Just picked up a 17' whaler... HIN is listed as 3971600BWC73 on the title, much different than all that i'm seeing here, in the way that the "BWC" is not preceding the rest, but towards the end, prior to the 73..which i believe is the model year.. not sure if its a montauk, or what.. Can somebody help me with identifying this old beauty?

Jimmy, no that is not correct. There is something wrong with your HIN.
You cannot go by the title as many times they are not correct.
What is your stencil number?
You can find out what model you have in our Whaler Models and Specifications section.
Look at all the 16' models here:

Here are HIN numbers that are on the boat, not titles.
