Many photos can be found of "Custom" models in the members personal page section.
Look under "Custom 16" models.

At this point, we really have no idea what year this is without a Stencil number.
Mid 1964 and before, the stencil number was located in the bow locker. After that, it was in the splashwell.

What is shown in your photos is a "Bare Hull". No model at all because there is no interior.
See the Frequently Asked Questions on "What Model do I have?"

Assuming mine is a 1968 as the title says, approximately where in the splashwell would the stencil be and if i were to sand it lightly wouldn't it just sand the stenciling away at the same time? I'm just curious what the boat was originally and would like to find out before i make decisions on which way to go with it.
