Joining the ranks of the Apache owners!
 

Well i did it! After reading these forums about every apache 41 on the market for some time now, i finally decided to jump in. Scott Shogren gave me a deal i couldn’t refuse on the apache 41 at Shogren Marine. Owning an Apache 41 has been a dream of mine for many years and the time has finally come. im so excited i can barely contain myself and i somehow find a way to let everyone who i have a conversation with know i have an apache powerboat now! i plan on new paint and interior right off the bat with this boat and im sure #6's aren’t far behind. i really appreciate everyone’s opinions in this forum and it helped me make the biggest powerboat decision yet. so i would just like to thank all of you for helping (rather you know it or not). And any more help or suggestions will be greatly valued

Andy

Good Luck Andy....you're gonna love it !!

Congrats ! :party-smiley-020:

Congratulations! You will absolutely love that boat without a doubt. Please be sure to post some pictures when you get some and keep us posted on the updates. Hopefully you live somewhere where you can use it right away, but for most of us this is as close to boating as we will get for a few months, so please keep us posted

congrats!!!! That looked to me to be a great deal.:ernaehrung004:

That's awesome! Congrats and welcome to the family!!! :evilb:

You will love the boat without a doubt. We've only had ours a short time and can't wait for summer!!! In the meantime, we'll click on videos and pray for a short winter.

Thanks a lot! im throwing around some new names for the Apache. Of course, we will go through the proper name change ceremony and party that ensues. But i live in Oklahoma and have plenty of time to wrestle details with the boat before i actually get to use it. Here’s two names that i am tossing around: (No Reservations) or (Me Chief, You Ingines) not sure how to spell Ingines or Engines. what do you guys think?

Well kiss my grits. I've just closed the deal on a 28 apache (http://www.offshoreonlyclassifieds.c...o18918-en.html) and my name is Andy and it will stay in OK. So there are two OSO members, both named andy, both closed on an Apache during the same week, and both boats are going to OK. Thats just too strange. Congrats. Any chance the boat will be coming to Texoma?

I'll post some pics when I take delivery.

texoma huh? we will be in catfish bay several times this coming year, of course last year was a waist and no one got to enjoy the lake that much but hopfully this year will be different. congrats on your apache too and hopefully we can hook up this coming year and compare the two

What's in the water down there in Texas?? Andy....Apache....you see a trend here????:D

Lets definately meet up. Last year my boating time was reduced to fishing off a craig cat, but I was on the water and thats all that mattered. My family has a house up there. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...d.php?t=173027 this thread shows exactly where on the lake. I'm really excited about the summer. With two apache's on the water it will be one to remember. I can't wait.

just let me know and we will get together. we are planning lake havasu for spring break. very exciting!

Congrats and welcome to the tribe to the both of you. If you ever get up to LOTO Shoot me a PM and we will have to meet up and run together.

I doubt if I will make it to your home turf this next season because my Son is still pretty young for pleasurable towing adventures, but by the 09 season we should do more trailering.

Don't forget to post lots of Pics.

thanks so much!

hey we will be at loto this year probably more than once! a good freind of mine was telling me about your boat this year. his name is Brian Tharp with boat city prop shop (you might know him?). we were discussing apache boats a few months ago and he kept bring your boat up. i seached google for pics of your boat and never found any untill today. i just realized who you are when i seen a pic of the back of your boat. i used to live around loto for about 3 years and am a party cove vet but have been there in a couple of years. its nice to finally see what he was talking about! NICE BOAT!

I believe your buddy's wife or girlfriend gave me a business card last spring when they where next to me at the intersection of 54 and Nichols RD. I remember I was towing the boat and a car pulled up next to us and a women hopped out and handed my wife a business card through the passenger side window. I might actually get my props tuned up come spring so I will keep him in mind ( lots of debris in the water last spring).

We usually have our kid with us so we don't see a whole lot of party cove these days but we do a lot cruising around and coving out in more family friendly areas. Be sure and shoot me a PM when You come up to visit. Here's a pic of us from this fall so you know what we look like.

Congrats, I like that boat and was able to get a close look at it while it was sitting at Dave Wesseldyk's shop for a rebuild of the engines last winter. Of course I like the engines too!

Congrats on owning a truly legendary boat!

Congrats on a great boat:D
