And made them fast if that's accurate.

My 1966 is hull number 117

The first digit is a series number for the length, based upon the package being delivered.

My hull is 41c117. It's a series 1 41c from 1966.

His and krushes are also series 1 41c 4xx from 1968.

The full tower really looks good on the 41. BTW series 1 would be the trunk cabin 41. From what I've always heard the hull #'s have no rhyme or reason that anyone remembers. I'm 50c 305 so maybe it was total #'s of hulls built. Our 65 34 was SC 157. Remember up to 65 there were only two hulls 34 and 41. When my Dad bought the 34 in 1965 we went to the factory in Hi Point and they were working on the mold for the 50 it was as the POTUS would say HUGE!!!. I remember Ray Meyers telling my dad it was designed for a Navy contract and they were developing a MY on the hull but it was a limited test market because very few people would buy a boat that big.

The first 41's were the yachtfish ( Knitwitts and others of that style)

They were introduced 1959/60 and ran for a few years

Series 1 41C is from 1964 until I belive 71 or 72

Series 2 41c was about 25 years later than the series 1


The 34 had a few versions.

1) The SC or sport cruiser had the trunk cabin.

2) the C or convertible was the single level bow.

3) The S or Sedan had the step done to the large cabin like the old luhrs and silvertons

and the DC was a motoryacht
