Apparently this was a pretty common wheel as it is identical to the wheel on my 1987 15' Striper. 15' Striper 1987, 70 hp 2000 Johnson

Has some subtle seam cracks that resemble wood. I'll send it and you make the call. Do not go out of your way for a return favor. Something pops up for any member that you can help out, good enough for me. Garris Send mailing address to my email in member profile and I will mail Edited by gchuba on 07/03/14 - 10:33 PM

The grain was so dense and the backside had "veneer" type lines from sitting inside the wheel, through me off. Garris
