Looks like someone just put a plank back there even though it does look good. https://www.whalercentral.com/userpho...lbum_id=15 See our download section for the "Stern Seat for Eastport" drawing. You will see that yours is nothing close. https://www.whalercentral.com/downloa...owstart=15 Without more evidence, I would say it was a Nauset. Nothing wrong with a Nauset. https://www.whalercentral.com/userpho...lbum_id=17 To verify the year, let us know with the Stencil number. https://www.whalercentral.com/viewpag...age_id=180

The two rear boards are suspicious in that they appear to be same vintage as rest of wood work & have holes drilled in two locations along length as if they were attached to something & notches in each end. robsonresearch attached the following image: [113.03Kb]

Site Owner Personal Page Personal Album Photo Albums Project Albums Posts: 11431 Comments: 452 Joined: 03/18/05	30737 would make it a 1962 16' model. https://www.whalercentral.com/viewpag...age_id=179 Have you looked at the Eastport drawing I showed you above? The seat has 3 pieces of wood and the back has 1 piece so what you have is not original to your boat. You apparently have a 1962 Nauset 16' I can add you to this list if you are interested. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...cle_id=102 The only way you can verify what my research tells us, is call Boston Whaler and give them your stencil number and they most likely will be able to tell you what the model it was when it was shipped from the factory and the date. They obviously cannot tell us what model it is now because too many years and too many people change the original interior layout. Otherwise, I stand by my factual research. 1962 Nauset 16' Thanks for letting us know the Stencil number and why it was in the Bow Locker according to the link I gave you above. Enjoy that well preserved Whaler.

Member Posts: 6 Comments: 0 Joined: 07/06/20	Yeah it is definitely not a 1964 Currituck. And agree, most likely a Nauset. I posted the pic of the boards in case some one had seen similar before. There was definitely some intent there as they aren’t just boards cut to the proper length. Our plans are to enjoy it this season & then restore & probably make it a modified Sakonnet. Stern seats with a back would be nice, as would the RPS. I’ll contact BW tomorrow & see what info they have on the stencil number.

There is no information/ Modell plate. It was already modified when i bought it and i also restored the whole boat and modified it as well a bit. It is 13 foot long and has no smirk. Enclosed you can find a picture how it looks right now. I can also post more pictures from details if necessary. Would be great if someone has an idea what kind of 13 Modell it is and maybe in which year it was build. Best Michael Sonic2904 attached the following image: [161.14Kb]

Many models use the same hull but have a different interior layout. If the interior has been altered by an owner, it is given the name "custom". There are many personal features so your model is: 13' Custom. You can see photos of other 13' owners here: https://www.whalercentral.com/viewpag...page_id=65 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

Member Personal Page Posts: 8 Comments: 0 Joined: 11/27/20	Hello to everybody in WhalerCentral, I'm Emanuele a Boston Whaler owner from Sicily. Thanks to my father's love for Boston Whaler boats and for fishing we own a 2007 305 Conquest and a 1983 15 Sport/Striper. Probably we'll buy a 25 Outrage soon, because we think it could be a perfect boat for our necessities. Do you have any hint for 25 models ? What hull year could be better to buy and what about a more recent 25 Guardian? For the 1984 15" , we would like to understand what model could be exactly. We bought in 1992 and it was like abbandoned for many years, so we think it hasn't been modified. Looks like a Sport with a fiberglass console on the side like in a Striper. I already posted a photo. Can you help me? 1990 25' Outrage

Edit: I now see the photo you submitted below. Looks like a Sport with a Striper console just like you figured. I guess it would be considered a "Custom" model now. I have added you to this list. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...cle_id=109 Looks nice. Enjoy. Joe Kriz attached the following image: [175.33Kb] Edited by Joe Kriz on 11/28/20 - 3:20 PM

Member Personal Page Posts: 8 Comments: 0 Joined: 11/27/20	Thank you Joe! I will post other pics of the boat. Everything looks to be original from the factory, we didn't add anything else, I wonder if the fiberglass console could be an optional of the sport model.

Member Personal Page Posts: 5 Comments: 0 Joined: 01/04/21	Following the thread on this I have a 1974 Outrage 21' Custom as it came with a factory cabin. I've been searching for info on similar boats but couldn't find anything quite like what I have. It's a great design in my opinion as I do mostly Nor Cal ocean fishing and it's a very stable fishing platform. JBfish attached the following image: [36.59Kb]

Site Owner Personal Page Personal Album Photo Albums Project Albums Posts: 11431 Comments: 452 Joined: 03/18/05	I am just curious as why you think it came from the factory this way. Are you the original owner? Any original documentation? Looks interesting for sure.

Member Personal Page Posts: 5 Comments: 0 Joined: 01/04/21	No documentations but here’s a couple photos. The plastic insert within the cabin seems to be professional / factory designed. It’s indeed an interesting Whaler. JBfish attached the following image: [30.38Kb]
