Well, first off, I really like to stay off the water while you and the rest of the amateurs are out there...
Besides that, I had family obligations. But if it makes you feel any better, while you're toiling over the tax returns today, I'm headed out to the lake. |

This powerboat has been around for some years, and was advertised on OSO for what I thought was a low number.

Today was a beautiful day in our old Apache at LOTO. Wouldn't have wanted to have been anyplace else..

Caught WL at Shady Gators on Sunday. Complimented Trav on the boat and took a couple shots of it. Looks great.

Hey man, I'll trade you a ride in my Skater for a ride in White Lighting? I'm from Grand Lake and a friend/customer of Brads as well. Let me know! :drink:
Oh, and on what to call it, I think it's a Cousin of the 41 Apache. :cool-smiley-011: |

wow guys! We are currently running 588's with BDS PRO LOCk front discharge.They are Brad Smith motors.I rig maintain wrench it however you wanna say it. We also went with the MEFI- 5 system (waterproof) utilizing one coil per cylinder,this eliminates spark skatter that starts around 5000rpm. Look at glass girls video you can see how we hung them off the back of the blowers. RPM has all the pictures. OH and as stephen will tell you so far this is the only 1!!!
You as the rigger and the pictures of reference? Majority of the pictures are the original rigging prior to your ownership. Allot of hours where put into that rig for all the hard plumbing etc. and credit is due to that individual. Also most of the pictures in the biggining are prior to you owning it also. It's a cool rig, glad you bought it, glad your maintaining it, also aware you are taking care of the rigging from this point forward that goes along with maintaining it. But the video is misleading in the aspect that it's all you. As far as the boat,..........I don't think anyone claimed it was ever an Apache. It may have heritage of the Apache but many changes that make it uniquely it's own. Jon |

Brad Smith and I have stayed up many nights,all night, trying to make her better,we have worked our asses off while everyone else was sleeping/partying whatever! 4. Brad and I have done way more to her than people probably think,or know! If you have noticed I say very little.....seee yaaaa |
ever fix the rear bulkhead from when it was re-uhpolstered?
someone used a jig saw and cut the core out to make more room for the seats and uhpholstery RChevelle71 and I saw that and almost cried at the jack job some people will do. Trav, I tried to keep your name out of this for privacy reasons, especially on youtube The video was made by FREEZEFRAME, Jeff Gerrardi made the video and its for sale on his website. J |

If you have noticed I say very little.....seee yaaaa Thanks for the response,.....that clears a few things up cause the video is cool but I don't like the message it conveys. I realize you say little and I know all about the work end of it, have way to many of those nights myself. Not sure why this thread even started, again nobody ever claimed Apache. If memory serve's me it has a narrower beam too? Anybody that spends close to a Million for a new plug, mold, narrower beam, bonded hull etc. was interested in making a MARK in the offshore world, not being a fake. The boat rocks and the name suits it, to bad they didn't make more of them. Enjoy it cause you have one of a kind and it's built like it should be. Jon |
like I said in the initial write up, it does NOT have a narrower beam, Its got no rub rail, and no flares on the sides where the apaches rub rail bolts to, by taking those items off the boat and making a smooth transition from the deck to the hull, it is narrower as a measurement but the hull remains the same
its 3 3/4 inches narrower, the exact measurements are in the initial write up I did at the beginning of this thread. No one read anything I wrote in the beginning of this thread at all. Like I wasted my time |
