Based on the information you have provided, Joe, I would have to state that the 15 footer I purchased last week is a highly specialized custom. A previous owner removed the interior and fitted it with a one piece superstructure consisting of aluminum gunnel and interior braces attached to an overhead canopy that locate a centralized welded aluminum console. Even the stern lifting eyes were removed. I suspect they ran nets with sideboards and used the Whaler for shrimping, crayfish harvesting, or crabbing. I am undecided as to what I will do with it as yet other than install my old Mercury 504 motor on it. Whatever I do, it is nice to have a Whaler again.
