Jeffrey,
The believe hulls for the 22' Walk-Through and the early Revenges are the same (if not identical.....pretty dang close). At some point Whaler raised the transom height with some other small modifications. The cuddy's are drastically different. The Walk-Through edition has a wider cabin, goes to the edge of the hull, a cool looking slide-able ladder, and rails on top of the cuddy to deploy the anchor. The 1979 version has the narrow cabin. The outer edge of the cabin leaves a narrow 6" +- platform that you can access the bow. My favorite customizing on mine was severing the bow rail where it became 17" above that platform outside the cuddy (at a tee fitting) sliding in a stainless "hot dog" and keeping that height intact to the start of the outer cuddy wall. Instead of returning it to the cabins side, it turned down and mounted on the outer edge of the gunnel top. I eliminated the factory original return of the rail to the side of the cuddy. The rail is directly above the rubber bumper. Leaves me a narrow path to the bow with rail protection.
