Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos

Posted by pcdoc on 09/17/08 - 6:41 PM

I just purchased a 13' Boston Whaler that has a console on the port side that highly resembles other 13's that are similar to the Sport photos on this site. I have no clue what year it is and I am really curious as to what the manufacture date is.

There is not a HIN number plate anywhere on the boat that starts with BWC. There is a plate on the back of the outer side of the transom port side that says it is an OHIO DNR HIN number.

Is there a way to trace this to determine the year of the hulls manufactured date? All I can say the hull is identical to Erik's 1974 13' project:

PS. Pics coming soon.

Thanks in advance.

There is not way to trace anything without the hulls real HIN# or the stencil number on the hull.

Photos of the boat can go a long way to helping to you get more info about the boat. Photos of the front quarter view, rear quarter view, detailed views of the transom and splashwell, and a good shot of the cockpit will provide members with the needed info to point you in the right direction.
