It depends on the renewal. And with the economy in the shape it's in (new powerboat building in particular) isn't the most lucerative endeavor.

It's been said the molds were leased so if that's true they could have pulled an exact copy and you can wipe your azz with the laws.. lol

Add Sabre into the mix...they bought the molds... Matter of fact, there were a LOT of molds that were sold by the gooberment and others that were/are being used. Besides, the hull is antequated.

Fact remains, it's a really nice boat and the updated deck lines are pretty nice in my opinion.

Later!

And that should be the way it is, it is what is is, a one off custom boat, just like cobras were AC's with Shelby doing his thing to it.

Maybe so. I hope this whole powerboating deal isn't a last off. A lot of manufacturers have quite a few boats sitting. Let's see what the future brings.

Forget about trying to say it is a better layup, McManus Apache Powerboats are proven.
You should reread my post. The word "IF" is in there and IF it was the same with better lay up it would be better. You don't have to post I'm right I already know.
