That's a first number - great! Many thanks 'later'. I guessed they built more 41's... Someone once posted here on OSO they made 100 41's...

74 Apache 41's 1984-1993/4
28 Apache 47's (sounds a bit high for me too, maybe only 20...?)
55-60 Apache 28's 1988-1993 (In 1997 Cherokee did #68 out of
the original Apache Brave mold, so that should mean 55-60
original Apache 28's untill 1993 from this mold)
2 Open Apache 33's
3-5 Apache 33's
??? Apache 21/22's 1986-1993/4 (...maybe 40-60?)
??? Apache 36's (my uneducated guess would be 20-30...?)

These are the first numbers - can anyone fill in the missing numbers and/or correct the other ones...?

Any input is appreciated very much. I'm already amazed how many of you are looking at this thread - so this question seems to be of interest.

There has been a 33 with IO's for sale like your's for sale in Ohio,off and on the past few years. They are cool looking boats, Bobbys got a sweet looking one for sale in the classifieds with OB's. Is yours 8' beam or wider?

Cool boat with lots of potential! It also could be a "practical" boat you can do a lot with.Fishing,diving,poker runs,and cruising around looking for the best parties! You need to get that bottom paint off and polish up the tower and rocket launchers.Get that girl prettied up !

Get with Bobby to be sure, but we built quite a few 9' 6"(wide beam) 33' Center-Console boats when I was there in the eighties. In both sterndrive(370 TRS's were the most common) & outboard(B-Bracket's with Johnson/Evinrude V-8's)versions. Most all the OMC V-8's(and V-6's) that we used, were from Second Effort Performance in Lake Hamilton, Fl. These OMC's also went on A LOT of 22's that we built with Gil Brackets. Can't tell from your photo's, but if you have a narrow beam(8') 33' Center-Console...Yes, very few of these were built. You could count them on one hand. They were all sterndrives as well, no outboards. Defineately get with Bob though, to have him check his hull number sheets. Ed
