24's for sale?
 

I know they are hard to come by but does anyone know of any Apache 24 footers out there for sale? I've seen a few over the years for sale just never had the chance to purchase one. Hey it don't hurt to ask... right?

They are a sweet looking setup for shore! Did quite a bit of searching on the smaller boats after that last thread! Good luck on the search!

There is one in the Bahamas the guy wants 13 thousand for just the hull

I've been in to Apaches for a long time and have only seen 2 for sale in the past 20 years.

There was one with twin outboards for sale down there some time ago, is that the one?

Yes

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.

Never actually seen a 24' in person

I was on one at apache that I was looking at to buy with a I/o and there was another one that had outboards, I really liked it but ended up with my 28.

Never seen a 24 Apache either.

I have to have ten posts, just tried it and no go without ten posts.

I talked to Bob Saccenti about the 24' Apachee molds, he said they shortened the 28' to make them.

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.

I than traded the molds to NorTech for them building me another boat. That one was completed in 2016.

That makes only six boats that were built with these molds.

Now the latest in the 24' Apachee story, Bob Saccenti is in contact with NorTech to purchase the 24' molds and possibly start building them again along with the 21' scout. Let's hope Apachee Performance Boats will be a reality again.

Nice!

I believe Mark McManus has molds for the closed deck sport version of the original 24' Apache which he modified into a new offering.

Has that boat ever actually been built or just a rendering of a possible boat?
