Someone explain to me the refit on Tsunami...
 
I don't get it. It was bad azz the way it was so why do all the work? I don't think it changed owners. Did he just get bored?

My main question is, if you look at pics, it originally had a cabin. The after pics shows no cabin entrance and a true 6 pack with added dash to the port side. So did they ditch the cabin for weight purposes?

And I can't believe none of you Apache freaks (:drink:) have any pics of the process...WTF?!

As I understand it, the owner's wife no longer goes on this boat with him. Therefore, no more need for a cabin.

As for the rest of the refit: he updated the motors from 900's to 1200's if I recall correctly; added an air drying / filtration system for clean air to the engine compartment; updated the cockpit upholstery to the current cool colors in St. Tropez; and, had the exterior paint updated to match one of his cars.

I'm sure there is someone else with more info.

Would this have something to do with the wife not wanting to run on it anymore!!??:eek::grinser010:

Thanks for the info.

Anyone have pics of what the cabin used to look like?


It's a killer boat. I like it the way it is now but think it was perfrect before.

Just a point of personal interest for me, because I know every design has an absolute top speed reguardless of power input. Apache's strength is it's rough sea keeping abilities & tremendous build quality.........not top speed.

300 hp more per side and less weight and not much speed gain? I find that a little improbable wouldn't ya think?

MegaByte*3 04-29-2010 01:47 PM

I do not have figures for the speed increase, but I would expect significant improvement. Especially in acceleration.

I would love to hear why you think Tsunami would be for sale. I don't purport to know anymore than the next guy, but I have not heard anything about this boat going up for sale.

Acceleration is always a welcome improvement........
