Whaler model and size, year?

[Nicholson58]

I need help identifying this Whaler. Recently inherited in Florida, I’m in Michigan. Will probably try to sell it. I’m guessing 30 hp

Looks like a 15 foot to me

[Nicholson58]

Looking for others of its kind I found a 1995 17 foot Outrage with very similar hull lines. Still guessing

[Spot]

Can someone get you a picture of the transom tag / hull identification number?
What does the state of Florida registration think it is?

13’ super sport model.

No way that's a 16...

A classic boat, and a really good one for what it was made to do.

I also think it's a 13'. The 15' has a deeper 'V'. The 17' has a center console (and just looks bigger). You say it's a 30hp? That also suggests 13'. They did make a handful of 14' boats but they are almost twice the weight of the 13' models and generally run with 50-70hp motors.

I don't think it's a supersport. The supersport has a deeper 'V' and also a kind of convex sheer. This one is closer to a Montauk.

The hull identification number will have that information. If you can provide that the forum can confirm. Example HIN – ABC12345B612. https://www.continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/FAQ/

ABC – Manufacturer Identification Code (MIC)

12345 – Manufacturer’s Serial Number

B6 – Manufacture date where the first digit represents the month and the second digit represent the last digit of the year.

A=Jan, B=Feb, C=Mar, D=Apr, E=May, F=Jun, G=Jul, H=Aug, I-Sep, J=Oct, K=Nov, L=Dec

12 – Last 2 digits of the model year

my vote late 70s or early 80s 13.

Got a 78 model sitting in my garage.

13-14. Late 70sor 80s. Has a glass side console up to mid 70s they had a wooden console!!

[RiverRat37]

Can't one lookup the registration number on the bow? FL7272GD. That would tell the length and likely the HP.

You will need the title to sell it. Soo just look at that.

[Nicholson58]

Thanks. All good advice and I know the paper procedure, HIN, etc. The current problem is that the estate came to us intestate and is mired in the system. Presently we are trying to establish an accounting value of many facets of the estate. Unfortunately, the photographer didn’t record the critical data. Additionally, the state of Florida is not helpful or easy in spilling data from the FL # on the boat. I was just hoping some knowledgeable CF member could easily identify it. It’s just going to take a while. I’ve looked at hundreds of on line images of the 13 & 15 Whalers. Close but no cigar.

[Frankly]

The 13 ft Whaler is rated for 40 HP max (with steering). I am suspecting that the interior seats/ console are factory mahagony painted to match (somebody tired of the varnish brush).

Good looking rig anyway.
