Default Getting a Apache in the 100s

Hey guys new to the sight, well my first post

Looking at purchase of my first Apache, my question what do I buy. It's between a 41 and 47 that I can get I to the 100s with stagerd twins.

What kind of power does it take and witch option will make better top numbers,

I am doing a hull up build and everything will be built/dun in house. Plan on #6s and maybe twin 1100-1300hp blower motors

All input would be awesome. Thanks in advance

Bigwaterrunner,

The best person to ask is Mark McManus at Apache, as he is the manufacturer of the boat. You can reach him at 239-454-1114.

You'll need around a 1000 hp per motor. Mine ran 108
Back in the day at lake X with Mercury 1000's and crash boxes in her race form. If was the first 41 to hit 100 ever. She's available she did 96/97 with Richie Zul's 925's when I bought it 10 years . Private message me if your interested.

I am planing a ground up build, I know you can buy ready to go boats for the same if not cheaper but I want to know it in and out and put pride in doing it myself. Also don't have 150k to drop all at once lol.

I was looking at the little ceasers 41 hull for sale on here. Any opinions on it
