I have a 1966 16' custom. I can not figure out exactly what type of boat it is. The title says fish pierce but everyone I talk to has never heard of it. The interior of the boat looks exactly like a currituck , minus the wood. The boat was a former DNR boat.The stencil # 34747. The boat did have the Boston Whaler logo on outside many many years ago. If someone could help me figure it out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Welcome aboard WhalerCentral.

Only Boston Whaler can tell you what model the hull was wehn it left the factory.
They cannot however tell you what model it is now. So if you can't identify it from the interior it has now, then it would be a Custom model like you mention.

All 16' hulls were the same back then so only the interior defined the model.

OK. Thank you. Any reason why the title would say fish pierce.
