For those that aren't aware, 1972 was a transition year for interior hull colors in 16' models and also adding an HIN in November of 1972. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...icle_id=61 Let us know if you have an earlier 16' model with the Desert Tan interior. Mostly - Bass Boat, Cohasset, Tashmoo

HIN did not start until November of 1972 and these should have been as a 1973 year model as shown in post#1. So, no 13' Blue interiors that I am aware of from 11-1-1972 to 12-31-1972 as a 1973 year model which also had an HIN. 2A9394 is the last blue interior we show but does not list the manufacturer date, only the year model of 1972 and no HIN. We would need to verify the date the boat was shipped out and a photo of the original interior to know for sure. 8-1-1972 to 10-31-1972 as these did NOT have an HIN, only the Stencil. Back to 16' Hulls. Who has the earliest Desert Tan 16' model?
