41 or 46?
 

what do you guys think is a better all around deal doller for doller, 41 apache or 46 rough rider?

41 Apache.............

41.... ask the same question in cig forum and see what you get

Pamella or Carmen .....lol

Split it go cat......

The 47 is all but un-manageable and un-affordable for mere mortals. Tough to tow and you need a big truck. Rack storage is going to be just about unavailable everywhere but S. Florida. Either three big engines or two monster engines that will have a daily competition of what it can consume faster- parts or gas. And unless you boat on the Great Lakes or an ocean, the upside is non-existant. On anything but the ocean, ther upside only exists a couple days a year.

But the 47 Apache is, as Jules said in Pulp Fiction...

"...the one that says Bad Motherf.ucker".

Chris, question compared a 46 RR to a 41 Apache even though you are 100% right on with your paragraph on the 47 Apache.

Missed the RR. Not much difference though- although definitely a bit lighter.

Here is a little story-

Two years ago we went on a poker run in the Chesapeake Bay.Over 90 boats and some parts were a little rough,but not bad at all.We were in the Apache and at the lunch stop we over heard some guys that were in a new 46' Cigarette Rough Rider say "how rough it was and that they were all beat-up".
My wife and I and the couple that was with us,just smiled.

There's your sign-

Had a story told to me by a long time Apache owner. He said you never want to own a boat that won't fit in your driveway and that needs a crew to launch. That would be a 47 Apache for me. A 41 would be my limit on what I would want to own/maintain.

i guess lenght isn't everything........................ everything being equal.
