Re: 1984 SPORT 15 Re-power

I have a 1977 Sport 15 with an aftermarket center console. A SUZUKI 60-HP engine [provides good performance when the boat has a] full load. The 60-HP engine can accelerate the 1977 SPORT 15 unto hydroplane without any concern. [An unspecified boat speed at] cruise [is] easy [to obtain]. A Yamaha 70-...

Re: Aftermarket Swing Back Seat for Modified SPORT 15

A bit delayed in posting the picture. Many thanks for the suggestions. The Wise-brand seat was a perfect addition to my SPORT 15.

Re: Generic Trailerable Cover for Katama 16

Nathan, I have a 1977 SPORT 15 with an aftermarket center console, so finding a suitable reasonably priced cover was a challenge. I finally ordered a cover from SealSkinCovers for under $300. It is a "made for my boat" cover that fits perfectly. I have been quite happy with the performance...

Re: 1969 CURRITUCK 16 Engine Mounting

I have a 1977 SPORT 15, and I had a similar challenge when replacing my 1992 Johnson 48 with a 2022 Suzuki 50. I ended up using a 3/4-inch-thick, 4-inch-wide. 10-inch long aluminum plate. From the back of the plate holes were countersunk for bolts to accept the new pattern on the lower mounting hole...

I scraped off old decals on my 1977 Sport 15 with plastic razor blade scrappers; they worked well.

1977 Sport 15

I am reviving a 1977 Sport 15 and am trying to determine exactly where the Whaler decals should go. I have looked at several pictures, but was curious if there are exact measurements as to the original location?
