Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

Tiger-1, have you looked at Allez Vite? It sure looks good from the pics and priced fair (if the condition is as good as the pics seem). 106mph, fresh hardware and 6 pack cockpit. Sweet.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?

OSO member Nykamp seems to know alot of it's current situation. It was for sale for at least a few months this spring for $150k. I don't see it advertised anymore but it may still be for sale. For some reason I think it is.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

that boat has bin broken. the boat blowes up every time out.that is why it's $150,000 you get what you pay for.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

I have both the "INXS" boat and the "Allez Vite" boat for sale at our shop. The number on "Allez Vite" is $150,000. and we are just completing a minor freshen up. Gimbel's rebuilt, drives and Gimbel's refinished, new rub rail, paint touch up, and some dash work. The engines were re-freshened by Zul a little over a year ago and have 35hrs since. We did the work at T-N-T. I don't agree with the statement the boat "blows up every time out". This is the first time the boats been in the shop for any maintenance since we installed the engines and no mechanical repairs are being done. In my opinion and that of others in our shop, this is one of the best running 41's we've been involved with, and at one time or another a large percentage of the 41's built have passed through T-N-T or Bobby Moore's Custom Marine (both shops are combined since T-N-T purchased Bobby Moore's 3 years age). I believe it is a good boat and good price. As for "INXS" this boat is priced to sell, quickly. At this price the boat will be sold with no sea test, subject to any engine or hull survey a buyer wants to preform. The boat starts, runs, shifts and sounds great. The engines are not very old 705CID / 1200hp Cobra's, It has transmission's, #6 drives and is complete from the props to the bow eye. The reason I want to sell this boat without a sea test is because I don't want to risk the expensive hardware in this boat to a bad water pump impeller, leaking header or inter-cooler, etc. These things should all be checked, even though I have no indication any of these things have any issues. I'll be able to sell the boat for less money this way. I get a huge number of calls from people who want to buy at a bargain price and do the work themselves, here's their chance. For a buyer who does not want to do any work themselves and wants to pay someone else, we would be happy to do, and can do everything they would want. Including a sea test. This boat with no question, needs some work, mainly cosmetic. Over the years I have sold 5 of the 47' Apaches built, some of them multiple times. The last one, within the last year, at $295,000. A person can buy this boat, fix it up to what ever level they want or could afford, and be in it at less than market value. That's a good position to be in. There are not many deals out there you can say that about. Earlier in this post Paul indicated he wanted $289,000. (the price on the Tiger is more than fair, so I am not including any discount there) for his 41 Apache. I'm sure it is a very nice boat. You could buy "INXS" not lift a wrench, spend $165,000 on it, and be at the same price. If some one were to bring us both boats for sale at $289,000. and ask me witch one of these like new Apache's I would choose to sell. I would take the 47' over the 41' before you could finish the sentence. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to say anything derogative about Paul's boat or price, only that a comparable 47' will bring more money with less effort.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

My take on it: Buy Allez Vite for $150k and have someone with the reputation of TnT go through it to make sure there are few surprises. I cannot imagine it costing $139k to make it as good as Paul's boat.

I have gone through this decision in my head for the past 6 months so I already knew what I would do. Maybe detune the engines in Allez Vite a little (change pulley to lower boost) which would give more safety margin for the engine and be easier on the trannys and drives. Then go have some fun.

Just my $0.02, nobody needs to get offended.

PS: or you can buy my 38' Kevlar Larry Smith flatdeck with 6 pack, staggered 698ci naturally aspirated engines, #5's and do 102mph for $95k (shameless spam)

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

No sea trial. C'mon Mr Salesman. What's the deal? Price reflects condition.

The reason Paul is asking so much for his is condition? A number was thrown out about another 41, that is flawless with fresh engines, of around the same price as Paul's boat. I'm sure a sizable deposit before sea-trial would be asked. Is the INXS boat in the same condition or even remotely close to the condition of Kemosabe or Broken Arrow? In my opinion, NO. The difference is in the detail.

As far as Allez Vite, $139K to make it as nice a Paul's boat, I don't know. I do know of one, that it would take some serious cash, to bring it up to that level.

There is a difference between a bargain and a steal.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

P Apache what shop built your 1500s , do you have dino sheets,are the drives dry??? give us the info.......whats the price complete?

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

Tbone,
That sea trial that you hi-lighted is for after you buy it, the way I read it.

On the 41 vs 47 question, you have to ask yourself, do I want a two engine boat or a three engine boat, be able to tow with a regular dually or have to buy a 550/5500 to tow with.
I've had both and the decsion I made was the 41 fit my needs just fine. I'm not saying I wouldn't buy another 47, but the only one that I would buy is KEMOSABE, that's MY opinion. I'm not saying all the others out their are no good, that's just my favorite.
I've not heard of any trouble that John might of had with the ALLEZ VITE boat and Roger just bought a center console.

I will say that the price of these boats does reflect their condition. If I were to sell the 41, I like Paul, would be in the upper 200 bracket. And all my hardware is either new or rebuilt.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

Tbone

I read the comment, including the part you highlighted. I can to the same conclusion as Tonto. After you buy it. And TNT is more than happy to do the work.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

T-Bone read it the way I meant it. We will do a sea test before the sale. The price just increases. As Bobby Moore always used to tell me, "This ain't my first trip downtown on the bus". I'm not going to sea test this boat until some preventative maintenance is done. The boat was last used in January of this year. You guys have boats with big power. You know a header or inter-cooler leak, a bad sea pump impeller, old fuel, internal blockage in a carburetor, etc. can damage a motor on a sea test. Maybe I'm wrong to approach it this way, however I get a large number of calls from people who would rather do the work and pay less for the boat. I felt this is the boat to offer this option on, because there is more work to do than just this. I've bought and sold many boats over the years without doing a sea trial. The buyer can decide. I also think "Kemosabe" and "Broken Arrow" are beautiful boats. I'll bet you can't buy either one of them for $125,000. They are also all different. "Kemosabe" is a 3-seater with no room to put additional seating. We showed that boat to a client who ended up buying "Running Brave" because he didn't want a 3-seater. If you know "Running Brave" consider the boat before and after we did the refit. Do the same to "INXS" and your still money ahead. "Broken Arrow" is a full cockpit cabin boat with smaller power and less speed. Of all the inquires I've had on "INXS" only one has said he would want a sea test so far. Tonto, I saw your boat recently at Chief, your boat is beautiful as well. From the looks of your boat, you have spent a lot of time and effort making it exactly the way you want it to be. I'm assuming you have had a lot of enjoyment (and a little frustration) from this work as well. The right buyer can take "INXS", do his thing to it, from minor to major, and still be in it at a price that will be at or less than market value.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

Peter, (I am assuming that's who you are)
Thank you for the compliment. I have spent a couple of years getting the boat where it is right now. I agree with you on the seatrial deal. Last year when I was selling "THE CHIEF", that I took on trade when I sold Austin the "MEDICINE MAN" boat, I was keeping it on my lift while working on the "TONTO" boat and everyone was a SERIOUS buyer, BS, they just wanted to go for a ride in an APACHE! I will never take a boat out for a seatrial without a least a 10% deposit. I also know what happens when a boat sits for 10 months, impellers, header cracks, etc. Good luck with the INXS boat, oh by the way, KEMOSABE is a 6-pack, although very small, there are three holes in the back, I've been in them. Have you talked to Elisas lately? Heard they didn't last very long, but them boys are hard on sh!t !

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

I can vouch for Tonto and understand how powerboat tire kickers are. These are not hondas and toyotas that you can just take around the block for a test drive. There are many factors to consider fuel, hours put on expensive engines with low rebuild time, and misc. wear and tear. Why is it everyone shops for a bargain and then wants a warranty and guarantees. Remember "You get what you pay for". I have learned this statement all too many times on my own and now live by it. A cheap powerboat is not for the average boater with no mechanical experience. A good mechanic will ask for maybe a compression test and inspect seams at the bulkheads,stringers and any other fiberglass seams. A sea trial will only tell you that it may hold up for a half hour or so. When buying these boats one needs to inspect the parts and the hull and not judge on how it runs after sitting for a year or so. I have seen too many people call boats junk because a 20$ impeller went out from sitting for a year. If one were to sea trial for everyone that came to look at these boats they would be rebuilding motors twice a year. This has just been my outlook and probably will not change much but needed to be said.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

Yes it is. Thanks for your input "Tonto" and "RBR2328".

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

I saw the 47 for sale with triple 900's at tnt marine and was looking for some info like speeds condition(how old is the paint-interior) how many hours on the engines? I have been looking for a boat and that 47 looks like the best deal out there.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

375 Stinger, You asking about the other 47' Apache we have for sale with the full cabin I assume. Give me a call and I'll give you all the details. Peter 954-931-9111

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

Peter

That 47 has been for sale for a LOOOOOONG TIME. Whats the deal with it?

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

The full cabin boat has been for sale for a long time (INXS is new to the market) The price was originally much higher and the boat has just been sitting. I am surprised someone hasn't grabbed it up. It is a good boat at a more than fair price.

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
 

I had a chance to ride with Roger a few years ago on INXS and it was awesome. I know of a beautiful 47 that could be bought for 300k completely redone. So the numbers on Pete's listing is a very good deal. Some people will want to have everything redone to their own specs and others want it already done. Either way, look out in big water. :drink: NK

Re: "INXS" for sale ?
