Thanks, unfortunately I cant edit the list after a few days. waiting on OSO to change that for this thread.

I was told the heart surgeon thing was a myth. Instead someone said he was really a home builder on Long Island that had a heart problem. Here's a pic of it from an old APACHE brochure courtesy of TONTO

Note that the engine hatches in the picture have cut outs that mirror the Indian head Apache logo. A few others like War Dance 41' (former Jenny's Express have this feature).

I guess it was what I heard also was a rumor but nevertheless you guys did a great job on both lists. Thanks

ha who knows, what I heard is just a rumor too. But thanks I appreciate that.

RobF,
Thanks for the pics, never have seen pictures of it as Hogg Wild

#22 on Nate's list is now called Bounty Hunter, runs in Galveston Bay out of Kemah, TX. triple 800's and 83mph is right on. You tube video search 47 apache sanibel island, 3 videos. I rode in this boat back in April, super impressive and turns like it's on rails. Hardly any bowrise coming out of the hole (you can see that in the video). He is a member of TOPPS

Spirit of Houston was owned and raced by another TOPPS member.

War Party (new) was also in the Kemah/ Clear Lake area and the owner was also a TOPPS member. The price quoted new is pretty accurate. The boat had triple pontiac motors, I don't recall the horsepower. The paint job had to been seen in person for the full effect, incredible. The boat was sold years ago after the owner fell ill.

Only Rumors (41') was owned by another TOPPS member, he passed away before I ever got to meet him, actually drowned trying to save someone else.

I'm not placing names for a reason.

Did Spirit of Apache sell? Haven't seen an ad for it in awhile.....was on here/eBay for months. I think the lowest price listed was 399k.

no it was $299 or bo

I was thinking the same thing. Sold or taken off the market?
