Author	Topic:   15' Classic wood
Russ 13	posted 03-09-2011 01:12 AM ET (US)         I am looking to purchase a 15'Sport. In the "info" section it is stated that the models prior to # 5A0857 only had a small strip of wood under the deck. And models after that had more wood under the deck. As more wood is good, my question is: In what year was this change made on the 15's?? Thanks, Russ

Russ 13	posted 03-09-2011 11:54 AM ET (US)             Ahh yes, as that is my intent. I don't like the low side console....as my back is bent. So to install a nice center console, having backing under the deck is important, "wood is good". Does anyone know what year,or month & Year the amount of structure under the deck of the 15' Classic hull changed?? Thanks, Russ

Russ 13	posted 03-09-2011 02:10 PM ET (US)             Yes, it helps to know the 1983 & newer 15's have the larger Wood. Thanks, Russ
