Fastest Apache Cat & V?
 

Whats the fastest Apache Cat and V any length?

I will guess:
V was RDS?
CAT was/is Warpaint?

How fast was the wooden 41 cat that Ben raced in 86?

V...probably Kemosabe. Steve Nykamp would know the speed. Beautiful Apache!

How fast was Little Ceasars back in the day? Originally with tripples and then retro fitted with twins......

Ed is probably right Kemosabe and Predator are the 2 fastest at the moment probably within a mile or two of each other!!!! Cat is probably Warpaint I don't remember how fast Benny's cat was back then but for him to go from that to a Cougar which was the Eric's Reality boat probably says a lot!!!!!

RDS only ran 105ish Little Caesars in the same ball park maybe touched 110 on its best day!!!! I dont believe it has been wet since being converted to a twin

What about Apache Heritage? Also Sean what happened to the original 47 that Ben race the one in your avatar?

What about INXS?

JH Electric

How is StarChaser doing these days? Cool boat.

Kemosabe? really, what does that run?

118+

The original 47 is in NJ somewhere Kemo was like 115+

the old quick tempered 47 went 117-121 with 1350's and 6's on boxes. here is a not so great vid of it...

Never..maybe with tripple 1350's

Pretty impressive, any 41's with 1350's on 6's

the boat was 8600 lbs bare hull, search the posts on here under the name joker. there is a gps shot of it...

Dunno, i do know the JH electric boat was in the high 1 teens when paul lasossa owned it, i think with todays technology if someone spent the time and money a few of the 41's would be in the teens as well.

Excellent speed! Plus the rough water capability.........that's an impressive powerboat!

It was my friends boat and the work was done by Outerlimits and Steve Lopez of Legacy Marine. Don't think the boat ever ran faster than 117. It is now owned by Joe from NJ on the boards. Yes it did have 1300 Sterlings.

Kemosabe is very impressive! I drool every time I see her. John has a beautiful boat.

Sean,

What about this 47'...........116 mph (post 111)

Jon

The fastest that boat ran was 117.

Maybe but I would probably say the following possible but not probable!!!

:bsflag::bsflag::bsflag::bsflag:

I think to show the world the truth, we need some videos with gps confirmation of these speeds to end the controversy. Who wants to start?
DR. G

We re-fitted the Quick Tempered boat from tripples,ran 90's at best , to twin sterling's 1100hp. and ran 117 mph in 2-3 footers for a 47' Apache that's not bad.RDS was a 45' one of the only few built. You can check out the 47' on our web site legacycustommarine.com under restorations :)

Steve did you guys ever do the restoration of the 48 foot Jesse James? What happened with that?

Y'all did a beautiful job on that boat. Congrats!

I believe Kemosabe was on my left leaving Gilberts a year ago. Anyone confirm?

Confirmed. That is Kemosabe.

Yeppers that is Kemo

Even from that angle the deck on Kemosabe looks long. Love that look!

It is a long mofo.:drink:

From the man himself, "all the 47's were built differently, kemosabe has the longest deck and furthest back cockpit". if you have a few of them side by side the cowl will be in a diff location. pretty cool the way they were custom built for the owners.

What year was Kemosabe built?

1990

Over 2 decades old & still looks great!

Like I said the King of the 47's

Sean what happened to the 47 in your avatar?

I'm sure exceptional care is taken. My buddy got a ride this past summer at a pokerrun and I'm jealous. It's a beautiful piece and I look forward to finally meeting John and maybe Lee next summer. I have the lone PP so I'm out of the loop LOL.
