Cool pics guys.. Jamie

We're taking delivery on a 41' Apache, The Chief, tomorrow. We're about to "be there" and that excitement is written all over my husband's face!

Congrats to you and your husband. I looked at the add for that boat probably 1000 times trying to figure out what I could sell to be able to afford that kick a$$ boat. Beautiful boat you bought! I hope you enjoy it, but know you will. Be sure and post lots of pics of your first few trips.

Thanks Wade! I'm sure we'll enjoy it....always been a dream of my husband's to own an Apache.

We'll post pics on our first run. Calling for 2 to 4's rising to 3 to 5's this weekend on Lake Erie. I think Rob calls that "Apache Water!"

By the way, you need to change your signiture from boatless to 41' Mean machine.

Yes I do!!! Thank you for the reminder.

<------------- That looks much better.

I have a question. I hear the Apache 47 may be back on the market soon as well as the 41 IO and a 41 Outboard Center Console. If they are straight and fitted correctly how will they be accpted? Just a rummor but thought I would ask.

They are on the market now and have been for a while. Here is the link. http://www.apachepowerboats.com/ To me personally, when somebody says the name Apache, I think of the older boats that came from 188th street.

This does not mean that I would not own a new Apache from McManus if I had the dollars to buy one. It would be a dream to have him build me a new, exact duplicate of one of the older boats. Flat deck, raised hatches, etc. He certainly knows how to build them and was there when the originals were made, so there is no doubt that the new ones will be incredible and will continue to bring honor and prestige to the Apache name.
