1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

See this about Stencil Numbers for Whalers prior to November of 1972. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=61 And this: http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...cle_id=101 Do you have any photos of this number?

Maybe we need photos of the boat to verify it is actually a Boston Whaler. Let us know.
