Here you can see how DC's transom used to look.
May still be the same? |
REALLY? Who gives a sh!t how the boats sit in the water! They are ALL rough water weapons! Each built individually. Can't we just all get along and be glad we are OWNERS of a piece of history! enough said.

you fill the boat with fuel + the motor weight it will sit lower in the water you have 80gal tanks in the rear. my 41 apache is a race boat witch would be lighter.apaches are the best offshore boat ever made i have bin in many of power boats and owned three 41 apaches and they all ride different .i went for a ride in a 46 cigarette and my 41 apache runs better in big water

Back to the tread, boat looks a lot better then when I was in it in France. Wish it was still factory fresh and running as SAM.

Here's some of it when it was SAM.....it was built for somebody in France originally and I believe it went through Mercurio's hands when originally sold!!!

Hammerhead is a Carbon/Kevlar boat.

Hi Sean, Steve and Bubba. Little chilly here too. Little tidbit on Predator, was a number 5 boat when we bought it to race, put sixes on later with 1,000hp motors and boat still ran awesome. But the boat was 10,000 with fuel weighed on the crane at the Marathon race so probably not a good example of anything on how boat sits. Amazingly that boat, being that light ran like a scalded dog in flat water but still ran like a 41 in rough. What a great hull design! I still want one.
We had to do fiberglass after every race too, pretty much was designed as a one season boat that light. I might have Hammerhead to sell very soon. Anything I need to know besides what was said? Carl |
Did you notice any difference with the performance, speed, handling, etc going from 5's to 6's?
|
We put more horsepower in too so I cannot give you a perfect answer. But figure you will lose some speed going to sixes, maybe not much if they are dry sump. The boat handled much better in turns and trimmed a little different. We did it mostly for reliability and size of the drive even though number five is pretty tough, parts may be scarce. Tommy at Chief could answer just about anything else.
|
I had three 41 apaches they all ride diffident two had #6 drives an one with #5 drives the #5 boat runs the best out of all three it has 950s runs 102 the #6 drive boat needed big power to move it 90mph the other #6 boat ran good just took 1350hp to move it 115mph
|
what trans. are in her now ? and does any one know the drive gear ratio of Hammerhead vs the Chief ? thks ps: HH wet 6's Chief dry?
