I have a 12' jon boat with an inside deck width of 32". The transom tag is extremely faded. I am able to make out the words Appleby manufacturing but there is no apparent date any where. On the left side of the tag is what appears to be 2GE (or F?) 1 (?) and stamped on the right side are the numerals 000133. Based on what I remember from my car selling days the numbers are probably a date/model code and the stamped numerals are the production number i.e. the 133rd boat manufactured that year.
I know this is probably a stretch but can anyone provide me information as to what year this boat was manufactured?
I gave $50.00 for it back in 1986 and used it on a small lake that I lived on for years. When we moved I kept the boat but have not had it in the water in 11 years. Now the son-in- law and I plan to refurbish it and add decking, pedestal seats etc. I will be posting pics of the restoration as we move through the project.
I look forward to the input from fellow tin boat sailors!
Upon further inspection I believe the number may be 2GEL000133.
Thanks for any help!
