Surely there must be some information when they introduced to new hull design and maybe what the first stencil number was. It would be nice to know if they are rare or very common. You know like they do cars, limited production model. Since I've had mine, i noticed that a lot of then have had the transom modified to 20". Furthermore, when they switched to 20" transoms did they make any blue interior hulls?

However, 2A6619, 2A6648 seems to be mingled in there among others for 1971 Smirkless hulls that are also shown. The last Smirkless we show is 2A7124 2A5777 is one of the first Smirk hull that we show in 1971. 2A7480 is the first 1972 hull and the last listed is 2A9397 which would equal (9397-7480) = 1917 smirked hulls for 1972 Probably a lot more than that in reality.

The guy that sold me my 1971 included a lot of Whaler brochures and price sheets for that year. Is that something that you guys may be interested in? There is a 1971 post card introducing the Sourpuss being pulled by a Wagoneer. i also have a rail instalation guild for a Sourpuss.
