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.

Maybe asking Chuck Bennett at Whaler would give us a little more info. 1958 - ???? 1959 - ???? 1960 - ???? Edited by Joe Kriz on 01/12/10 - 3:48 PM

They do not have boat-by-boat records from back then. Given that your Stenciled Number is 1357 out of 4400 boats made during that period, I would estimate yours was made in 1959.

It is possibly a 1958 but most likely a 1959. It seems there is no way to tell for sure. Edited by Tom W Clark on 01/14/10 - 8:48 AM
