Curious about the name Tom Tom. I read in the article the owers name was Tom, but wondering if the boat ever named Tom Tom, or was it just something that stuck.
very cool boat

Apache whatever.
Its still a old heavy dog that needs a minimum of a $100 Grand just in machinery to even begin to bring it to what it was if it has not had water sitting in it.
Even if it has not the combination of humidity, rainwater and it has been sitting on that lift less than a 1/4 mile from the Gulf for 10years without moving spells disaster..
You have to Pickle motors down here if your not going to use them for a couple years if you live within a few miles from the Gulf , or their frozen Junk..
If someone gave you the boat and $20t thousand to take it you would be much further ahead buying a nice running twin step Cig with 750s and some XRs that will run triple digits effortlessly .
