Apache Yacht
 

Hi all Apache fans. You may want to go check out the site of Apache2 at http://www.apache2yacht.com/ . Check out the history section, you may find some legacy that lead to a great yacht project. Also, if you want to have a great summer vacation in Europe, the yacht is on charter. Its a fast hull, capable of running up to 40Mph in pure luxury.

Happy Holidays Omar!
Ed

Happy New Year to you Ed!

Awesome charter boat, The Don would be proud! :)

Where is her home port?

She is cruising between Italy and France at the moment,her permanent mooring is in Italy in the port of Varazze at the Baglietto yard where she was built.

Omar, that yacht is gorgeous! Could use a new Apache Powerboat tender! (just a thought) LOL!

LoL ED, I did ask for a quote from Apache but two 20footers cost the price of a 40 footer!

A couple of 20's!! Pricey I'm sure, but diamonds nonetheless. Perfectly complimenting a yacht of that caliber.

Ed you seem to always have great ideas that make people say 'I wish I had thought of that'. Well done! :)

Thanks Cat

Anybody check out the 43 wellcraft portifino that Saccenti restored? Its for sale at yachtworld. Pretty nice.

I was on it when he was working on it, all i can say is that the old man still got it! :D

There are 27 43s on that site. Which one is it??

Probably one of ones for sale in South Florida. :lolhit:

I could not find it on there. Anybody got the link?

Holy HELL!! That is exactly what I need to do to MINE!
Bobby is the Man.

Thanks

I was on it when He was working on it as well. It sure turned out nice. I would expect nothing less from "The Chief".

Looks like the price was lowered from $250,000 to $99,000.


I live on my 43 Portofino now, I love this boat TONS of room and she is/was way ahead of her time in style and comfort.

What is the story on this Portofino? Who is the guy who did all the work?

Does the wellcraft portifino have a solid fiberglass hull or is it cored?

It was totaly gutted and restored by Bob Saccenti.

I believe it is solid fiberglass.

The damn thing is overbuilt......the engine room is huge for an express cruiser and very wide beam.

The hull mold was from Bertram. No complaints so far with the boat. I love mine.

I asked Bob if He had any before pictures of His Portofino project that He would like to share and He sent these for me to post.

Some cabin shots....

Helm shots....

Looked like a fun project. I would love to get into restoration like this when I retire. Thanks for the pics!

Check your PM's....


Wellcraft actually built a solid boat when they made the Portofino. I still think today its a lot of bang for the buck.

Got it...

Roger it would help if you made the pics enlargeable...

I tried, I just couldn't make it happen. Any suggestions? I tried enlarging them and they just get fuzzy.

Hell I can't even post pics I'm not really the guy to ask. Hopefully somebody will chime in here and help yiz out.

I currently own the portofino Bobby restored. Great boat! He restored the boat for a close friend of mine who owned the boat since new, I bought it from my friend. Was repowered with 496HO inboards. Tons of room and very good in seas.

I wish I would have seen that helm shot before we redid ours!
We love our Fino. Great boat with lots of room. I am pretty sure we used the same flooring in our cabin as above.

This is what we did on our 87.
