The boat was NOT a new built. Due to the fact the everything was replaced, and the deck was taken of they modeled it as a new boat with new Hin numbers. IMO I like the paint designed it had before. One thing about how it now it's very detailed. I see this boat A LOT as Elias lives in the canal next to mine. I know he's opened to offers NO where near what he was asking for it 2 yrs ago along with all his other toys

That is interesting. What was it called b/4 the redo?

Beautiful build but lots of faster boats out there for same money. Buyer has to really love Apaches!

The boat and truck was in Dupont Reg for $1.2

I believe the hull is new. Just the deck was reused. Elias of course, would certainly know. But, I do not know him personally (to pose the question).

Here is a detailed video on the boat/build narrated by the owner: http://apachepowerboats.com/videos.php

Elias presents himself as an intellegent, articulate man. He really gets deeply involved in the project. I enjoyed the comment "The 47 Apache is not the fastest powerboat out there, but it will probably be the fastest in 7' to 8' seas". That is one of Apache Powerboats strong points, a couple of others being build quality and safety.

I believe even in the video it states the hull was put back into the mold, not a new hull though. A lot of times they put boats back into the mold because it's easier to replace all the stringers and bulkheads, its the easiest way to keep the boat straight.

Or, when there are so many changes being made (because of the extreme custom nature of the build) a new hull is deemed the more prudent path to follow. It seems to be an interesting point pertaining to "Spirit of Apache"

You can run one of those 47's through anything. They are built and ride like a tank! If I'm correct, there was an ad with an apache in stormy weather offshore.
