Want an 8733RB - cortezfenn - 08-21-2008 12:42

Would like to see if there may be any 8733RB out there that are for
sale, or someone who may be thinking of selling. A year or two earlier
may be OK, would like the 300hp. The 33 and the rear bath are a must
for our needs. Thanks, Jim

Jim,

87 was first yer of 300hp, if you go older you will get 250. There
were also other substantial changes in the FC from 86 to 87.

I used to have an 82 35' rear bath, I swear by the rear bath.

The combination of 300hp,33ft and rear bath is going to be difficult.
I don't remember ever seeing a 1987 or later that wasn't a 35 ft and
the rear bath is rare in and of itself. Not even certain the bus you
are looking for was made. If you find a 35 ft rear bath in the model
years you are looking for and it's nice I wouldn't hold out for the
difference of two ft. If I see it as correct the advantage to the
rear bath is that the bath is a little bigger ? The disadvantage is
that if you have people sleeping up front they have to pass thru the
rear sleeping area to use the bathroom? And of course the rear bath
has twin beds which is a personal choice. If I was ready to buy
tomorrow that 36 PT just listed on the Bill Board for under $40K
would be hard not to check out. Might be more bus then the 87 FC
which have asking prices of $50K. That last sentence is a question
not a statement of fact. I don't have any experience with either bus
but if I was in the market I'd want to answer that before I shelled
out the money.

Havw we ever seen a production list of numbers built for each year? Maybe I'm looking for an extinct bird. Production numbers of each year and model would be really cool to look at. Jim in MT

I have heard that two 87FC31's were produced, I would suspect the numbers
would be similar for the 33 footers, By that time the 35 foot had overwhelming
popularity

Good luck in finding that Bird, I know of a 1987 FC31, it is 1 of 2
birds built in 1987 that was not a 35'. This bus may or may not be for
sale but it is not a rear bath. This bird has a SB with a rear side
queen bed. It is a sharp bird, two tone grey with Indian Silver,
300HP, ZF transmission, gas generator, Primus heat, garage kept. The
old gentleman who owns it says he may leave it to an employee some day.

Is that 31 one of two 31's, or might there be a 33? I cannot find a 31 floorplan to look at. Any ideas? And is there any chance to contact the owner of the 87 31? Thank you for the info.
