I knew Steve from LOTO and remember the boat. He had it a few years in the mid 2000's and spent some $$ on updates.
Have not seen him for probably 10 years.

His screen name was lotoparty and then became Steve_H. Those screen names were purged a long time ago and you can't do an advanced search.
If you do a regular search and search lotoparty, you will see some of his old posts 28 Apache's

I found some old pics of it on this forum. The boat has held up well. It needs a little tlc and some personal touches. I bought the boat from my cousin, and he bought it from steve_h I believe. I think he picked it up in 08-09. The paint on that thing is still really nice, just needs a few minor scratches fixed and a little peeling clear repaired. Depending on what it does on gps, depends on what I actually do to with the power.

What all do you want to know about the build? Most had stock power. Hull bottom is solid glass, hull sides and deck are cored. Mine was very well balanced with twin stock 502/415 motors. Yours looks like its in great shape. Nice upholstery job, like the updgraded port side helm seat cupholder/arm, makes a great extra step getting down.

They appear to be bow chocks from my point of view.

That is Steve H old boat. I believe it ran in the low 70s when he had it. A guy from Shawnee Ks bought the boat and kept it at LOTO. My 90 28 Apache ran in the mid to upper 70's when I had it. The person that has my old boat now has it running 95. If anyone is interested he has if for sale.

Steve bought the boat from a guy in the San Francisco area. I believe around 2005 or so. His last name is Halloran (SP). I have not spoken to him in over 10 years. I believe he is on Facebook and still lives in the Lee Summit area.

Congrats on the Brave. I have 2002 with 133 hours on it. I love it. Have you spoken with Bobby or Eric? The older ones are heavy then the newer ones. Mine is composite and the layup wasnt the standard layup also my bottom has been blue printed. It will run with larger rigs especially in the rough. Whats your HIN?

I have not reached out to Bobby or Eric, although I would like to. When I spoke with Mark McManus, he was really friendly even though I can’t personally afford any of his services…. Lol. He said he’d do a new interior for 40k, which I am sure is beautiful, but way out of my price range, as I am just a humble Engineer/Air Force reservist haha. The Shawnee buyer would have been my cousin and I bought it from him recently. My HID starts with APH28. I’d have to look at the paperwork for the rest of the #. From the sounds of it, I feel like I made a pretty solid choice to get the boat. I am hoping to be blasting down LOTO by next weekend and get a few rips in it before it gets cold!

Oh, another thing I found that was super weird, is the boat had a gen V and gen VI 502 in it. I am sure that affected the way it ran because the gen V had tappet valve cam and the gen 6 was a roller motor with aftermarket heads. They match now….They are both roller motors with the aftermarket heads. That is the word I got from the engine builder. Again, I don’t remember what the name of the company was, but the marina putting the motors in gave me his contact info. The heads are supposed to be an upgrade from stock, but I honestly don’t think the heads will do much for the motors with the stock intake and cam.
