Ya'll OLD WHALER guys will love this...super interesting stuff.
When i bought my 1970 16 whaler the prior owner handed me a folder that came with it....in it is receipts, original pics, and stuff dating back to
and including the original invoice [it was ordered as a bare hull...n set up at that shop w owner preferred factory goodies-or so it appears]
NOW FOR THE COOL PART YOU GUYS WILL DIG!!
ALSO in the folder is a myriad of OLD ORIGINAL factory engineering dept exploded drawings showing the bare hull assembly METHOD,INSTRUCTIONS ETC...for some of the items that were aparently installed originally.
For those restoring... a gold mine!
My hull is now set up all with modern stuff but for many who are going original,they might need this info from way back-i'd assume its quite rare and haven't seen anything like them here. Old model owners might like to have this offered here as a download.
some various Info for 13 and 16, 17....including minot,katama,nauset,eastport,sakonnet ,currituck,etc....
I would love to get this stuff posted for alls enjoyment or help but some of these fold out like house plans and too big to scan-
i guess i could take dig pics then post...whoever here might be interested in helping get this on this site or seeing this stuff, let me know.
