I've seen it in person. That 47, and TONTO, may be the only Apaches I've ever found remotely interesting.

Anyone got any pics of what the boat looked like before it got redone.

Here's the classified ad from how it looked before as RUNNING BRAVE

I could see it. It adds up fast. This boat is awesome. There's a video of it on YouTube i remember watching.

Boat is hands down the best Apache out there. I saw it in Sarasota when it first was finished and it is a show stopper!

2 issues ring in my head:

1. The choice to build his own motors seemed odd. A drag racer may not be the ideal person to build boat motors.
2. Low usage, 58 hours in 5-6 years? That brings me back to question 1!

Is it still Elias'?? I read on here he sold it years ago. But I also saw someone post the boat was close by to them and was still his. I think the boat is in a league of its own, there isn't anything like it that rivals IMO. Wonder who will end up with it if it sells, and what its future holds? Be great to see someone run it more often, but would hate to hear it sits in a warehouse.

Cash, Thanx!!
For another pik, go in the "Photos" section, look in the "History of Apache" and on page 7, bottom rite, is the way the boat looked when I first saw it.

same here, I think it may be my all time favorite paint job along with the 47 Warparty. I'm kinda torn though because the new graphic is pretty sick and the boat itself is at the very top of my wish list. they did a great job with the rebuild and it has some well thought out touches. shame they had to use that boat but who knows maybe she was showing her age.

This boat is my screen saver much better full size. This would be the paint on my 41' if I was going to spend the $$$$$.$$.
