41 Apache - Humble new owner
 

Hey guys - just wanted to introduce myself to this exclusive group. I am extremely humbled to now own The Chief. Although I cannot take any credit for all the work done to restore this masterpiece, I am extremely excited to now own it and enjoy it thoroughly! I have owned some very nice, modern, step bottom boats that were very fast.... but nothing that has the history, reputation, and class of a 41 Apache. I am looking forward to getting her in some rough water up here in Maine, as well as some lake love. I look forward to talking with some of you about your experience running these beasts.

1 major check off the Bucket List!

Thank you Shawn for the sale - awesome guy!

Congrats on the purchase! Love all the updates that have been made! Can't wait to see some more pictures.

That is a bad ass boat dude!!! I got cash for a ride lol. I got a buddy on Sebago with a 32 Fountain

That thing looks sweet, can you post some more pictures? Awesome rig, what did you own before and what made you make the move?

Thanks guys- I will post a couple more pics and a vid in a few mins

Bad Ass TA - this boat will be on Sebago most of the summer, have your friend come say hi. He will know where to find me.

frickstyle - Before this I had a 2012 Hustler Rockit with 1100s and prior to that a 2009 Nor-Tech 39v with 1000s - so this will be quite a change. I am excited though. I didn't make the move to specifically get into a flat bottom boat, but couldn't pass up this opportunity for one the best of the them (imo).

Congrats! wonderful boat. Beautiful job on the redo. I do have some piks of her from back in the gay buffalo hunter days if you want them.....

Interested to hear how she runs in the rough compared to your previous two boats. Very nice, enjoy!

Thanks. I have a couple pics, but I certainly wouldn't mind more for the sake of the boat's history. Quite a transformation, haha. my email is [email protected] if you want to send some at some point.

Beautiful Boat!! :drool1:

Gorgeous....just....gorgeous.

I am so jealous. Bucket list indeed.

Congrats and one good looking updated modern 41. Kurt lives on Sebago lake. He has a 30 ft Cigarette Vice.

I had the pleasure of doing some work on the Chief, you have your self a real nice piece. I hope you have a great summer.

Kurt is a friend of mine... and a legend in the powerboat industry! Knows how to have a good time too ; )

That boat did a fun run last summer with us. Awesome ride. Looks great and sounds even better.

Sick!

Cant believe theres an Apache in Maine!!! I have to come see this! Congrats!

And one in RI

I'd tend to believe that more.. Then a bunch in Jersey...

Thanks God someone painted that boat. Was hard to admit wanting one when that comes up on a Google search.

Awesome boat, congratulations. Did it come from Chicago? Thought I saw the boat at Boyne last year.

Buffalo, but yes it was at Boyne

Hah! I remember hearing Leopajam calling it the gay buffalo hunter!

Had to leave Boyne early Friday, saw your boat in parking lot. Super nice guy you bought it from and boat is bad ass! Very cool

Thanks... can't take credit for the Ferrari though either, I run a Hellcat, lol. These pics are from the prior owners garage.

Thanks Keith!

Shawn, the seller, has been absolutely fantastic to work with. Great guy. I think he is happy with how excited I am about owning the boat. It makes it easier to let go, lol. I know it was for me when I sold my 39 Rockit.
