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.

Looks nice and has the original wood center cap.
