It sounds to me like your boat has a custom canvas setup. Most of the full cabin models used a hardtop, which required custom canvas. According to what literature I have, Mills/Whaler only offered the Flying Top set (top and windshield) and Weather Curtain Set, which included two side curtains and a 3 piece drop curtain. These items were for a boat with no hardtop. Nothing appears to completely enclose the cockpit back to the transom.

The page I have shows Bob Dougherty's Full Cabin full transom inboard powered boat, named "Whaler One", and showing this canvas. it's a nice looking setup. If you want a copy, I can email it to you.

As far as I know, Whaler never offered any drawing on the actual design and construction of the actual canvas pieces, as that was the property of Mills. The only canvas related drawings available to the customer were the installation-to-boat drawings showing fitting placements and lashing instructions.
