Scrimshaw, I just saw your question on my personal page. Yes, my Florida registration says 72 but the hull number is 00888. I don't think they started making the "smooth side" until the 73 model. I also remember someone, I think Joe, indicating that the hull number indicated the month built and BW started their year in August. This hull number makes me think that the boat is a 73. Also, I e-mailed BW and the reply indicated that my boat was picked up at the factory in September 1973 but didn't give the year of the boat.
Any thoughts from the experts?
Thanks, Ron

Oh, I forgot to say that the boat restoration is almost finished and it looks very good. Hopefully, I will post pictures in a week or two.

I own hull #s 00250 and # 00283, 00250 was shipped from Whaler in March of 1971, You may have a 72 model as the console appears to be that of a ribbed version that was last produced in 1972.
