Has Arima ever published or does anyone know the production #s of boats each year or breakdown by year/ model perhaps?  :anyone:

Yes just though it might be interesting. I know if you wanted to know how many of a motorcycle or old car you can usually look that up and know that you own 1 of 3000 convertible Chevy Nova's for 1966 for example or maybe your 17 Sea Chaser 1990 is 1 of only 5 built? I just thought it would an good reference point.

More than likely, you would have to call Don at Arima/Defiance. I don't think they ever posted any anual production numbers, I would assume they have that information archived somewhere. I think the number in the production line is part of the VIN# but I'm not positive. There used to be a link here you could de-code your boat with the VIN.

We had the figures but they are probably filed away in so many of the boxes from the old factory.  There was definitely a comparison program that showed us how many of which models sold each year from the very beginning.  I do not know where it is but if I run into it someday when going through the boxes, I will see if I can post some of the figures.
