Hey , been a while....but still looking and may get lucky today. I'm going to look at a 1976 Newport. Add says it needs some tlc, and no trailer. Anything to watch out for, look at that is specific to Newports? Remember I'm still the new guy. Where can I fing the HIN and other important numbers? This could be one of the boats you're searching for to add to the list? Thanks.

UPDATE: I drove as quickly as I could to see this Whaler but another guy beat my arrival by only a few minutes and after listening to the motor turn over, bought it. I made a counter offer before there was any money exchanged to the owner that was higher, just to make things "interesting" which I think annoyed him, but of course the owner said he had to accomodate the gentleman who was there ahead of me. I thanked the old and congratulated the new owner, shook hands with everyone, and left with no boat.....again. Who knows the new owner may join this site. I wish him well. The Newport was exactly as described. I would have definately made it mine.
BUT.......I have my eye one another one......a member here. We'll see.

Didn't really get a good look as the old and new owners were in the rear of the boat playing around with the motor. The one brief glimpse I had was 3B0154 I think.

If the hull is smirkless, you are looking at a 1975 hull. This was the first year of production on the Newport model and built on smirkless hulls in White rather than Desert Tan.
For Newport seekers, check the front bucket seats as the frames are tender to begin with and typically take a beating with little protection.
Also, check the side decks and storage compartments as some knuckle-headed fool may have used one for a boarding step and damaged the inner panels and trim.
Good Hunting!!!

No, some smirkless 16'-7" hulls are 1976 models.
All small Whalers, including the Newport, built before 1984 were Outrage Grey (really just an off-white) on the outside and Desert Tan on the inside. Starting in 1984 all were Desert Tan on both the inside and outside.

Dan, go back to post one in this thread and click on the photos Joe highlighted. It is pretty simple to distinguish smirk from smirkless!

Joe, Glad you are trying to run this down. I was wondering if you have the info on when the 13 went from smirkless to smirked. Additionally we just found a blue interior smirked hull with a fifteen inch transom and I'm trying to find out how many 15" transoms with an engine well were made with blue interiors. We think we have a rare find. Can you help us? You can see some pics that I posted on my page.

You bet. We have that info in the "Frequently Asked Questions" link on the left sidebar.
Still looking for those 11 missing Stencil numbers for 16/17' hulls.
Please keep this thread on track.
Thanks....

I have a 1970 regular front stencil 3A1614. I recently bought my neighbors old 16 and your site has been very helpful in my refurb.
