It is probably better just to show one active link so everyone can see all the photos by clicking on the link. Like this.

You have a 16/17 foot hull with aftermarket items. Nothing is original except the hull.

thanks, didn't know how to post link like that, but any idea on how to restore, and if I do restore originally will it be worth my time (financially)?

No. Do it for love, or don't do it.

The inside area of the transom looks all wrong - I have never seen a Whaler look like that. Someone either severly modified that transom area or its a knock off. Not really sure. Maybe an expert will chime in.
