"Currituck, which featured a large side console and two thwart seats. The wooden components were made from mahogany and varnished. The console extended almost the full width of the boat and placed the wheel on the center line. Mechanical steering was standard"

Bernie, I think that there would be a lot of people interested in pictures and measurements of an original Currituck console and seats.

You can see the pics I took of my Currituck on my personal page. I to will be at the boat this weekend and could possibly take some measurements. Maybe between the three of us (I am assuming that Fishmore still has the console pieces from his rehab???), we could come up with a consolidated plan.

I have a couple of original pieces in my storage unit but most of it was not original. I ended up swapping to a Montauk interior. I still like the look of the Currituck though and I have often thought of making a new interior and storing it to save for the right boat as I have a bunch of mahogany around. The Currituck is a great layout for the lakes in my opinion.

It Looks straight foreward and easier to work on than other consoles, there's lots of real estate on that console for guages too.

It appears that Nautical Lumber is now offering the Currituck 16/17 Sport interior. Seems like a great deal, and priced so that it's not worth making your own.

If anyone is still interested I have posted some measurements of our Currituck console on my personal page. Let me know if you have any questions, or if something isn’t clear – I put this together rather quickly, as you can probably tell by my wonderful “artwork”.

Just for reference.
The Currituck 16 was made until 1975 which was the last year of the smirkless 16 hulls.
The Currituck 16 name was changed to Sport 17 for the 1976 model year and has the same style of wood interior as its predecessor. The 1976 models also had the new Smirked hulls.
So, basically the Currituck and the Sport are the same models with the exception of the Smirkless versus Smirked hull which also had a change in the bow locker cover.
Currituck 16, up to and including 1975
Sport 17, 1976 and later

No problem. If anyone has any questions or something is unclear, please let me know. I would like to make a more “mechanical” (type) drawing of the console, but tomorrow is opening day of the spring trophy striped bass season on the Chesapeake, so no promises when…
Joe,
I can’t seem to locate a picture of the 17 Sport. I would like to compare the consoles. I did find the 17 SS - http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...hoto_id=84 and its console is very reminiscent of the Currituck, and that this configuration returned (with a smaller console) as a 17 Standard - http://web.archive.org/web/2000022910...ard17.html

Yes, the newer 17' Standard is a little different.
Here is a members 1976 Sport 17' in his personal page.
http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...r_id=11876
I'm trying to get someone to submit a photo of their Sport 17' for the Whaler Model Specification section but no one has yet.
The photos in the personal page section are too small as submitted photos should be 640x480 minimum on up to 960x720.
