We are looking for these Stencil Numbers on the Hull.
-------------------
3B0353
3B0354
3B0355
3B0356
3B0357 -----> We are looking for these 11 Stencil numbers.
3B0358
3B0359
3B0360
3B0361
3B0362
3B0363
------------------
From your HIN of BWCB5951M76A, I do not believe that your boat has those Stencil numbers.

Thanks for checking anyway.

Joe, since they are in order from 353 to 363 do you think that maybe they were just skipped by accident or maybe on purpose as in experimental smirked hulls? Has anyone contacted Whaler with one to see where it went to what dealer?
I had a smirked 1976 but I sold that before this site was started. Might have been one but I will never know. If anyone bought a 1976 Montauk with a 1985 115 Johnson and a teal bimini in Ellenton, FL around 1999 or 2000, let me know.

Anything is possible Nick.
Just hoping someone will have one of those Stencil numbers for more info.
The last Smikless hull so far was 3B0352
The first Smriked hull so far was 3B0364
So we know that somewhere in those 10 hulls is when they changed over from Smirkless to Smirk hull.
In the big scheme of things, that isn't too far from knowing when the change occurred but it would be nice to narrow it down further.
Let's keep our eye out.

The first smirked hull that I have seen was stencil 3B0317. See my post #56 dated 07/16/2019. I have a photograph of the stencil and boat as proof.

Hi Weatherly,
The link you show from a Craigs list is no longer available in your post #56
https://www.whalercentral.com/forum/v...ost_158713
Not sure I would trust any photos on Craigs list as years ago someone was selling a 1978 Montauk that had photos of my prior Montauk on the ad.
Not that I don't trust or believe you. If it was on Craigs list, then they could have used a photo of "a" Stencil and another photo of one with a Smirk etc.
If you personally took the photos then that would be different.
I am open for wherever the facts lead us.
I did not take these photos but our member, ChelseaFish posted these on their personal page and the last smirkless that I have ever seen if the photos are true.

Hi Joe:
The information I gathered on the 1976 Boston Whaler Montauk 17 smirked hull, Stencil number 3B0317, did not originate from the craigslist ad.
I obtained detailed information about the boat directly from the owner. I have more than 2 pages of notes about the boat, its history, condition and photographs.
This boat - 3B0317 - is one of the very first Montauk 17 smirked hulls manufactured at Rockland, MA.
The boat left the factory on 10-14-1975 and was shipped to a dealer in NY.
The HIN is BWCB6031M76C
I confirmed all of this information about Stencil 3B0317 with Boston Whaler, Inc.
Regards,
Weatherly

Adding to this old thread. Finally wrote down my stencil number on my 16’7. 3A8514. It should be a 1974 Montauk. Thanks.
