Lynch Mob
 

I had the great opportunity to run w/Will Lynch in Ocean City as the Pace Boat Official for OPA this weekend...

What a Blast!

You Apache folks are on to something!... :cool:

thanks much Will!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

..another shot :cool:

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Thanks for the pictures! I was happy to be involved with the race and I seriously hope that OPA wants to come back to OC again next year. Job well done guys!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

those coasties are green with envy watching that badazz cruise on by :D

Re: Lynch Mob
 

A few more pics that people have sent to me over the last few days. Once again, thank you to everybody for all of the pictures!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

:eek:

Re: Lynch Mob
 

The "Lynch Mob Racing" logo looks awesome. I love the clean graphic. That's a bad ass boat. :cool:

Re: Lynch Mob
 

What's the history of that boat?

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Looks great Will! I especially like the flag on the bow, reminds me of another boat you use to own :D

Re: Lynch Mob
 

The history is-that is one bad *ss Apache
Was Kid Apache,one of of nicest Apache's ever built
Runs great and rides like a Cadillac
Makes mine look like a toy
Hopefully Will is going to paint it like it was
"KID APACHE"

Re: Lynch Mob
 

where can those flags be gotten from?

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Im sorry you need to put it back the it was.

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Will, keeps looking better and better- even few years ago when you just had the logo as a reference to the past. Don't change a thing it 's Badass as it gets - well maybe a #1 :D

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Did I read that link correctly? The boat is for sale?

Re: Lynch Mob
 

The flags that are on this boat are vinyl and were made by Kinetic Animation.

Re: Lynch Mob
 

I thought about putting the #1 on it, but decided to go with the original number instead. I don't know what we will end up doing with it. Maybe it will get painted with the original design, maybe it will get a new design or maybe it will stay all white. I honestly have not decided, but for now I am not really worried about it. Right now I am just running the boat the way it is and having a good time with it. :D

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Yeah. If it sells it sells, if not....that's ok too. The boat is awesome and we just did the motors, drives, and new sport tube headers so the drive train is new. We have been to 7 poker runs and we don't go to one without someone commenting on it. We still have two more to do including Key West. Are you going to bring that big bad boat down for the Winter?

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Befor the boat was Kid APACHE Kid it was built as RDS and throttled by Kieth Hazzel. In ran in SuperBoat class for a couple of seasons as RDS. It was then renamed Kid APACHE Kid, The Spirit of Houston for one seson. It is a crusher, I got to ride in it in KW one year, I don't think that there is a wave in the ocean too big for that thing.

Re: Lynch Mob
 

I would love to head down there this winter. I need to take care of a few odds and ends on the boat over the winter, but there aren't any major changes planned. I am planning to tear into it next fall to do the cosmetic work that we have been putting off for the past few years. I have been budgeting for it and it looks like we will be ready to do a ton of work next fall/winter (Fall 07).

You are killing me again with the Top Gun for sale. I would love to have that boat back! There is something to be said for factory power! And the fact that it is a little shorter on the trailer makes things really nice too. If only I wasn't hooked on the big Apache!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

I have posted them in other threads over the past few weeks, but here are two videos of one of the engines running on the trailer.

Apache Flush

Apache 45

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Man that thing sounds good.

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Yeah, we kind of went back and forth on whether to sell it or not but we decided that we are going to sell it. All I know is if we were going to buy another Cigarette we wouldn't bother selling this one. It's a great boat and we've had a lot of fun with it!

....Don't you need a boat down here full time? :D

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Thanks! The mufflers knock the edge off in the marina and bay, but I love the way it sounds offshore (and in the video) without the mufflers.



I do need a boat down there full time, as long as you will take care of it when I am not there. Talk about a dream! I would love to have that boat down there waiting for me. Actually, I would love to have that boat anywhere waiting for me. One day I want to go back to that boat and then the next day I am sold on the Apache again. They are both absolutely incredible boats.

What are you guys going to now? You mentioned that it was not another Cigarette. Just curious. I am hoping that it is another go fast because I live through the winters only by looking at your "floating reporter" pictures. They keep me going until the warm weather comes back in the spring. We only have another week or two on the water with the Apache and then it will be time to put it away for the winter. :(

Re: Lynch Mob
 

In post #5 I see some white cap activity. Your Apache doesn't even look affected by it! That is some Offshore powerboat!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

No problem, free storage too! Yes, it is another go fast. Anytime you want to drive the Cig fly down and let us know we'll hook you up with the wheel.

We also have a 31' Sutphen Race Boat "Great Adventure" which we will probably run in a few SBI races next year.

Re: Lynch Mob
 

It was one of those days when weight and length matter!


I will certainly have to take you up on that ride. As for the maintenance and free storage, that is a great deal. I only hope that you would run it every now and then too just to be sure that things are working correctly!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Correction........ it was one of those weeks when length and weight mattered :D :evilb:

Ocean City, MD rocks!!!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

That's true. The seas kept building throughout the race and it didn't lay down at all for several days.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I have been trying to get a shot of our boat and Rob's boat together, but this is the closest thing that I have so far. Kinda sad considering that they sit next to each other all summer. Maybe next summer.

Anyhow, we are running again tomorrow and probably going on Tuesday as well, but I think that Rob put his away for the season when he got home from Key West. Since I missed that trip I gotta take advantage of this nice weather while it is here! I figure that I can always winterize it again. :p This is the best time of the year to be out around here. You have everything all to yourself!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

I wish you would have told me. I had my camera that day but felt funny about taking pics while you were kind enough to show us your boat.
Next summer.... I promised "Enforcer" / (Midnight Express) who is from your area that I would get some running shots of his boat, maybe we could plan a photo day and everyone can get running shots of each other.

Re: Lynch Mob
 

That sounds like a great idea! Any time you want to take a picture of my old "resin bucket" please feel free. :D I was actually flattered that you guys came over there to see it!

Re: Lynch Mob
 

Hey Marty. This pic was on the camera, but never got posted for some reason. The mic from the headset almost looks like a cigar!

This was originally built by my dad Stephen Baldwin who raced it for a year. He couldn’t think of how to paint it and none of the options presented resonated . One day my mom had a bathing suit made out of a bunch of different fabrics and he decided that would be it…
so that pattern design is modeled after a bunch of vintage clothing being cut up and stitched together as a bathing suit

do you know where the boat is now?

Cool color story, Its in the TKO Motorsports collection in AZ along with a bunch of other Apaches.

Your parents were memorable perfect clients. I remember the day your were born. Hung out with your dad many times at his home along with many Miami Dolphin players. After dinner always a ride in the Rolls. Your father a great racer and friend. Be Proud Stephen !
