and there ya have it. When looking at any of these older race/pleasure boats, liken it to finding a classic muscle car, say a 70 Chevelle SS LS6, you are going to have to go through it from top to bottom and make everything right or pay the money to buy one done. Either way it is going to cost a good amount of coin to do it right, in the end if you are redoing one for the love of redoing it, it is priceless, if you're doing it to flip it, be prepared to own it until the right buyer comes along.

The boat is located in South Carolina at Carolina Marine our family business and the entire family has been having a blast in it!! Sorry to have taken the boat out of the Apache Thread and no updated photos or updates. Due to previous threads and individuals that I thought insulted my intelligence about these boats that I have such a passion for I chose not to participate on the threads. I am an Apache enthusiast and I love the history of these boats and have owned several of these boats from 47's to the 41's and currently am building a '47 that we converted from a triple to a staggered set-up. This is a rare Carbon/Kevlar '47. As far as the triple engine debate these boats will perform better in today's situations with a twin engine set-up than a triple engine set-up ever could. As far as being the fastest V-Hull at the Poker Run--in today's conditions the Apache should not be your choice. If they would run these poker runs in small craft advisories then we would see who has the fastest boat. Confused on the thread from Baja555 about the weight of the boat being to heavy the boat weighs alot less then you might think also this is a race boat not one of Mark's tanks he sent over seas. The 47 that we converted to a staggered set up should run over 100MPH on pump gas and she was built like a tank.

[QUOTE=Catmando;3263503]Also a good point...
Tres I saw a Marauder that went to Luca Fendi in Italy and it had trips with two motors in front. Did Braver do that because of CG issues or what?[/QUOT
Its hard to say, Have no idea what these builders are trying to do. They may wanted to have forward CG to soften the ride.

Also, I agree with Baja555 about the triple engines/drives being the superior setup for power/speed/durability, but wow! the $. A great Apache!

By the way, not to totally derail this thread, but I see a 42 in the classifieds that looks just like HotDucks old 45, even looks to have been converted to twins from tripples. Sweet ride!
