1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

Be sure to prep as the instructions show. I sold that boat and will be applying the Keelguard to my 150 Sport in the spring when it warms up. The 130 had a white guard but when the black bottom paint abraded from the sand, the white showed through, so the 150 guard is black.
