All I can say guys is that I've ridden on the boat several times and it is an absolute wave crusher in any conditions. In the 2006 Ocean City race, I was in the boat when it was the paceboat. It was near storm conditions and the Apache just motored along effortlessly. Definitely one of the greatest rough water rides ever built.

I had experience with Mark Adams selling my Apache.
While I have no complaints, it turned out that his suggested price was more than double what the market would support. And that was more than 10 years ago.
He was not alone: Ralph Martin and McM told me the same thing. Well intentioned, but way too optimistic.
If he says $220,t he "right" number is probably more like $100
No offense, but true.
In today's market, I'd be very surprised if you will get $100K.
Better to keep it and make the changes you need., IMO.

Well it's still cheaper than building a new 47' Apache for 2 million !
Or as Carl with WarHawk said.......it was 1/2 the cost to completly redo the boat as opposed to building a new one and now it's good for another 15years.
It's boating vs. Passion
Do the right thing and keep that bad boy and upgrade it to your likings.
