We have noticed that many people do not list their correct model of their boat in the boat info section which is located in their profile.
This sometimes can be confusing for new members because they may be comparing them to the newer models which have 130 Sport, 170 Montauk, etc....
The older Classic models are different.

Before putting your boat info in your profile, check this Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) for the correct model name of your Whaler.

For those of you that can't identify your model due to customization or complete removal of original interior, then you have what we call a "Custom" model.
Example:
1962 Custom 13'
1971 Custom 16'
1978 Custom 17'

Even though you may have a Classic 16' 7" model, 1975 and earlier are called 16' models and 1976 and later are called 17' models.
Again, both the above models are the exact same length, 16 feet 7 inches but have different model names.

Hope this helps everyone understand a little more about model numbers and which model they actually have.
