1961 Whirlwind 16’ Neptune Day Cruiser (Model 1640, Hull # 13719). Complete rig includes original convertible top, 40 HP Johnson (1960 Model RDSL 23), and any thing else I bought for the boat. All wood-work and most hardware are original. The hull is molded plywood. Whirlwind laminated, glued, stapled, Philippine mahogany veneers on mandrels; and baked them in an autoclave to produce the boat’s port and starboard sides in one piece. Hull thickness is 6 layers and 3/8 in. thick. Whirlwind screwed and glued each side to the inner and outer keels, stringers, stem, transom knee, and transom. The bench seat and dash board are also screwed and glued to the hull and inner keel. All the wood woodwork is original and is in excellent condition, stain and varnish new in 2003. The 40 HP Johnson includes a Generator Kit with service manual instructions, and a photocopy of 1961 Owner’s Manual and Parts Catalog.
