Whaler Hull Identification

I know it is a late 1970 model '16 foot, but after new paint, console, etc., it is hard to tell exactly what model it is. By looking at the floor, I am pretty sure the original console was in the center as it is now. Let me know if you have any idea. Thanks

Obviously, it really doesn't matter at this point. You have an aftermarket console and aftermarket pilot seat so basically you now have a "Custom" model. Anything that isn't an original interior layout is a custom model. According to your stencil number, this boat is a 1970 16 model. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=61 Here are the most common center console 16 models in order. 1. Nauset 16 2. Eastport 16 3. Sakonnet 16 Look through the Whaler Model Specification link on the left sidebar to view photos of the above models. All these models use the same basic console. The Eastport has a stern seat and the Sakonnet has a forward platform and Reversible Pilot Seat. The Reversible Pilot Seat was optional in the other models. Edited by Joe Kriz on 04/20/10 - 3:15 PM
