There is no 28 any tougher/better built than a Apache....Period.

Steve H, The bravo's do have awesome pull. I have heard theat the 25 3 blade would be best for my boat so I hope to try some this summer. A friend has a set for me to try so I will keep Craig223 in mind, thanks. I would think you should be turn a bigger prop. I only have the 365HP 454's and pull the 24's to 5K easily. My best speed to date is 71.7 on GPS. That was cool day 60* and 4 people on board. You have 502's and should run mid 70's. You gonna try to make it to Cumberland next summer?
Birdog, Still in Florida? How's the Gun running?

Guys,

I may be in for that one. We could have a (28") War Tribe get-together.

I'm always in for that Run. The only other Apache I've seen down there was a newer 28 Cherokee. Let me know and I can help planning hotels/houseboats. I'm only about 3 hrs from LC and spend alot of time down there.

Wasn't there a nice 28 with twins for down in the cumberland area for sale last year? A 28 just went up for sale in wisconsin on boat trader, it has been for sale thru that dealer at least once before, looks pretty good. I was looking for one of these 10 years ago and they were going for the same prices back then, amazing. Gota love a toy that holds it's value for that long. Steve

Nykamp I called on that Apache in Wisconsin a week ago. I am in Ohio about 12 hrs from there. He said that the boat is in really good condition. I to saw it awhile ago on boat trader for sale. What can you tell me about the boat? Have you seen it, if so what condition is it, tears in vinyl, scratches, patches in fiberglass, any stress cracks? Thanks for any info.

Had some folks look at the 28 in Michigan - apparently it is very rough. Could be a good project for someone, though. I don't have the time or money to deal with a major overhaul...
