Need help identifying a 1968 16'7" Boston Whaler HIN#

[srandall64]

I just acquired a 1968 16'7" Boston Whaler from a friend. It has a 5 digit stenciled HIN# in the center of the inboard transom. Is there a way to identify what model it is? its a center console with the blue Whaler inside color, but I don't know if it was always a center console. The HIN# 38971

Thank you in advance for any help...

continuousWave.com or on FB Everything Boston Whaler are your go to source for info on Whalers , That is not your hull ID number. It is a MFG code Probably a Montauk judging by the length and yes, it was always a center console
