no not me. Buddy bought it and 4 other apaches and is restoring each. He has begun on LC which has been sandblasted all the way down and will begin on the full restore build up including new stringers etc. his work is crazy impeccable.

thanks for the pics guys. If anyone finds any other rare but detailed photos, please post. Dave asked me to find whatever I can so he can get the paint exact.

What years did it race? Might help me find something in my old magazines.

88/89/90 at least I believe.

I thought it might be "up here"...but didn't see it on the website...

Paul Kemiel who shot the brochure above is still around...and apparently has photo presence on facebook...

It is awesome to see new life brought back to these older race boats. It takes a lot of dedication and money but in the end it is great to see the boats that made this sport great. Keep us up to date with photos when possible.

By the way. If anyone has good pics of Lucky Strike, he’d like those too.

thanks.

Mine are here 47' Apache - Lucky Stike on a rampage in Key West

courtesy of photo bucket...at least I can see them..if you can't I can re-post or email them.

LS was a few slips down from Little Caesars- it was quite a day for me...D Johnson, H Arneson and even Caitlyn Jenner was there- she was especially polite as she dressed as a man that day...

If I had 5 Apaches would you be my buddy too?

nice pics!

hahaha. Dave’s a good dude. Besides, He’s doing gods work, keeping the tribe in tip top!

Keep pictures of his progress, so cool he's saving these boats. All time Favorites.

You can't come on here asking for info for a major restore and not have threads on those Icons of the ocean!

Great to see they are being aggressively restored back to the glass.
