Ah, some of you are having too much fun with this!! :violent-smiley-045:

Man ,, I don't know what happened in the Lagoon's last nite ,, but they must have been smoking the payote pipe and mixing the firewater with coolaid for sure , my phone has been ringing for the last 24hrs.. :food-smiley-007::D

RHC

I'm not even sure how the conversation began, but I know I said something about the "riddle" and Scott was asking me what I was talking about.......from that point on your phone hasn't quit rining! :p:cool-smiley-027:

sorry roger....

Not to break up the secret code talk you guys are having:D

but you'll all be happy to know the boat has been (tentively) purchased and will be returning to Cali and put back together properly with new (moderate) power, plans to have the drives gone through, interior checked (fixed if needed), bildge gone through, etc. etc. Look for updated pics of the project. should be fun.

Trust me, he's having waaaaaaaaaaaay too much fun with this. :ernaehrung004:

LOL! Now that's funny!

too funny lmao doesnt take much...to entertain:food-smiley-007:

It's sort of difficult to keep us focused! It's commanche 36 and RHC's fault! :hitfan::ernaehrung004::signs035:

It's all good. Just thought you guys would like an update.

new we would get blamed roger......maybe we should be passed the peace pipe...:ernaehrung004:

We do appreciate the update! Can't wait to see how the boat ends up with power, drives, etc. Really like the paint.

Don't forget the firewater! :p:cool-smiley-027:

Time for this post to come back to the top ,,,, Tank ,,, the boat is back on E-Bay ,, I just looked at the ad ,,, bid is 10K plus ,, I guess we get to go thru this all again,,,,,, OH and buy the way ,, I also got a call that said there was some big thunder rumbling away on the North Shores of Lake Erie,,, better get you spy glass out if ya live in Mentor !!!!:D

RHC

You are such a troublemaker..................

Well, The Chief won't be seeing any rumbles on Lake Erie any more this calendar year.....she was pulled and stored yesterday. She's already being tinkered on....Rob can't stand not to touch his boat! :hitfan:

Suppose to be nice tonight.....if we don't see/hear rumbles soon, it's going to have to wait until spring....unless truth be told there Mr Pipe Smokers :cool-smiley-027: and Fire Water drinkers! :ernaehrung004:

My friend drove 6 hours one way after placing a deposit on the boat. Got out there and was not impressed (to say the least). offered 5k less than the agreed price, seller said no. My buddy turned and came back. More of a project than he wanted.

I thought maybe that happened,,, I looked at this boat about a yr ago and it was pretty cheap == read cheap at the time ,,, I agree the paint looks cool but I would rather have new engines and drives than I would to have fresh paint ,,, just my .02 ,,,, I am sure that the 2nd engine has some needs also,

RHC

vroom vroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D....bong water needs changed:cool-smiley-011:

what price did they agree on?

me too.........as far as the second motor.........check your heels........

Hammerhead?

Aside from the paint, everything else on it looks like a nightmare- and that's from the photos. I can't imagine what he could have seen that made the deal less desireable.

I was shocked that the boat brought a bid over $50K.

Tank,
What was it that turned your buddy off???

His whole thing was he has a set of really nice blown P Pfaff 850's and if the drives were fine, the interior was decent and the paint was as nice as it looked he could be into the thing for under 100k. Wasn't the case.

The seller seems like a nice guy, owns another fairly well known nor-tech. The boat is still for sale, so until its sold I don't want to give #'s. I know that it wasn't going to be worth it after having to dump money into it to be in the boat right (i.e. resale)


The first motor blew immediately upon purchase by this owner 3 years ago.:rolleyes: I assume the second motor will blow immediately upon the next firing up.

I don't remember which it was. Stinson knows for sure and could confirm it.

At the time the thought was, if you look at the pics the paint looks flawless. The interior is a start and would hopefully just need some attention. If the drives were ok internally, the engine compartment wouldn't be that big a deal to give the attention it needs, especially if you have motors ready to go in.


The paint wasn't as nice as it appears in the pics. Not bad, just not as nice as it looks in the pics. The interior is just ok (at the most). One drive turned free (no motor attached) the other wouldn't turn until he put the prop on it and broke it free (maybe water? Dont know). There were other little things that needed attention.



To be honest, even after all that, I still think it'd be a good buy at the right price if the buyer had the heart, patience, desire to rebuild it and was a true apache fan that wasn't worrying about breaking even or going into the red. Just my .02 but I love Apaches:D

needs a total re-rig...does it not deserve it after all these years....start fresh know what you have........respect it for what it is....and you have a great boat....not resalable...just a great boat....dont re do it to sell........enjoy.......m.m...

Exactly my point. Needs someone that wants an apache for the long run and willing to put the time, effort, desire into it.

and that would not be all bad,,,, it will be one of the finer rides one could have !!! :ernaehrung004:

RHC

No, it's not "Hammerhead"...

a light layup 41 apache 3 man setup is the shot....ask anyone who has ridden in one....light and long built real strong.......m.m..
