I found a hull identification number in the bow chest. How do I find out what year this hull is? (HIN 2365) Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to this site and it is awesome.

Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ link is on left sidebar. http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...d_faqs.php Early models had the Stencil Number only and did not have an HIN plate or embossed in the transom. By the way, Happy Birthday and welcome to WhalerCentral. Edited by Joe Kriz on 07/19/10 - 3:47 PM

I'm getting the gelcoat sandblasted off soon, then I can start the fiberglass repairs. When it comes back from blasting I'll start postig some photos. Thanks again, talk with you soon
