You have to build a boat before you can play with the companies that have already proven themselves

Heya Spitfire,

Believe me when is say this. This whole affair is not complicated. Its so cut and dry its scary. McManus was listed as the owner of the Apache Trademark well before, as in years before, this new "Apache" was ever dreamed up.

Bobby and Eric have both said they sold Warrior Powerboats. Apache LLC just thought they could steam roll Mark M. They were wrong. Before the lawsuit, they tried to buy the trademark from McManus, he said no, you know the rest. Why would they try to buy something they already own ???

They would like everybody to believe this is a complicated legal matter because quite frankly, the simple FACTS are not in there favor.

That sounds about right.....however.....what still has me wondering is why Jack would make a statement like that when he was involved from the very beginning....and he said the Apache trademark...not Warrior.....he was very specific about that....and like I said before...I believe he said that someone did not act in an expedient manner and thus lost the rights to the Apache trademark.....so, that is why I am wondering what the real story is.....

By the way, Your new Avatar is very cool :)

:)....

:p

just the facts mam

What is with all the edited posts?

The only person who will ever own a Thad built boat is Thad.

It will cost him over 3 million bucks:D :D

Well, I ain't 'fraid to identify myself,

41 APACHE TONTO
Built by Mark McManus in '91, original named "FIGHTER SQUADRON" built for Bob Waxman.

I personally hope all this get THROWN out of court and the Chicago group has to pay restitution. I HATE frivilous lawsuites.

Jay, if I was you and I sold all my **** and moved down here to go to work for someone and was then fired, you can bet your ass, I WOULD be PISSED. I don't know what they have over on you, but it must be good.

Hey Robert,

How's them Chiefs coming?

That sounds really cheap... I think the shock will be bigger than that unfortunately. Ouch.

Oh I forgot the McManus law suit. It's time for some attorneys to take the TadPole to the cleaners. Why not, the South Florida boys already did!!!:p :p

Anybody want to read a drunken stuper-mail from Thad

I see Thad got all dressed up for the photo shoot?

Looks a little dazed no?

Thoght he wore a Pin-Striped suit?

C'mon wet Kitty...

Hundreds of people want to read it, that's why there are over 6,000 views in 7 days. This is history, like the Titanic sinking on its first voyage!

Need permission first.... But very soon.

This will put an end to all....

Yes, please.

:)...go for it

Steve 1,

Great thread, you woke the board back up again....

It makes logging on all the more fun...

My wife really hates this site. She's starting to get jealous:D

She thinks we sit here and all look at Porn....:rolleyes:

Sure. Hang on while I get the Absolute bottle from the freezer. It will serve as the Rosetta Stone and I will be able to give an accurate interpertation.

we are all eyes

I told mine to start reading this Apache stuff and she would never watch another soap opra

I'm thinking glazed.

:D:D:D:D

You're right....I am not a designer AND NEVER claimed to be one! But, I do understand running surfaces and hull bottoms capable of efficiency OR inefficiency. When I was at the factory I was told point blank that the rocker was taken out of the bottom of the boat because it wasn't needed, your words not mine, therefore my statement stands I still have my doubts. When it comes time, if ever, to run it I would like to see it run or better yet, run it, and then give you a fair assesment of it's proper or inproper attitudes.

Still wanna play?

I am and always will be Sean Stinson

That may be the most insiteful, knowledgeable and truthful statement on this whole thread. It's also the SCARIEST!!! :D :eek:

I am and always will be Sean Stinson............

I thought you were AKA "POODLE"

Couldn't resist that one "Bro"

Robert Tanner
Owner, '91 Lumpy ole resin bucket, "TONTO"

Sean You are misunderstanding what the facts are here... The bottom was put "BACK" to the Warpath Profile..

OK so let me get this straight. The plug was put BACK to the original 41 Don Aronow/McManus designed "Warpath" as your statement speaks? If this is the case the rumor mill may just be correct! I anxiously await your response.

Miller and Tonto you two got me. But I will return the favor sometime.;) :D :cool:

Did somebodys big idea NOT WORK ????

;)

Sean I made the bottom agree with the Orginial Warpath Drawings and Cad profile we have/Had..

Anyway why the interest??

Curiosity always kills the cat doesn't it Steve?

Sean not really My Cats run just fine.. LOL

where did the original warpath drawings come from... who had them all this time...???? Just curious

There was big talk about this great new "T4" bottom that you designed and it was going to revolutionize the powerboat busness! I heard you guys tested it and the question is DID IT RUN OR DID IT NOT simple question.

Maybe you can enlighten us all just a little.

Also there was no pun intended in the curiosity kills the cat comment.
