Apache Scout vin# help
 

hi, new owner of a 1995 Apache Scout. The vin# begins with CGMO. anyone heard of this? the title says Apache.
thanks

Mine starts APH, I have also heard of AP8. I don't know anything about CGMO. Have you called Bobby S?

no, I haven't talked to him.

Coast guard may have issued a new vin tag. Is it a riveted on tag or molded in to the gelcoat? In Florida , if the vin is damaged , missing , ect. The coast guard , after verifying paperwork and boat , will issue new vin tag , but will not be original vin as before. Hope this helps. Good luck!!!

I had a 1995.... Its a Century built boat. Post a picture.

Century was licensed to build the Scouts in the nineties. I have a 27' Century that was made from the 27' Excalibur/Welllcraft Speedster molds. I guess they were trying to add more models without spending time and money on design and tooling.

That was my guess. Century built. Not 100%, but this thread says it would be CNT possibly if century. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/a...e-scout-s.html

Story I was told was that at some point Dick Genth brought the molds with him when he joined Century boats. I talked with Bobby S at a boat show years ago and he said he wished he had those molds back !

wow! great information. i love the boat. awesome hull!

I'm trying to figure out how to post a photo.

its got a 300 pro max. First time with a boat his fast. Got to learn how to drive it.
