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.

It takes 1000hp to move it 100mph

twin 500's... that's it!!!! Man, I had no idea how efficient those ol' things are!!!!! LOL

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.

A friend has a 47 for sale with twins full stagger runs a touch under a 100 on detuned motors(975) can be turned up and still be on pump let me know if you are interested i will get you his info.... boat is nice

What power is in Island Runner? Twin stagger boat, saw a pic of his GPS over the weekend around 110/112MPH

What drives and props were you running, just curious cause mine is slow even though it's pretty light haha

Mine has 1.5 ratio # 6's spinning 17X32 4 blade mercury racing props . Check out Allez Vite on you tube.

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
