Would start with 3A if it is around a 1969-1974 model. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...cle_id=102 Bow differences in 16/17 models. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...cle_id=100

Boston Whaler Corporation = BWC Some HIN numbers are on an aluminum tag and other are embedded in the gel coat. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...cle_id=103

I finally found the stencil number is 30874, which puts it as one of the very early 16’s ever made, it seems. Pretty cool because it is in awesome shape from the looks of it!

What model? https://www.whalercentral.com/userpho...allery.php Or maybe a Custom model? https://www.whalercentral.com/faq.php...p?cat_id=5

From the previous owner’s picture it appears to have had a center console, but no more. It is set up in a Currituck style right now but not an exact setup. I am winterizing the boat as we speak with the intent of turning it into an Eastport-style setup.. with a reinvisioned center console. Will try my hardest to keep the period correct feel however I am not a fan of the Nauset split window look so I will have to design something that is retro looking but more stylish to my taste. I have woodworking experience and rrally looking forward to making this boat my own!
