They also maked a few what I believe they call race/pleasure versions Pleasure cockpit with a short staggerdrive train. They also made 24's I thinck there are very few of these, I have only ever seen one for sale a 1989 with bravo and 454 mag it was on the east coast years ago.

Hi WARPAINT, when "Hotboats" tested the Brave 28 in 1997 they wrote their Brave 28 was "the 68th out of the mold, according to Froberg". So it could be... they really made 65 Originals ...plus a handfull Cherokees later.

That will surely include the 28 center console version, but how much did they made of this? 2? 3? Not many.

WARPAINT, I started boating on a Cigarette Bullet 31. Did you ever see a Bullet? How does a Cigarette Bullet compare to your Apache 28? They both have exactly (!) the same beam: 8'6". Both are built like a brick. The Bullet is of course 3ft longer. Quite a bit. I did never ride on an Apache 28. How would you compare them?

How fast does your Apache 28 go on GPS with full fuel?

How fast would an Apache 28 go with less power, say 2x500hp. 77mph? 80?

Nykamp

You also have a 41 ? What year is it ? What drive train?

WARPAINT

NYKAMP, i do not own a 41.i bought my 28 from ike rowland who owns the 41 war party.i have twin 509/600 hps full of fuel on gps it runs 84 mph.with stock 502s i believe my boat ran 77. i have never been on a 31 bullet but the 28 apaches definately feel much larger than they really are.great rough water boat

Nykamp

When I bought the MEDICINE MAN boat, I called Mr. McManus and asked him "How many 47's were built?" He informed me that there 28 hulls pulled from the molds and that the boat that I had was hull #3. Originally built as "Cardiac Arrest".

The 28 Brave was a better boat than the Bullet. Two friends of mine have Bullets and 1 friend with a Brave with Twin 600hp Keith Eickerts. The Bullets are cool but the Brave is a better design, why do you think Cig discontinued the Bullet. The Bullet was top-heavy and liked to chine at high speeds. The Mystique was a big improvment, especially with steps. The Brave just gets crazy at around 85mph, it runs out of hull. It's a little rocket!
