Start trolling the sales sites for your length and model Whaler. Also look for outboards of your vintage and hp. Search far and wide. It's easy to change a VIN and register as a salvaged hull. Post a reward. Also, if you have serial numbers, look for your electronics, trailer and other equipment. It's easier to sell the parts than a whole stolen boat. When you find the guy, keep him in the basement till you get the whole boat back.
