I know that I have seen it posted many times before, but I cannot find it now. How can I determine the origin information of my Whaler by means of the Stenciled numbers? My numbers on my Sport are 5A3943

Thanks Casco. I was thinking that there was someone on this site or maybe someone with BW that could give original info as to where and when the boat was first delivered.

:( Maybe I'm wrong, but I could have sworn that I have seen a post here that gave either a site or an email address that would give you when and where your Whaler was first placed into service by sending them the numbers :(

I believe Chuck Benett at Boston Whaler can give you some brief history on your boat based on the numbers. 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.

Just heard back from Chuck Bennett with Whaler and he gave me the birth date and delivery destination of my Whaler. 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! :D
