Apache Trader 41
 

Does anyone have any photos of the 41' Apache Trader Race boat, when it was racing? I believe the boat was all yellow with a Headress down the side, with a black interior, and a yellow fairing. This boat was run with Stotler power. I think it raced in Marathon and also Michigan, not sure about where else.

It's the Firewater 41 nowadays still maintained by Herb.

I know, I spoke with Herb and he doesn't have any photos of when it raced either. Boat is now silver and pictures are on Herb's website. Do you have any photos of when it raced? A friend of a friend was on the "Apache Trader" team and would like a photo of the boat, over the years all his photos were lost/misplaced.

I Think I have the only little blurry picture on the docks that circled here. As least couldn't find anyother on my computer...
You might try Freezeframe Jeff & co.

go to www.seriousoffshore.com apache section I saw some there

That picture was posted by me, it is the only one that I have ever seen and it is not very clear at all. Hopefully someone else has more.

Wow no one has any photos of this race boat that are digital...

Seems it's been too fast with the Stotlers ;)

This was the us-1 boat? There is a video of it on you tube back in the day.

There's different opinions on if it is it or not.
There's a few "important" details differing that are similar on other boat(s)....
But until proven otherwise I'd say it's not the one.

If you' re referring to this one it's not US-1 but Yellow Warpath.

But was BobbyS referring as the Rabbit as the Yellow warpath or US-1?

Type in "key west apache" on youtube If you can post the video thanks.

does this work for you the one above did for me ?

It's the Youtube "Apache 41 Yellow Rabbit" clip by knotproper

http://youtu.be/tlyg3TN5hVN yellow warpath had the exhaust in the deck not the transom.

I think apache trader wound up being the black firewater boat which is now silver and at stotlers shop.

Correct and still does. The little pic I got from "Apache trader" doesn't show the rear good enough to tell how it's set up.. the Headress is the same as the US-1 but there's still variables. Also exhaust has been changed in Predator for example to different places so not a definitive clue there either.
Yes we know the "Apache Trader" has been Firewater and is at Herb's now. It has a different fairing than the other 4(?) Yellow ones for example.

How many yellow boats were made? star chaser, predator, us-1, apache trader, yellow warpath. ????? How many had head dress down the side? I thought only two 1 was us-1 and star chaser. Star Chaser had a short head dress because ben kramer said you cant copy mine and agreed on a short one.

5 yellow boats 4 headdresses what you guys dont pay attention in class we have covered this in intro to apache long ago

You beat me to it Sean, correct 4 different headresses and Thanks Sean for clearing the boat number way back!

But how many bolster types/ colours , and fairings, exhaust configs etc ;).... all this can be altered thou.

This is Firewater back a few years ago not sure if it was really the Trader boat or not.....

The 5 yellow boats were
Warpath
US-1
StarChaser
WideBody Apache
all the above had head dresses

Predator was yellow with no headdress but redator down the side in yellow

What about Jennys Express...yellow and race config although not raced?

That would be the 45 Miami- N.Y. boat Harrah' s

Yes and I am wondering if that is the green Apache hull on Craigs list

this one

I'd say no as the boat had a flatdeck..this one's raised ? and the lenght is stated a foot off but errors do happen. I lean more on the 44 MSV ?? BobbyS should know... as he's the S in MSV.

I am trying to find a side shot of the yellow one now

do you have to be a member to attach pictures? I think i have pictures of all 5 yellow boats

yes and I have pics of all the boats as well

here you go

Not sure if this is the Trader boat you are talking about as I cant remember this number being on the yellow boats unless this was after the auctions

Forgive me if I have my wires crossed here

here is a shot of predator transom courtesy of LittleNige

Mee Too In fact I have all these you posted ;)

It also had running in P2 later on 4-2-1 dry pipes running thru the deck...check the 1st pick of yours..

I Believe this is a pick of US-1 racing in England.

It could very well be I wonder where "The Rabbit" is now!!!!

Bump for apache trader US1 Now silver. Beleve .007 boat build

Ive been told Apache Trader/Fire Water has again been redone and is now all silver ... anyone have any info on it ?
