Thanks, I really thought there was another company building them for a while. So Commanchie was just a new name for the same Co.? You now more than me thanks for the info.

All these OSO members that claim to know so much and I have yet to get a straight answer:(

I'm sorry Cherokee is the name I was trying to remember. Thanks for clearing that one up, thats why I ask you, you have the correct info and I want it right :D

I always was under the assumption that Eric was building the Commanche :party-smiley-004:

Without re-hashing all that is here in the Apache section already...

Ben & Bobby parted ways before Ben got hooked. Apache's assets were seized by Federal authorities and a receiver was appointed- almost identically to what happens in a bankruptcy. But in this case, since Ben was in jail, his production manager, Mark McManus continued operating the company just as it was. The Feds wanted to extract some value from the place and it was a viable, ongoing, profotable business with employees. McManus eventually purchased the operations from the Feds. Never did the Federal government operate Apache or build boats.

There's alot more nonsense that goes along with Apache history. Start at the first post in this forum and read them all. You'll know at least half of the story anyway.

Now I'm confursed. I thought that the feds owned Apache during the late 80's through the early 90's, with B Saccenti running operations.

My hull ID starts with APH. When did the feds own apache, specifically what build years?

if you want info about apache boats
just call Bob Seccenti. I am sure he knows more about apaches than anyone on here.

From a business perspective I would think that they would keep the "star employee" around to run things with hopes of selling Apache as an operating business rather than materials and half finished boats.

I was under the impression that the star employee built the boats 41' and over and Bobby continued to build his 36's and 28's and then one day in 2004 he found out that the star employee had purchased the trademark for peanunts out from under his nose.

I'm just a dumb kid and correct me if my interpretation is incorrect. I would definately take the word of Chris over John. John just started posting two weeks ago and Chris has proven his knowledge of the brand for years.

No, Big John never actullay said the Feds built boats. So read what was said if you can.

Yea theres alot of dumb kids on here, I wouldnt take anybodies word on here. I think Bob Seccenti knows more about Apache's than Chris and you. So believe what you want to believe.

This is just a bunch BS.
