Why not just provide the URL of the craigslist ad?

In 1978 the Montauk would have had a five spoke Destroyer style wheel, 15"-16" in diameter with 20-25 degrees of dish. Cross section of the rim was slightly elliptical and the wheel had a teak center cap.
I believe a company known as Atlantic was the vendor Whaler used back then but I can find no trace of them now.

Where in Pennsylvania are you located? I have a destroyer wheel I might be willing to let go of.

Schmitt sells a 5 and 6 spoke destroyer wheel 15.5" I believe. They also have different diameters.
Their website is Schmittongaromarine.com

Here is a photo of the original Whaler 5-spoke wheel, and teak center cap, that came on my 1979 Montauk. The 1978 wheel and console would have been identical.

There is one on Ebay now for 60 bucks.
Looks nice and has the original wood center cap.
