Ed,
You answered your own question.
It certainly looks like a Sport
That is definitely a Sport model in your photo link.
It also has the optional Side Rails for the Sport model.
Whether it has optional side rails or not, it is still a Sport model.
The optional side rails will only fit a Sport model.
The rails for a Sourpuss are completely different and would also include cushions and seat backrest. Yours is NOT a Sourpuss model.
Regardless of what model this might have been when it left the factory, it is a Sport model now with optional Sport side rails.
I can't understand how Whaler could have told you this was 3 models in one.
Sourpuss/Sport/Special
That would be like a Corvette/Impala/Camaro
They list 3 models in 1971 in the catalog.
1. Standard 13' (tiller model)
2. Sport 13' (console and wheel steering)
3. Trophy 13' (stick steering)
(not in the 1971 catalog but shows up later is the first production run of the "Sourpuss" model. Sourpuss wrap around side rail system included. Bow rail optional as was the Sport model.

I also gave you more information on why you do NOT have a Sourpuss model in your other thread.

Below are the prices for the 3 models shown in the 1971 catalog.
