Could be yours!! Call OL and make an offer.

Here's a quick down and dirty photo shop of how I'd do it!

too late my pal already called. NOT for SALE. O L says its going to be featured in their future adds. great sales tool. cant by good press like this. cya.

As in their giong to bash the boat in their ad?

That marketing tactic usually doesn't work well for companies. You shouldn't have to bash another brand to make your boat look good. It should just stand on its own merit.

That's a pretty expensive piece of advertising. Not sure what they give for a trade on a bare hull but still, you could buy a lot of glossy PB adds for that money.

Personally I'd have rather seen it be traded on a Fountain. That would cause enough of a stir to power this board til next spring:eek:

Now that right there is funny, I dont care who ya are...:evilb:

Someone buys a new boat and thinks so much of it that He strips it of all the good pieces and expects someone else to want it? :eek:

That's the time to buy it. Powerboats without power are much harder to sell than those with. Even at tremendous savings. And the capper is today's boating market is poor. He will really lose out.

That doesn't sound right. Outerlimits is too smart to run a negative sales campaign.

That's not bad! LOL!

not after seeing that video. not the apache ride i know. mm. ps.might be the driver.

I don't know if you can base the ride on one video of the boat on one of it's maiden voyages in huge seas with a test driver. Looks to me like they're running a LOT of tab. Almost reminded me of the video of the Sunsation (I think) that stuffed because he was running so much tab.

If you're out doing a shake down test in someone elses boat in BIG water, are you going to try and run it hard (with out bolsters mind you)? Playing with the drives, the tabs, running it next to a helicopter.

Compare the 54' video to the warpath video. They said 4-8's in the warpath video and the seas the 54 is running in look twice that.

All I'm saying is I wouldn't count it out based on that video.

But then again, you or I aren't going to buy it, so who really cares. Just making conversation.:drink:

who knows next rear the O.L. might be at the sea ray factory.[de-rigged]. we will see how much abuse this boater can take. cya.

I agree, that is some huge water Cold War is running through, and they push it pretty hard through that stuff considering there were no bolsters. And let's not forget that is a pleasure boat. What other manufacturer would even try to run their hull in those seas? Probably none, and the reason is because they won't hold up. Apache powerboats will hold up running those seas for decades.

Yea, it'll be interesting to see how the O.L. runs. This Apache was purpuse built to run in big Russian waters. Cold and rough!

I don't really know how well an OL will hold up in those conditions. I would think it'll take a no-nonsense boat built to withstand BIG water. To me that screems Apache.

When you ask what's the best rough water boat ever built. Apache is always brought up. Cigarette. Sutphen, etc.....Guess we'll just see what happens.

I agree with you on the Apache in rough water, they proved themselves back in the 80's and can still hang when it gets big. It's the reason I bought one.

One thing I can say is two of my buddie's have 51' OL's and they ride phenomenal in rough water. I've seen it and experienced it a few times. Also, the newer Epoxy boat runs 96 mph with (3) 600's (13K lbs) and the older boat runs 90 mph with (3) 625's (15k lbs). Both are full pleasure boats, stand up heads, fridge, AC, monstrous cockpit, genny the who nine yards. Also, Sgro's 51' has some big twin engines and the boat runs in the 100's. :drink:

The 52' is a new model so it's going to be interesting what it does with those big 1200's. :popcorn:

and film it to boot. the driver could have been part of the problem. i would burn that video before i would show it. some apaches have past the test of time. now they are living off old reputation. alot of that going around. cya.

I don't agree. That helicopter pilot was much better then the one Ben hired. SeaU. LOL!

FYI.

put it where it belongs

Tornadoes in Kankakee? Maybe in Peotone or Dwight. I'll send you one up from Central Illinois.

Careful Magnum...You might tick Ed off. YOU of all people, Magnum, should know not to talk about the truth like that. I mean YOU were there and LIVED the history. What the hell does Magnum Mark know anyway????:angry-smiley-038:

We need to get together and have lunch.

Ed, its good that you are cheering Mr. McManus on and showing the love, but, I didn't say that anyone builds crap, I said that I didn't like the deck. My OPINION! Its good that you keep stirring the pot and its nice to know that I am not the only one that you take offense to their comments.

You boys have fun. I'm going boating.

Big Andy

so, the question still remains...what the hell is OL going to do with the hull if they're not going to sell it?

COMMITED TO THE LOONEY BIN!:lolhit:

HERES A PHOTO. WASH YOUR HANDS FIRST. CYA. BATHHOUSE BLUES.

COULD USE IT FOR RUNWAY AT HOT BOD CONTEST LIKE THE DELAMINATED CIG BULLET AT HOOLIGANS, FT APACHE. MIGHT BE B4 YOUR TIME. ADIOS.

I think that some Chinese company will buy it, splash it and sell the copys at Walmart.

:lolhit:

Actually yes, it was before my time...But I did hear stories:drink:

Cold War will be running rough water long after you've delaminated. Here's a pic for you!

Uhhhh, apparently not......:confused:

Roger , just because Cold War has been de rigged doesn't mean it won't be bought and re rigged.
Ed

CANT BEAT THE TEST OF TIME. WHICH BOAT DO YOU THINK WILL BE RE- RIGGED FIRST YOURS OR THE COLD WAR. GOTTA GO 4 A BOAT YOU KNOW. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON YOURS? R U AFRAID OF THE WATER. CYA.

I go with Cold War. LOL!

If Your Boat Ran Half As Fast As Your Mouth, You Might Have Something To Talk About.

See, now I think we are finally talking. LOL!

True. There has to be someone out there with more money than sense.

I WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING LOL ABOUT. WAITING FOR THE NEW THREAD.....DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS COLD WAR BOAT. AND THE BEAT GOES ON.

so let me get this straight....

1.. rich russian gives McMoron 2 mil to build big boat
2... McMoron builds 800k boat and pockets the rest
3.. boat run like chit
4... not even finished owner trades and /or strips it at OL

does this sum it up?

It could always be used for a planter at the memorial.

Don't leave out...
Girlie Man dreamer has another anxiety attack and needs to jack up his self image by attempting to demean his betters. LOL!

MY ROOSKIE FRIENDS REALLY LIKE APACHE. NEEDED PLASTIC SURGERY TO GET THE SMILES OFF THEIR FACES. 2 OUTTA 3 AIN'T BAD. CYA.
