A Q&D answer from Glete, Navies and Nations:

Unfortunately, Glete uses his own terminology.

"The structure of the Swedish archipelago flotilla, 1721–1790"

Traditional Types
Floating batteries
1721, 8
1740, 4
1750, 7
1770, 4
1788, 2
Spring 1790, 2

Galleys, large
1721, 12
1740, 20
1750, 28
1770, 71
1788, 29
Spring 1790, 27

Galleys, small
1721, 12
1740, 6
1750, 10
1770, 9
1788, 2
Spring 1790, 2

Af Chapman designed types
Large broadside armed vessels
1770, 3
1788, 8
spring 1790, 7

Broadside armed, guns on centre-line
1770, 1
1788, 3
Spring 1790, 3

Guboats, large
1788, 27
Spring 1790, 127

Gunboats, small
1788, 2
Spring 1790, 87

Obviously, wartime construction was limited to very large numbers of gunboats, at least 100 large and 80 small.

In Appendix 4, he gives "New construction of Baltic archipelago combatant vessels, 1681-1815." I'm not posting all of it, just 1771-87 / 1788-90 / 1791-1806:

Broadside armed, large: 7 / 9 / 0
Broadside armed, small: 1 / 0 / 0
Galley type, large & small: 0 / 0 / 0
Gunboat type, large: 27 / 101 / 14
Gunboat type, small: 2 / 85 / 12
