Yes it is And a different stringer arrangement under the deck.

the earlier apache had extra bulk heads around the middle of the boat near the wind screen area. the later ones don't have that and you will see cracking on the deck and if it isn't addressed sooner than later it will run down the sides of the boat too.

What year are you calling early? Midas could use more bulk head at the base of the wind screen to deck area.

Can't say for sure but 88/89 I believe. Some boats may have been laid up earlier and stamped later too. Some are 2/3 years older than the stamp

very cool thanks for the lesson, sorry for the derail of the thread

We transported a 41 Apache full cabin pleasure version on its own Myco aluminum trailer all stacked onto our 53 ft transport trailer last spring. Total combined weight going over the scales was 38,400 lbs. My F550 and the 53 ft trailer empty weighs 17,300 and their Myco trailer weighs around 3200 so that would mean the boat itself weighed 17,900 lbs! I could not believe the boat weighed that much and thought the scales had to be wrong but when I mentioned it the boat owner he didn't seem surprised by that weight at all. The boat has big blower engines with #6 drives. If so that means a 41 Apache weights about the same as my 400SS Formula! Still can't believe that is true.
