Heavy, tripples, exspensive to maintain, fuel !!!

Seems people that kinda cash buy an OL.
Lighter, faster, bling bling.

Apache's are bad to the bone, but has to be your passion just like anything else to justify it.

Just my .02

I think there is nothing wrong w/ that cougar for 50k.
Just that its a racer and probably gets .4 mpg.

The guy that bought INXS bought this boat and then backed out of the deal, then came back and bought the engines and drives out of it so its an empty shell at this point, Reason I did not buy it was cause it was just too much to pull with the dually. You need a freightliner to haul that thing around. I was ready to go look at it before they yanked out the engines and drives. Now that its an empty shell, it will never sell. The boat Jbonz, is cut for #6 drives so you are going to have to plug the transom, reglass it, then cut it for 3's and I dont know how well 3's will hold up on that thing, she is HEAVY, relize thats a 16K lbs boat dry weight, to pull that on a trailer your probably pushing 19-20 K pounds!!!!! That steel dually 5th wheel myco its sitting on has GOT to be at least 3500 lbs or 4000 lbs. Keep that in mind, now put 350 gallons of fuel in it, life vests, ropes, fire extinguishers, towels, few people, some soda and beers, etc, your looking at alot of weight. I think a 41 would run circles around that thing even with the trip 1100's it had in there originally before they stripped it.
Big, Yes, Bad azz, Yes worth it Maybe, but if you have to haul it around like I do, no way, not worth it but the price is making it more attractive Ill give it that.
