1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

A question that I have is, is it possible to tell the year and length of a Whaler by it's Hin? I am looking at an on-line auction and these details (most important) aren't listed. Your help is truly appreciated. Thanks.

See this info located on our site in the articles section: http://www.whalercentral.com/readarti...icle_id=61 You can tell the length from the Stencil number if you have that information. We also have this information on our site in the articles section: http://www.whalercentral.com/readarti...icle_id=22
