado) there are not many Monterey's (I only have seen 1 other at the local lake since then and never before) so I had literally zero experience or local...

    Using barge cement for bunk carpet on new bunks - or something else?

    I have a trailer that is in need of new bunks because one of them has a crack lengthwise along it. I have the wood and new carpet picked out but I was wondering what people use for glue/cement. Barge cement is a contact adhesive use mostly for shoes but my rafting buddies swear by it for...

    Volvo 4.3GL Trim control toggle switch repl/fix - need help finding part number/ideas

    I have a 99 Monterey 180M with a Volvo 4.3GL-PWTC/SX stern drive. The trim up/down toggle switch on the throttle works but it will stick in the up position sometimes because (it feels like) the spring that makes it a momentary switch (i.e. returns it to off) is weak. This means that you have...

    1999 Volvo Penta 4.3GL PWTC tune up part info needed.

    I just bought a 99 Monterey 180M with the 4.3L Volvo 4.3GLPWTC engine. Going through it the only thing I found wrong was slightly old/corroded cap and rotor and needs plugs (because I broke one getting it out to check) so I could just replace one. I will be running it at 5000-7000' of altitude...
