I've had this boat on my desktop for awhile now. It's unique, and in the pics, looks cherry.

That price, is just incredible. No power, yes, but I mean why so cheap? It almost makes me think my 20 year old ass can afford it?

I just don't understand it. It's got some pretty cool little touches as well.

So what do the experts say? How much to get that thing going mint! Is a staggered setup possible? How much do you think she weighs with a half cabin?

OK, so I searched a little more, and found a few more facts.

- It mas made at the original Apache building

-It was a charter boat in Florida, possibly in Europe as well.

Which kind of sucks, it's probably had the hell beaten out of it.

-A staggered setup doesn't look possible. It's got a funky hatch design so it seems.

Even if it is a beaten charter boat, it doesn't look it. Kind of disapointing, but still.... Why so damn cheap?

Staggered is possible but hatch is the least of worries. 3 motors would cost 100k.

There is another like that boat with low hours that might be for sale.

Fred Kiekhaefer had an awsome one that had twins that where staggered, loved that boat. It was at a poker run up here when it ws brand new, back in the early 90's, I think.

only one of two triples that i know of and i have the other one.....

[QUOTE=Why so damn cheap?[/QUOTE]


triple engines cost a lot to maintain and the fact that is says comanche turn your apache guys off.......same bottom,different top deck,( cleaner in my opinion thats why i liked mine, plus triples in a 42)

Yeah I guess I know what you're saying now. I like the older Apaches much better. Not for any particular reason.

Still though, $75K seems dirt cheap for that boat.

I found a picture that showed "Paradigm" on the back of the boat.

So I google searched it and finally found this.

20,000lb. boat loaded 140 gallons of fuel burned hourly at 4k.

And a replacement cost of $700,000 big ones. That's quite the depreciation.

It would be more than 700 for a new 42 triple.

For what it's worth, I really like the Comanchees. There is no way I'll afford a triple engine boat, but a 36 that's a different story...

Out of curiosity, how many and what size Comanchees were built?
