Hello guys,
Kageman here. I am a stainless steel fabricator and one of the primary product lines I manufacture is animal cages and equipment for the veterinary market. Chances are if you have a pet they have been in or on our equipment at your local veterinarian's office.
Check out my web site on our products
www.suburbansurgical.com , anyway
that is where I got the name, basically I make and sell animal cages.
As for the history on my 41 Apache, it was originally named "bushwacker", I spoke with McManus quite a few times when I was redoing the boat, he really
knows more about it than I do and would be a good person to speak with regarding it's original owner and history.
I do know that it is an original #6 boat which was one of the criteria that an
Apache had to have when I was looking for one.
I purchased the boat from Randy Sweers who purchased the boat from an auction, apparently it was reposessed by the bank from the current owner
at that time.
It had only one motor and tranny at the time. I had the paint and custom engine hatches done by Don Rossi (Trick Paint), got a pair of 800SC,s and
Randy Sweeres had Chief install the intercoolers. New huber 1500 trannys,
Marine Drive Services rebuilt the drives and rams with all new parts.
Then I took the boat back to Chicago to complete the rerigging and restoration on the boat, it took about a year and a half. I did a lot more
on the boat than what I have listed as I do not want to post a novel here.
If you are interested in the boat and have any questions feel free to call me
directly at 847-376-0262 (cell) anytime.
I continue to look at the 41's available out there and my boat definitely is
in far better shape than what is typically available, it has always been a pleasure set up.
Jason, I will be e-mailing you a more detailed list on the boat tomorrow.
