With the stencil number Chuck can look up your hull and tell you how it left the factory, not what it currently is. My 13 footer left the factory as a sport model in 1971, when I finish the gelcoat and the new interior what will it be? that all depends on what what interior I use, if I put the standard sport interior, it will be a sport, if I do a modified dual console interior it will be a custom 13 footer. If I install a Super Sport interior will it be a Super Sport, nope, it will still be a custom 13 footer because there was no Boston Whaler Super Sport in 1971, that model didn't exist until 1984. The nice thing about Whalers was that you could customize them, with or without rails, with or without seats or rps or leaning post. It's really why people love Whalers because you could make the boat uniquely your own.
