now that is cheap!saw it for 135k

With a little updating on the paint/color/graphics, this could be an awesome boat ... if one could afford the gas. I say go for it!

Its a thought, Have my house settlment on Friday so let that sort of settle down some first.
I have the dually but I was concerned about towing around a "resin bucket" with trips on a F350. Hot duck went and upped the bar on his 45 with a F550 and now what a F650 or 750?
Just trying to be safe is all.
Dont need to kill anyone while tugging around mount everest behind me!

1) I may be wrong, but economics has changed some for most.
Not that it stops people from buying big boats, but it seems
to play a factor on which big boat, by some of the facts below.
Biggest and most efficient bang for the long dollar.

2) There building as big, and so much lighter now days. Along
with perfected hulls etc.

3) Going as fast and faster with twins in the newer boats of the same size.

4) So your field is much smaller on those that want to maintain a triple
when they can maintain the same size twin running faster.
Or after market power Vs. factory power.

5) So it goes down to the hardcore apache fan and what you want.
But you are in a very, very small playing field with that large of a boat
with triple's.

Apache's are great, built well, good rough water boats etc. again
it's all in what you want. The name, the build, the room, the speed,
wave crushing ablilities etc. all things that define each individual boat
and there creator.

Just my .02

but it's not a cigarette or apache and that's where the difference comes in look at mark mcmanus he could have built the new apache twin step but did he nope he kept classic with modern touches. cann't beat classic rustin buckets

If I am not mistaken,,,when Chip & Jeff where wrenching on it the trailer it was on had air brakes... cause they had to set up a system in Chip's duallie... Could be wrong though...

But that boat is AWESOME...

If you want a awsome 47 pleasure you should look at BROKEN ARROW, I just cleaned it before the Luaderdale show. By the time you redo the one above you will have more into it than Mr Adams has BA listed for, just my thoughts. They all are awsome, and KEMOSABE is the best. Donz got to see your bad boy at Grants sweet ride, good luck racing. Steve

Jayl13,
If you would like any info. on the 1990 47' you posted a picture of above, please feel free to contact me. My father was the last owner of the boat and Peter and myself are the acting brokers for the boat. BTW, you are correct it is a sweet deal and the numbers are right. A lot of hardware for the money and yes there is a trailer.

dude....quit being so modest and admit that the boat was an awesome machine!!!!

Tony, NyKamp brings up a point under the surface of what he wrote, this boat has been for sale for a very long time.
The pics of the boat have GOT to be 2-3 years old.
Did the boat suffer during the hurricanes? How "dirty" is it?
Im NOT concerned in the LEAST about dirty or the Paint job whatsoever (baja is more than halfway done being airbrushed, another 5-6 weeks and it will be ready for the water). And yes fella's that is ALOT of MAJOR hardware sitting in the bilge of this animal!
Transom is no slouch either!
Its still a little out of my price range but hey, it came down this far right?
I used to dream about these, Now that my price range has upped the mark some, and the boats decrease in value I am getting closer to these than I ever thought.
Damn it I still want my war party though!

So Tony, outlying question still remains, Whats this sucker weigh in at on that trailer? AIR BRAKES ??? EEEK!
