Tex always seems to find himself on the opposite side of any discussion he's involved in. He's Jayboat minus the idealism.

if you guys spent the time and energy you are wasting here jabbin each other on your boat projects, we might have some new pics to look at. Geeesh

A new pic for you. Since the thread was about this particular vessel.

Picking up the 28.

Picking on people over the internet is confusing...

on a good note, fund, Love that boat, good luck with it!!! keep everyone updated on the build

Thanks very much. I like it a lot. It is amazing in person. Traffic stopper. Bill and his guys did an outstanding job on the gel, paint, and cockpit. I tend to believe the legend of the low hours on the hull, based on overall condition. I am grateful to Bill for what he put into this boat cosmetically. No cracks, no blems, no dents, no scratches. It looked like we left the factory with it. I love the updates to the existing graphics package.
I look forward to the repower and especially the re-rig, which I intend to do myself.
First thing that will happen is a tear down of the two engines. I need to know what happened and why. Chances are highly unlikely that I will rebuild these.

Thanks again.

Fund, Stop argueing with that (insert whatever) and get it ready for next year. Great boat, I have been watching it from the first e-bay sale and hope to see it finished as it should be with you. Good luck and keep us posted

Thanks. It will be a fun process. I have gotten into these repowers before when they were unexpected. That's no fun. At all. It is painful. This will be enjoyable.

At first I wasn't sure about the paint scheme. But as soon as I saw it in person I knew that I wouldn't change it.

VERY GOOD POINT!

Andy, I do PWC's and Jet boat, I dont like to work on my own boat!!!!!. or keep spending money on something I dont think was right for me or my wallet!!! I think you are a good guy and you helped me find my money pit!! I do not believe my old Apache is any way as rough as your is, my boat was perfect except for the motors!!!, I have almost 26,000 in recipts to prove it!. I think all this back and forth is childish. I liked my Apache until the motors went up, I looked at the cost or repowering and what I had put into the boat and the numbers did not work.
