I took the task on and have been repiring it with my son. The Vin # is BWCN 1698 A191 and its rated at 20hp. It seems the 13' whalers are all rated at 40hp. The Boat is 13' 6" and is rated for 6 people or 900 pounds. Can anyone tell me what year or model this whaler is? Thanks, Andrew

If you have the Comercial Division version of the 13 it was called 'Utility' as a model name. The boat was rated for a minimum of 10HP and a max of 40HP in 1991. Model is depends on the interior, did yours have any when you got it? The one shown in the commerical division had bench seats and a fiberglass console.
