I have located a 1966 16ft Apache (according to the owner). I think it may be a Thunderbird Apache. Regardless, it has not been in the water since 1975. Has an 80 horse Evinrude and is on a trailer. It has been stored inside for 35 years. I am intrigued and intend to look at it this evening. Can anyone tell me anything about the boat? Thanks
