Apache 28 Brave Resoration Pics
 

here are some shot of my boat I recently got from my friend doing the resto work on the boat.

Dash wainting for paint and prep, and the old badly done wireing!

some of the clear coat work and repaint of the top deck. More pics soon

some more pics

Keep them coming. Love to see these boat restored!!!

Wht are you putting in it for power?

If you need gauges, rigging or anything, let me know!!

Yes please keep us up on how it's going love the step by step pics. Thanks

O man that wiring looks horrible. I wonder if yours was rewired for some reason. Let me know if you need some pics, mines still pretty clean. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for offering me help with the wiring, but the wiring is not too bad, its just dusty in the pic, but the fues block, running of the wires and all the radio wiring is shot, so are some of the hose and lines. I will have more recent pics soon, I am still in Florida.

Keep 'em comin'. :cool-smiley-011:

Hmmmmmm......I'm about 25 minutes from your boat.:party-smiley-004:

Please tell me about the starboard corner fairing. It looks like you took a big chunk out of it, did the cracks run pretty deep? Was the port side the same way?

Go check it out, it is in Pottstown, Pa, at Denny's Corvette Resto's, the owner is a great guy and would love the company, happy hour is after 4:00. The cracks were large, but he told me it had a mold defect, he knows bests, I just go with it. the top should be repainted next week, along with all the graphics, new Apache logo on the top/ front winshield, and apache logo on rear, and Apache logo on front and rear, new carpit.

Looks good. Going to have a nice one when its done.

here are some more pics, just got the white laid down, next is graphics

Are you in delaware now?

yes I am back in Delaware now, just got back.

last one for now

Are you just painting the deck or the whole boat? In my opinion that would look sweet all white with an Apache badge on the side in the rear!!!:cool-smiley-011: Just my .02 cents

Viperfitness1 has some real cool $hit on his thread...heres one of the badges:cool-smiley-011:

No, I am leaving most of the Factory Graphics on the Boat, I want to leave it original, we did remove the Stripes around the windshield. I thought About all White, but decided to leave it alone.

Either way I'm sure it will look great. Hope to see you down the bay this year. keep us posted.....or maybe I'll go take some shots of her since the doc just sentenced me to 2 more weeks of recovery:angry-smiley-038:

go check it out later today, he will have the new logo on the front, new Indian Head logo on front and back, and the old graphics relayed on the top of the boat.

thanks! i just came up with this one last night

i thought about a caption that says "f*ck new school!"

Thats pretty good viper, never a dull moment :evilb:

Apache Brave - thats pretty much exactly what I'm going to need done to mine. Any word yet on what all that cost. I would like to leave the hull sides of mine all original as well. I guess because its an original gail pak custom design and people will recognize the boat because its been all over the country. Just last month I talked to a guy here on OSO who mentioned he knew someone with a apache that was painted like mine. Suprise, small world that was my boat and I learned a little more history. I also think that overtime IF the original paint can be preserved it will be worth more IMO.

Highlight of my day watching viper's and your 28 apache being restored. Thanks

I should have pics of the graphics and paint tonight or in the morning, Thanks Andy for the compliments.
