I have acquired an 1972 BW Squall, very good condition. All there but tiller and rudder. I would appreciate any assistance toward finding a replacement. Received from Chuck Bennett pages of Squall info.

Also; there is no HIN stamped into the transom, yet a brass HIN plate attached to the outside upper right corner of transom.

Also just joined this forum today 7/25/14.

Welcome aboard WhalerCentral.

For clarification, what is the HIN number?

HIN did not start until late 1972 and I have never seen a brass one.

Would be nice to know the HIN and the Stencil number for the records.

Any photos of your plate?

It should be a relatively simple matter to fabricate a replacement rudder and tiller. And, based on what I've seen in photos, you should be able to improve on the original quite a bit (I would guess BW had never heard of the NACA foils.)

Thanks for the replies.

The brass plate reads: MDZ37596D772.
Chuck Bennett said my boat's interior may have been repainted.

And yes JRP I have other small tiller/rudders that will work if I attached the appropriate hardware to the stern. I was hoping to find an original or might fabricate a duplicate simply in the interest of keeping it as close to original as possible.

That MDZ number is something made up from the state of Maryland.

It is not a Boston Whaler number and someone put it on a brass plate which Whaler never had.

I am guessing that this Squall was made prior to HIN numbers so you will not know what you have unless you find the Stencil number.

No matter, it is what it is and it is basically unknown for now.

Yup. It is what it is and in the grand scheme of things, its teeny weenie. Main thing is that its a nice little dinghy and I am looking forward to messing 'round with it. Thanks for your feedback, Joe.
