Tom W Clark	posted 09-23-2012 09:56 PM ET (US)             The exterior of the hull is unchanged but the interior mold was modified to produce a wider bow locker and a deeper splashwell. Be warned: Whaler had multiple molds in production back then and they used the new and the old side by side for a period so you will not find a distinct date when the splashwell got deeper or the bow locker got wider.
