Old school 41 Apache weights
Back in the day, Jenny's Express weighed 14,600 when built, Geronimo weighed 14,800 when built. They both had 6 man stand up bolsters and if you can call it that, the little storage cabin, there had no cruiser type amenities. Hope this helps.

Most of the early Apache's were layed up pretty heavy. Keep in mind, my old '94 Top Gun weighed 9,600 pounds with Bravo drives and even more when we upped the drives to 3A's. So this morning I called the Obi Wan Kenobe of Apache's, my longtime friend, Tres Martin. Tres agreed that some of the light layup 41's were around 10,000 pounds, but most were 13,000 pounds dry and with around 220 gallons of fuel that put Jenny's right at the advertised 14,600 pounds. So you are correct on fuel, but the dry weight difference is 3,000 pounds. Tres mentioned that in the lightweight boats, the top decks actually gave a little bit when you walked on them..
