Hey Tank, " Off Duty " is as "Powerboat Magazine" a bit tired and in need of a refit after two seasons on the P1 Circuit.
What a great boat . The Teague engine package a tough heavy duty application.

"Tsunami" just had a refit, and power now Teague 1200s with extension boxes, air shift transmissions. a Cool package .

All the best Duna.

The new package on Tsunami is the same package Bob has on his personal Skater. Nice set up!

So where the video!!?? :drink:

Hope things are well buddy.

Hey Tank, Bob certainly enjoys his Skaters be it the Build, Design or rigging.oH I FORGOT THE ride HA
Send me a pm and your email will up-Date you.

All the best to you and your family. Cheers Duna :drink:

Very Hot!

this boat looks real good.

Interesting........One of the very finest 41 Apache Powerboats!

$334,688 is that a good price?

I can't say if it's a good price in a bad market.......but I can say it's a great Apache in any market. They are expensive toys.

Great running shots of it here:

Thanks for posting that video.
Ed

No worries.
I was going through and watching the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes races on that site, and came across that one. Too bad the coverage is so short.

Looked strong in the beginning, do they say why they finished in last place?

On boatmads gallery the coverage of CTC 2008 was 44 minutes...
All in all they have 30+ races covered about like that....

And Flying Falcon looked as strong in the beginning only because at the beginning to the first marker they race is on s.c. yellow flags and can´t go full speed as a warning for other boaters the field is coming.
After that it´s all out and FF dropped immidiately so they must have had some serious problems.

That race in general hasn´t been much fir the Americans to take home and Errol Lanier sums it up good why in the 1981 race clip.

Ya...I was just talking about the coverage of FF, but understandably so given how far back they were. Great looking Apache though!

WTH is that thing on the right side of the starboard helm in the middle pic??

Asif put the vinyl you see on it now, along with the fancy light tower.

Love Twistana puckenn :cool: very cool! Some more vids and pics would be much appreciated! :)

Thanks,
Chris

If I bought that boat the first thing I'd do is call Gail and get on her list for repaint. And BTW are those really HP500s like the ad copy says???

Cat - you and I love to pick opposite sides of a debate:drink:

I love the paint, it's the colors of the Bahamas flag. Really, I just don't get all the repaints, you buy a classic boat to have a classic boat, why update the paint scheme? If you brought a classic car would you paint it a color it wasn't produced in?

I cry when I see boats like Jenny's Express painted, now it looks pretty good but inbetween the orignal and now - ugh!

Starchaser - painted white, god no it was a classic yellow Apache, should be kept exactly like it was, even the names being changed, they were classic Apache names.

I know, I'm old, color blind, lack style, want everyone to have manual windows in their cars still and what's wrong with a clutch and a shifter on the column?

Joe I just don't like that baby blue and screaming yellow. And it's just too plain a design. But you're probly right; if that's the original paint it should be left as is.

I'm busting you, it's pretty bad, some paint jobs should just be done over - Happy New Year my friend!

Joe
I know some of these original paint schemes are very good, but I have never been so taken by paint until I saw the new Guardado paint work on JE. Fantastic!
Ed

Same here! Love it!

That is a beautiful paint job.

IMO. Beautiful paint jb. But I just dont see the relation between the graphics and the name or the brand.?.. Maybe call it Tropic Thunder. LoL

We just stayed home. After I sold my dually the wife doesn't like to get out on the hwy on these holidays. She felt safe in it...

Hope you had fun... :)

One of the Apaches in Europe just came back to FL ....

:-)

Where did Midas end up going? Take it back to phil?

King Midas! Not many pics around of that 41 have been posted. Where is J Bonz?

Its arriving @ Phil today :-)

Needs some repair and hope its ready for boating when we`re back in FL for Vacation in March :-)

we had to renew the painting after an acid attack in Spain. The painter did a fantastic work!

Looks great! What power & speeds? 6 drives?

That's great to hear! Phil has history with that boat, he'll take great care of her.

It was and still is a great pleasure to work with Paul Silivan and his 41 Apache. we added the logo on the deck also painted matching truck to go with the boat. I will look for my pictures if they can save my harddrive. my computer quit on me.
