I have been given an old, old whaler and I have no idea what it is. We have been told it is 17' and built in the late 60's or very early 70's. the boat has been out of the water for 8 years.
I put some photos on my personal page that I hope you can see.
Any help would be nice.

You will need to look for the Stencil number on the inside of the transom below the engine or in the bow locker to determine the year.

Looks to be a 16'/17' hull with a later Montauk/Outrage console from 1973 to 1976.

All you need is a Reversible Pilot Seat, or something similar and you would have a great boat.
