Is there any reference sugesting a close match ? What have others used? Thanks, Dave Edited by Joe Kriz on 08/12/10 - 2:42 PM

These are located on the top of the transom and in the anchor locker. That would indicate a 1961 hull, but the Nauset production started in 1962. From the pictures it looks like a Nauset but i'm not sure. The title says 1972. So I'm not sure what I have Thanks, Dave

I just talked to Chuck at Boston Whaler about the 1961 Nauset models. These 1961 models were NOT in the 1961 catalogs although they were indeed produced in January of 1961 as 1961 models. So, you could have a 1961 or possibly a 1962 model depending on the month it was made. However, there are no records at this time from Boston Whaler. See this new article which you are now on the list. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...cle_id=102 So, let's call it a 1961 unless we can ever get any other info on these early models. Thanks for the clarification.

The State paperwork can be wrong many times anyway... The Stencil number on the boat is the real deal (if original of course) and that is your proof. If you want to know anymore about your boat, you could contact cbennett@whaler.com and see if he can tell you anymore info.
