By the way, I think we were there on the Daytona poker run with you. We were running with Philly in a brand new Gladiator. It was around 07. Outside was HUGE and too big for 99% of the participants. We all ran up the inside (which was actually a blast as most everyone didn't really follow the speed limits and Stu got in all kind's of trouble lol). But did hear there were a couple of boats that ran outside.

What HP are the new motors putting out?

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to do that interview. Fantastic. Hope to see you in KW.

It was a fun conversation with Nick. I would not have been able to do all the Apache stuff I did without the help of Mark Adams at Marine Management! He was and still is a great contact to get things done!! John Pompi had a huge roll in the TomTom boat. and Michael Friedman for being the awesome tour guide thru the Keys!! We had some really good times and some stressful ones! Hurricane Michelle in '01 Key West was a test on all boats that were there!

TomTom has a pair of 1000HP Innovation Marine engines. The boat has an awesome cruise speed!! 65 @ 3500. Thanx you for your kind comments on the project! CHEERS!!

Beautiful sunset last night! 9/29

That is one beautiful boat! Thanks for sharing!

Padraig

old skool American made beauty!

Absolutely gorgeous boat!

Hey Robert, who’s doing the restoration on the trailer? Any update. For what it’s worth, we did our trailer last year and added stairs on the front. Sure does make it a whole lot nicer getting in and out of the boat.

And a big thanx to my buddy Nate who drove all night to help me get the boat off the lift and go for its 1st ride in years!! Sadly it wasn’t on its own power! TowBoat did an amazing job as well!

Robert,
Did the lift function properly after all those years sitting? Can only imagine the possible adventure in and of itself getting it off the lift.
