Very nice!!! I cant wait to see mine all stripped and all painted white, Since I love white so much I might just leave it all white but hey thats me.
Great job, Great boat and the speed is VERY impressive.
I have not really HAMMERED mine yet so I dont know what speeds I am capable of as of yet and I have always had quite a few people and fuel on for in the beginning like alot of others, I dont want to run lean on the fuel side cause you never know where you will end up down here and without knowing how fast fuel gets consumed until you get really used to your boat I never wanted to risk it but so far I have seen 88 on GPS, cheeks flappin, neck skin wiggling around, earrings pulling back and I did that with 1foot chop in the ICW (and if any of you are law enforcement, im not saying where so I dont get in trouble so SHHHHHHH)
few questions, where can you get your boat weighed in?
Can I pull into one of those weigh stations on like a highway like I95 or something or is that reserved for commercial vehicles only? I would hate to take up time out of the truckers time frame goofin around trying to figure out the weight of my boat.
Good job, always post more photos too!

Beautiful boat, definitely one of the nicest Apaches, as far as I am concerned. Those are some beefy looking trim tabs.
The exhaust runs alongside the saddle tanks. I wonder about heat/expansion, is there any real problem with the exhausts so close? Is there some kind of pressure bleed, for any excessive pressure build up? I would think the fuel would get hot and expand. Not to mention a possible decrease in horsepower due to high fuel temp, is any kind of cooler used to cool the fuel before final delivery? I have seen box's with fuel line coiled inside and ice added to cool the fuel on funny cars.
