Wish I could of found one like that. Worth $40-50K IMO, especially if you don't have to travel for it. Sounds like its in better than new condition. They went for $80-90K back in 1990; new will cost more than 3X that so your still getting a fair deal IMO. Might consider looking at 33 Ocean hawk CC or Cig Open Cafe if your looking for a little more bang for the buck, but still want to boat affordably and tow.

Are you talking about the one on boat trader? If it is thats the one I looked into about 3yrs ago or so, it had a wrap on it of a indian head and was aqua in color. Looks good. It appears he updated the gauges and controlls, cleand the bilge and did some other things. I can tell you a newer one would be about 3 to 4x that amount. When it was for sale last time, the cabin interior needed to be re done also. I wanted a much newer boat that why I passed on it. I never had it surveyd. Never got that far with the guy. We exchanged a couple emails. Seemed like a nice guy thats about it. Looks much better now. I towed mine with a Nissan Titan 4x4 it was ok on the flat land but the mountains were a white knuckle event, I also installed a brake controller which I highly recommend if you plan on towing with a 1/2 ton truck. I bought a 3/4 ford 4x4 diesel now and it tows like nothing is even back there.

Very nice. I like the storage they added to the gunwales. Looks like he listed it right after I sold mine.........smart. Much easier to sell when you have the only one on the market.

The 33 Ocean Hawk does have a full cabin, some even have ac, and appears to be a little bigger than the 28 Apache. Have even seen them put a generator in the console to power the ac. I think it may even be lighter than the apache. Worth a look.

That 1991 was in the Atlanta area years ago and was stolen and disappeared for awhile. It showed back up with that wrap it had then sold and came up here. I know theres not a lot of them, and they have been them same prices since the mid 90's.

Don't know if it's true but I heard they only made 3 in 1991. From what I was told they where 100,000 plus when new.
