Spirit of Apache 4 Sale...
 

Went to the St. Pete boat show this weekend. Not much for high performance boating. More of your Fishing boats and Yachts.

They where handing out DuPont Registry for Boats. Was flipping through it and found a full page add for Spirit of Apache. Included in the sale is a custom F-650.. Asking price for package... $1.5m.

I figure that is not to bad for what he has into it. I didn't think it would be for sale but I guess everything has a price.

To bad we don't have Powerball Lottery in FL...:mad:

This boat is something......$1.5M.....wow wee!

I had heard right after it was finished it was available for 2m.

It is the sickest 47' built, but thats a lotttt of jingle.

A million five opens up alot of options, boating-wise.

It's like a giant custom home. If you've got the scratch, why settle for someone else's vision? For that kind of dough, a guy could have it entirely his way.

I would be the guy looking for 3 awesome boats for 1.5 million. With 3 you would hope atleast one would run when you wanted to go out! :D

I have seen the boat in person as well as seeing the build video on TV and it is an awesome boat. The only thing that is a bit out of place is the bimini top. I can appreciate the shade after living in FL for 20+ years but on that boat it looks funny.

I think that million-five would buy both of Gino's cats.

And have a pile of money to spare!

Yeah,,,, but you would still have a Cat !!!!

Not a Apache :drink::drink:

From what I know the boat sold a while ago, it is an amazing example of Mark's work.

I'd struggle through the disappointment somehow.

Myself, I liked it better before they painted it. Less is more.

Ditto Chris. While the new scheme is wow and wee, you can't beat the original scheme.

On the other hand, with everything they did to this boat, it's not like it's old any longer. :(

Chris, that was the second paint job, it looked great the first time also, round 3 is also very nice. One of the first owner used to keep her in St. Tropez, along with his 2 41's.

Now when I see a powerboat of the magnitude of Spirit off Apache, loaded with custom touches, not to mention the drivetrain! I say "That's awesome...How Much?" The answer of course is 1.5 million. That's where I run out of gas, because I am not financially in that bracket. If I was I certainly would give it a hard look. If I got a ride in it, I would buy it. If there is plenty of ink in your pen, write a check!

3@1300 hp each. I just want to hear them running n top.

:drool:

You and me both. I'd settle to hear it idling around the docks:D

OH MY GOD I need to be there.

Was that pic taken in FL or somewhere in the islands??? Nice pic.

I don't know but I am sitting up here in N.Y. and its freezing and snowing :eek: thats where I will be in my dreams tonite:rolleyes:

Cold and snowy here too! I'm with you cosmic....well, not with you....but you know what I mean! :eek::grinser010:

It was down to 66 for the high today here. Couple boats went by, guess they were trying to see if they still worked?

:boat:

Yeah, but you guys still have the possibility of boating yet, yes? It can get warm on a dime down there.

Here, warm in Dec through Feb is maybe 50....heatwave for us! :eek:

It was 29 last night and 66 today. Talk about a swing. It will be back into the low 30's again tonight.

A/C - Heat - A/C to heat. HVAC never takes a break.

Oh well it could be snowing.

I'll trade ya!

I'll give ya the weather for the boat. :D Ok just let me use it every once in a while.

This is where my huband will have to step in and fight you for it....but you're welcome anytime to come up to Lake Erie in the summer and go for a ride. Promise you won't be disappointed.

OOOHHHHH, now you are tempting me. :evilb::party-smiley-004:

Anytime Jeff you're in the area, just drop us a PM!

Cool. See you guys in the summer probably. Plan on putting some miles on the truck and trailer next season if work stays slow. Granted that I actually keep one of these boats.

I hope that's something we can do in the future is trailer and visit other places. Personally I want a hauler (similar to what they pull Lucky 7's with) to pull the boat, not just a truck.

You guys are way out of my leauge on that one.

No we're not! I said I'd like one......we can't afford one! :D There is a saying out there that goes something like "a girl can dream can't she?" :drink:

You have an Apache though. Not many can say that. :Score-101010:

I have a buddy who just bought an International 4400-based ambulance off of Ebay. Got it cheap and you know being an ambulance it was over-maintained. It's now painted all white and he gutted the inside. Plan is to put some seats and a TV in the back and re-do the driver's compartment. It'll make one hell of a nice tow vehicle for a fraction of a toter.

The thing is full of storage compartments.

You don't need 80 grand- just some ingenuity.

Cool idea :cool-smiley-011:

YESSSSSS!!! WE DO OWN AN APAPCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :party-smiley-048:


Never in our wildest dreams did we think we'd ever own one.....we're thrilled and proud to be Apache owners! :evilb:

Rob's already said he'll never sell that boat. I've reminded him to never say never. :eek:

Are those haulers or toters 80 grand???? :eek::eek::eek:

Rob better get his butt cleaning a lot more carpet and tile than he's been doing! :drink:

most are closer to 100k than 80k..
