SPORT 15 Wood Interior Dimensions

Postby dhenze78@gmail.com » Mon May 23, 2022 6:14 am

Q1: where can a diagram that shows all the interior wood dimensions for a SPORT 15 be found?

ASIDE: I have PDF drawings with dimensions for "13 Sourpuss wood parts" and "Super Sport 13 interior", but I have not seen any drawing with dimensions for the classic SPORT 15 wood.

I can see from parts list diagrams at Nauset Marine site that the seats are identical part numbers between the 13 and 15-foot boats.

The console and seat clamps however have different part numbers between 13 and 15-foot boats.

I'm not near the boat to measure. I want to get the project started. Much thanks.

Are these drawings in image files that can be sent electronically?

I interpret your reply to mean the drawings you have that show the wood interior dimension are in an electronic file. Please see my PM to you regarding your offer to send them to me.

UPDATE: forum user Offshore1 sent me via email the diagram he mentioned which would show the dimensions of the wood interior components.

The diagram which Offshore1 sent is extremely well known under the name "wood locating diagram for 15-foot hulls" which has been hosted here on continuousWave and available for downloading for about the past 20-years.

There is no need to "send" the diagram to another user if you think the diagram will he helpful. You just have to mention the URL where the diagram can be downloaded.

The direct URL to the diagram is

https://continuouswave.com/maintenance- ... haler.jpeg

This diagram is mentioned in the REFERENCE article on the 15-foot hull and a hyperlink is provided in the associated text "...a diagram showing the embedded wood denotes all the variations..." (in wood placements in the hull). However the diagram does NOT show any information about the dimensions of the wood interior components such as the seats, the risers, the hatch, or the helm station.

The diagram is also listed in the REFERENCE article list of on-line diagrams available for downloading. See

Drawings of Boston Whaler Components Available Online
https://continuouswave.com/whaler/refer ... wings.html

There appears to be two significant misunderstandings here:

  • the information being sought in this thread is related to the wooden components such as the seats, risers, and helm consoles used in the interior of the cockpit of the SPORT 15 model, and not information about wooden components that are embedded into the foam-filled space between the hull and liner laminated components; and
  • any drawing that is available for download on this website can be accessed by any visitor, and there is no need for one participant to "send" such a drawing to another individual, as the other individual can simply download the file himself if pointed to the URL where the diagram is available.

Information about the dimensions of the wooden interior components of the SPORT 15 are available for a small cost from Ward Grafton, who has carefully measured all of the components and created excellent CAD-style drawings of them.

The existence of this resource is also mentioned in the REFERENCE section article

Drawings of Boston Whaler Components Available Online
https://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/drawings.html

and in the section under the subheading "Electronic Computer Aided Design Drawings for 13, 15, and 16-foot Models" there is a hyperlink to the website operated by Ward Grafton, where for a very nominal cost (currently $10.50) you can get 15-pages of information about fabricating your own wooden interior components.
