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.

You can create a Custom model or restore it to a factory interior that you prefer. http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...allery.php It appears to be a 16 model hull. http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...post_84902 Let us know what you find.

I cross referenced to the links you provided but none are matching up. https://www.dropbox.com/s/crhi5giy3mo...3.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/c6f3w5m46h4...0.jpg?dl=0 My main goals here are to do the following: 1. Get a title somehow... LOL 2. Find out what size engine i can fit on her by determining the weight i can put on the transom etc.. 3. Find a center steering console 4. Go Crabbing here in the upper Chesapeake Bay (Middle River area).

One has a 70hp Yamaha and one has a 90hp Yamaha. 70hp is plenty, the 90hp really flies. In the Chesapeake it is a pretty bouncey ride in chop and boat wakes. Very safe and stable though. Will be great for crabbing. I would guess the DNR would be the place to start for a title.

Not sure what you mean by the 3B is not listed on this site. Many of the Classic models have the 3B Stencil Number listed here: http://www.whalercentral.com/viewpage...age_id=172 and here: http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=17
