I have a cabin cruiser boat and need to find the Hull # on it. Where would I find it and also need a manual.?

Question

Alpex Weaverly cabin cruiser boat . The year is a 1965, 18'. I am restoring it and need a manual for it. The name of the company that built it would be great.

Answer 1

The Hull number ought to be on the safety approval plate. It's the metal tag,  located in or near the skipper station or on the transom. It could also be stamped into the stringers near the engine.

I'm afraid I can't help more than that. I think that Alpex took over Alumacraft and itself was taken over by Timpte Industries although they seem to be just the holding company. Alumacraft is still in business and would be where I'd start. http://www.alumacraft.com/home.html .  You may have luck there. Here's a link to that company aquisition I mentioned. It's on the last part of that page. http://www.timpte.com/history.htm
