1977 Sport 15

Postby Kapharms » Sat Apr 02, 2022 4:39 pm

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?

The location of the Boston Whaler decal for the 15 Sport is 3-inches below the underside of the gunwale lip and 11-inches forward of the edge of the transom.

I hope you are getting authentic decals from Magic Brush, the sole OEM provider. The imitation ones can be spotted a mile away.

Figure 1 below shows the position of the WHALER logo on my 1976 SPORT 15 boat. To the best of my knowledge, decal is original decal and in the original position.
