Yup... that is the whaler I saw on Ebay. It looks to be in good shape from your pics. With a new windscreen it would have been probably stock!

As for the seats, I am kind of curious why the seats on my console look exactly like the ones I found on another console. The console I purchased was from an old blue blood here in my town. I am sure he purchased it new. If the seats are aftermarket they must have been very common for another whaler owner to have purchased them also.

I wonder how many years they made this console? Could the seats have been updated towards the end of its production years? I guess I am hoping that they are original in the end ;) Either way I am happy with the console purchase... now to save up for the windscreen

BTW Joe... I think your boat looks great! My 16' was a project started one year ago. I purchased the hull and rails alone... nothing else for $750. I am adding the hardware now, just purchased the console (less the seat.. working on him for that alos!), Teleflex steering, Evinrude 70, deciding on the controls and need to install the rubrail. When it is done I will certainly post a final pic. One thing mine has that yours doesnt show in your pic are the stress cracks :(. It wont be perfect at first but it will be a lot of fun!
