Everything Boston Whaler says: The 15′ hull was the first released in 1976 along with the newly resigned 16’7″ hull (named the 17). Both of these hulls featured the new Dougherty bow smirk that was already on the 13, 19 and 21. With the introduction of this 15, Whaler decided to rename the newly updated 16’7″ hull as a 17 (was called a 16 prior) to give a broader perceived separation between these two hulls. –
Most don’t realize that in 1976 the 15 featured a 75hp rating. This was the ONLY year gave this hull that rating. It was later downgraded to 70hp in 1977. And anyone who has run a 15 with that much HP or more knows, it’s damn fast hull. –
This great looking 15 belongs to @hayden_barspin –

Jeff, can you credit your wealth of whaler knowledge & history, to any one particular source? If you can, I would love to check it out & begin teaching myself! ?? Haha

@tysilliman I learned more from one guy than anyone else. Tom W Clark. Also, Larry Goltz is another huge wealth of knowledge for me. Beyond that, just reading catalogs for fun, and reading and participating with Continuouswave (CW) for well over a Decade. I was part of CW in it’s prime. Jimh who runs CW is someone I know and boat with. I helped to start WhalerCentral, but Joe Kriz soured that site for me and others. So Decided to start EverythingBoston Whaler….

@tysilliman if you don’t have Tom W Clark’s 1958-2006 catalog set, you should get it. Tons to learn in there.
