there was only one made, the rds kid apache boat. some people were saying that megatoy is a 45, but in reality I think it is a 42 Comanche with triples, done later by Mr. McManus.

1. apache heritage owned by Omar. although bow was cut down for visibility, it made the boat 47 ft, but it started as a 50.(pictured above) I may be wrong on the original starting length, if Omar pops on I can edit it...

I thought it was 47' cut down to 45???

you may be right, that's why i labeled it 50/47...i thought it was 50 and that's why they used the number 50 on the boat. maybe Bobby can shed some light on it.

Offshore racing back then was 150+ Miles with 13-18 boats in his class. PTM Express was one the best out there. Phil now owns a 41 Apache in NJ.

What speeds did that tripple 47 run when it was Lucky Strike?
