Bigboat 28 I have not seen the one for sale in wisc. I know it has been for sale a number of time over the last few years. PM saber 28 I understand he looked at it in 1998 or 1999. He looked at it first hand and it doesn't sound good from back then, alot of time has gone by so it may have been fixed up nice by now. These boats are very hard to come by, as Bobby puts it no one wants to give them up. Good luck, shopping, Steve.

Steve or any body else, have you seen the one in post 4? What condition is it in?

Re: 28 Apache - what to look for?
 

The only 28 I looked at was the one I bought. I talked to the guy in Wis. about the 28 up there. White w/ yellow arrow. PM Saber28, he looked at it and can give some opinions. If you can find one and it is in decent shape, buy it. They are awesome boats. Not the fastest but very solid and a great rough water boat. The guy I bought mine from did not move much on price either but I loved the boat and basically bought it over the phone. Paint on mine is "different" but I have grown to love it and it's nice being the only one out there that looks like mine. Mine is in storage for the winter, but when it warms up a little I'd be glad to show you it and go for a ride if you want.

Hey Dockrocker, can you email me any info about the condition of the boat in post#4? My email is [email protected] Thanks Dale

Re: 28 Apache - what to look for?
 

Let me rephrase what I said - the boat wasn't really "rough", but it was definitely a 1989, if you know what I mean. Needed new carpet, probably some upholstery work, bilge was kind of grungy, and the bottom had apparently been painted (?). Enough so that I wasn't interested in pursuing it further. Found the boat on boattraderonline, so if someone wants to go after it I'd start there (I tossed the guy's number).

Re: 28 Apache - what to look for?
 

the boat in wisconsin that i looked at had yellow arrow feathers on the side and was totally beat. plus the guy, pat bentley was a total fuxxing liar. i cannot believe i actually drove 7 hours to look at it. cfd5 and i had a good long conversation about it.

dont waste your time with it :(

Re: 28 Apache - what to look for?
 

Thanks again for that Saber, wasn't sure if you wanted me to post alot of info about it but our conversation turned me to my current 28. I am not a fan of bad mouthing boats in public online but if you do your research, you'll find the right boat. Bigboat28, PM me whe you get a chance.
