If somebody is serious about a big six pack boat, I'll sell my 2009 Turbine 50 Nortech 6 pack boat for less than some of these guys want for their 30 year old Apaches.... :poopoo:

Would also sell the boat less power and drives if somebody wanted it that way.

Does that Nortech have a cabin?

It does but very sparse, just two long benches on each side. Could be converted very easily though.

41 Apaches ride Way better then a 50 Nor tech. I spent a lot of time in each the rough water ride of a narrow Apache kills the wide panned out bottom of a 50 NT.

Maybe land a little softer, but I don't know any 41 Apache that will run over 120 or cruise at 105 for 50+ miles......

Also what did the 50 have for power? Mine doesn't really even run flat and just feel right until 80+

I have not marketed it, just word of month, send me your email and I can give you details and pics

50 had 4 650's in it, there nothing alike a 8' beam for great ride and she wont spin out if you blow a drive or motor with the non step hull. Massive difference in build quality also, run your promo in the N T section.

Ok sorry for the hijack. Back to Apaches!

Quick question since you know a ton of history. Is it true that the Mcmannus built boats were way inferior quality and very heavy/slow compared to the Saccenti/Kramer boats? I remember reading that Mcmannus was nothing more than a custodian at Apache, but when Kramer and Saccenti went to jail, somehow he ended up with the company. Any truth to this?
