I just made new companion way boards using 3/8" marine ply. Fit like the previous (unknown if they were the originals). If you wanted to use 1/2" boards (would recommend over the 1/4" thick material), you could route or table saw a rabbet the edges to fit the teak guide slots.

Hi all,
I took off most of the wood on my Monty 15 and am currently sanding it all down to get ready to make look good again. I am debating whether to do varnish or oil, does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on the matter? I would greatly appreciate some input. Also, my companion way boards are in disrepair and I am going to just make new ones. Are the monty's only set up to have 1/4" companion way boards or would 1/2" work?
Thanks in advance for the help!
