only ones i know about

JAIME STAR 01-25-2004 11:22 AM

looking good man, i bet shes on your mind all day. i went on the Apache web sight and couldnt find any info on the 28'. Would you happen to know the weight of the 28 hull, actual width, length etc. Id like to use it for a comparison. have you seen your boat in person yet? JAIME

Steve_H 01-25-2004 11:34 AM

i dont know the actual weight/length/width.
i just know its a big heavy 28 which is exactly what i want for Lake of the Ozarks. im sure Warpaint would know.

nope , havent seen her in person yet:(
Jonas from the board looked at it for me and gave her a thumbs up:) thanks again Jonas.
were thinking of taking the trip to San Fran by water when we pick her up. 2 hours by water? might as well take advantage of good boating after the 1800 mile drive ugggggg. hows the weather out your way in march?

JAIME STAR 01-25-2004 11:51 AM

in march the the water still isnt looking to good. like now there is alot of crap in our water, just gotta be careful. Oh, by the way also watch out for the fishermen, aruond here they are pretty quick to throw a sinker your way. JAIME

I plan to do some more testing with the Maximus prop this weekend. First tests results (stock labbed) were better acceleration, and much better cruise 8 MPH @3400 RPM over a stock labbed Bravo 1. The Bravo 1 was ~ 1-2 MPH faster at top end, but I have had the Maximus reworked some more and hope to at least get the 1-2 MPH back.

Nykamp 04-29-2005 07:34 AM

Re: 28 Apache's
 
David have a good weekend Buddy, enjoy the new prop. Hope all is well,Steve.

The fairing made a huge difference in driving comfort especially in the northern climate...
