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.

I do not know his email address but am sure someone can help you with that. Chuck has helped me with a number of questions, and done so very promptly. Good luck.

Seems she was born in Rockford, Ma and her birthday was 3/21/79. If anyone wants to give her a birthday present for this year, let me know as I have a list that she gave me! Tom 1979 Sport 15'
