LOL this is where i grew up and we love to go back and visit as much as we can. we call it the best kept secret in the united states because of its pristine water and virtually no boat traffic unless theres a bass tournament of course. Its defenanty not the place to go if you want to be in the crowd.

heres a better one for the locals in my fountian

I'm two lake upstream form you on Table rock

That's a really nice piece at a good price. Boat has easily 2x that into it. Good luck, if it were staggered I'd be selling some equipment to figure out how to grab it!

Hey frickstyle, im just curious of why a stagger on a 41 apache is more appealing to you? I have a skater built fountain that has a full stagger at 117" and understand why it is better in my race boat but not sure what benefits it would give in something someone would use for pleasure boating. My apache could be short staggered (with current bulkhead) but i never thought the pros would outweigh the cons when it came to the configuration change. In a full stagger (in my Apache) you would lose cockpit area and in a short stagger it would make it terribly tight inside the engine compartment to service the equipment. this is just something i have seen when people talk about an apache but just dont grasp the idea since the boats are not speed record holders by any means. your thoughts?

Just a personal interest to move to a staggered is all. You have a really nice boat, at a great deal.

Any one would be lucky to pick this one up.

And you are correct, a side by side is better for pleasure because you get a better cockpit.

Thanks for the kind words and response, I didnt feel you were discounting the boat in any way but wanted to see what leads you to a stagger setup in a pleasure boat. My question was out of pure curiosity and having both myself i understand benefits but you are the third person ive heard with desire for staggered engines lately and wanted to hear why you have that conclusion. My side by side has a forward fuel tank thats larger than the fuel tank under the cockpit area and COG could be a reason that apache did that because most of the staggered setups i have seen have saddle tanks beside the engines. thanks again for your kind words and response

Right on man. I would also assume that in the side by side config, the Apaches are better arranged (COG) than the Cig. Apache is more of a purpose built boat where the Cig is the gentleman's racer/pleasure craft. The way I want to run on the Great Lakes, the staggered 41 Apache is on a short list of boats to own. certainly no speed demon, but a heck of a lot of fun at 75-95 mph.
