I have two 24' openfish outboard boats. The hull mold came from Bob Saccenti's Apachee back in the early 90's. It was only a hull mold, 8 foot beam 24 deadrise, I don't think he ever built any boats with this. It got sold to someone I know who built the deck and console molds and I think three boats were built before I got the molds. I had a boat built by a shop in Ft. Lauderdale that did work for Midnight. I than traded the molds to NorTech in Ft Myers for them building me another boat which I still have. It was completed in 2016 and has never been in the water. I'm going to sell that one and if I get ten posts I'll post some pictures.
I sold a 21' Apachee scout to buy those molds. I got that boat from Bob Saccenti in '86 as just a bare hull. My brother, who worked for Ben at Apachee, took the hull to the Hollywood shop and with the help of Victor Chapman, Apachee's master carpenter, we built an openfish deck and console for it. The 21' was a great hull but with the pad and only 22 deadrise it wasn't that great in rough water. The 24' cured that problem.

I'll keep this thread going to I have ten posts, after Bob sold the molds three boats were made, one with a daytona diesel and arneson drive, another with mercruiser outdrive and chevy small block and one with outboards. This was by someone I know and bought the molds from.

I bought the molds in 2006 and had a boat built by a shop in Ft. Lauderdale that did work for Midnight Performance Boats. My boat has a Stainless Marine bracket and 250 E Tech.

Brought the molds to NorTech Performance Boats,Ft. Myers FL. in 2007, they were going to build me the bare hulls and I was going to rig them and sell them. Well we all know what happened in 2008. So much for the boat building business.

Tron at NorTech built another boat for himself, this one had a Yanmar diesel and mercruiser outdrive, that one went to Norway for awhile but is now back at NorTech getting the transom enclosed and a bracket and outboard put on.
