Stinson the one he keeps talking up has 750's (persume he's talking about exciter because that's the only one I know of with 750's). Hence The LOL. Your post only affirms he has no idea what he is talking about. Thanks...

Sorry, my pet peeve is people that ask a question and then know everything. Better yet, claim they are buying or have bought something and come to find out it was all BS. Reminds me of Darr.

Baywatch, I only go by what the owner of ExcitR told me about how fast his boat ran. I never said with a fact that it would run mid 80s all day long. That comes from the owner,as far as buying a boat I am still looking and I am going down to Mark Adams shop and over to McManus next month.

How about some place a little more neutral and without your 2 partners???

Exactly why I suggested in the other thread not to believe everything you hear. ;)

People always blow up speeds, it's dock racing. In some cases, when there's a personal agenda, they downplay the speeds to put a negative spin on things... Case in point, the Chief has always run upper 90's, not low 90's like was posted in the other thread. Call bob Saccenti, he'll share with you the real speed numbers on that boat. Heck, my Apache 36' run's upper 80's with 800's and I constantly get feedback from other people that my boat runs in the 90's...go figure..

As far as a 41' Apache. My friend owned Apache Warrior and I also did some mechanical work on it a few times. It was a full-cabin 41' pleasure with short-stagger and 750's. The boat ran mid 70's regularly and upper 70's with a pair of expensive Herring labbed props all stretched out... :drink:

Thank you to everyone, I stand corrected!!!!

Doesn't sound like we are going to have that drink are we????

I was thinking maybe at the FL boat show early next year. I'll drop ya a line and make sure you are down there. Sound good??

KCSteve, Brett was right on the step. It is bonded onto the bottom of the boat. It was designed by Bobby Moore, and is the exact step that was used on the F2 38 Top Guns. You should get in touch with Bobby Saccenti if you are curious about it. I understand if you are a purest it is probably not your thing.

I have spent MANY hours on this boat. It used to have #3's on it. Since the addition of the #6's the boat has really come in to its own. It is nimble, and feels like a knife in the water.

Thanks for that info,Sean had told me the same thing.I am going to look at a couple of Apaches in Miami next month (in addition to NASCAR) and hope to be down to a short list when I come back. I had a gentleman tell me about another 41 Apache that is for sale that is not advertised anywhere which is also something I am looking going to look at out east. Thanks to everyone for their input it has been a great help.

Sounds good!!!!
