You can always try the local lumber yard. Get some small lattice, cut to size and sand smooth. Some years ago a friend invited me to accompany him to the Chesapeake for the weekend on his Morgan 32. Got there and found we had not battens. I'm not a great DIYer, but was able to make some in about an hour. May have had to spend a couple of bucks on a coping saw and sand paper.

Bill, Thanks for the tip on battens. Sometimes simple solutions are best. How do you know what # your boat is? John McMichaels ----- Original Message ----- From: "William B.

John, There is a VIN (Vessel ID Number) stamped on the transom. My boat is not handy, about 1600 miles away, and I can't remember exactly where it's located. Can someone help John with the location?

John, On the starboard side of the the transom near the gunwale you will see the registration number.? I am working from memory so forgive if I'm slightly off.? However the number will begin with MMP9999mmyy.? MMP = Montgomery Marine Products 9999 = Hull number mm = Month of manufacture yy = Year of manufacture I hope this helps!
