If it doesn't have a console in it now, how do you know what model it is or was? Here is the Katama 16 http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=29 Here is a Nauset 16 model with the wood console http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=17 All model information can be found on the left sidebar under "Whaler Model and Specs" link. If you don't have a console, then you can make several different models from the hull you have by just adding the appropriate console. Here is a Montauk fiberglass consoles. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=58

Contact one of the sponsors on here who can provide an original style wooden console and pilot seat. Bringing an old hull back to original, pays mega dividends in your Karma. : ) Edited by spuds on 07/15/13 - 7:07 AM 1985 Outrage 18

Please be more specific on what you have. Do you have a Katama? Or do you have a console for some kind of model? We still have no idea what model he has if he doesn't have a console.

I shipped a pair of very large Altec "Voice of the Theater" audio speakers a while back with Forward Air. Strapped them on a pallet very well wrapped and it was ridiculously cheap if you bring them to their terminal on your end and the receiver picks them up on his end. I think it goes more by weight than by size and a console should not weigh all that heavy.
