McManus....Apache Powerboats owner & Master Boatbuilder....also offers a restoration service for his powerboats. A nice feature that keeps Apache Powerboats in top form for decades. Quality pays....it doesn't cost!

Thank you for that build quality endorsement MH42! Amazing how durable Apache Powerboats really are! Unlike weak potato chip powerboats that hit a good size wave & explode in the owners face. They don't last & let's face it...it could be hazardous! Apache Powerboats endure the test of time. Safe passage in unruly seas!

Don't slander OL....I don't see any Apaches in supervee unlimited....the reason is no one wants a heavy pig that runs 90 with 900hp....that's the reason...granted they are great, but don't make them being the end all and be all to the boating world...

If Apache had put steps in their boats in their 80's then maybe Ben Kramer wouldn't have to sell drugs and go to jail to pay for his boat racing
