Re: Custom 16-footer Ready-made Boat Cover

The Carver cover for the pre-2002 17's without bow rail should accommodate the stern side rails. Stern navigation light out of the socket as well. The drop down option when ordering looks like this one: BOSTON WHALER 17 MONTAUK O/B W/O BOW RAIL (THRU-02) That is what I bought and installed on my 197...

Re: Aluminum Reversible Pilot Seat Z-legs on c.1972 COHASSET II

Thank you Jim and your bashful reader. This solves a curiosity about the aluminum z legs on my former Cohasett II.

Re: Identify Year of Production from Stencil Number

Hey Jim— the cockpit gel was the off white. I am not aware of any blue Cohasset hull interiors. It’s a great boat. I would rather have a Cohasset than any other 16/17 footer that predates the Montauk 170 in the 2000s (apologies to fans of the smirk!).

Re: Identify Year of Production from Stencil Number

I am a former owner of a 1972 Cohasset II with hull stencil 3A5822. According to Boston Whaler archives, it left Rockland, Mass plant on April 27, 1972. Since your boat's hull stencil is sequentially before that, I would speculate you have a 1972 model and it would not require a full HIN to register.

Re: SAKONNET 16 Wiring for Navigation Lighting

The spot [illustrated above] is where the wiring to the combined sidelight lamp at the bow is laid inside the hull and is connected to a two-pole terminal block. The terminal block took power from surface wiring and connected the stern light. You want something watertight there. At this boat age mos...
