2002 Apache Brave

Hello Tribe- Well the deal is done. I took delivery Friday the 17th of my wonderful new 2002 Apache Brave from the legend Mel Riggs. My Dad, Troy and I did the final shake down run and adjustments Friday on Lake Winnebago. I am from the Oshkosh area and have known Mel all my life, so getting this unbelieveable boat from Mel was/is over the top. Troy introduced me to Magnum Mark at Mr. Marine. Awesome guy also. I live in Roswell, GA now so Lake Lanier is going to be our new playground. Yesterday and today I was buzzing around the lake already. Very nice lake just a little different than what I am used to.

Congrats, is that a composite 28 Apache?

Does the hull ID start with APH? Was it the last one built?

Again Thank You guys

Composite- Bobby said very little wood and more composite.

Yes from what everyone has said its the last 28 footer they made. Maybe 1 of the last ones made on 188th st.?.?.?

502 mags with bravos and 1.36 ratios.

YES its an APH hin.

The sequence is #100.

Very clean, its been sitting in Mel's shop since he got it. I picked it up with 3 or so hours on it. Now I have 8.1 hrs on it.

I have the orignal MSO. I was the 1st registered owner. I think this might have been the LAST NEW APACHE SOLD.
