Default What year did first apache cat race?

I know this boat raced in 1986 with three man cockpit and mercury stern drives, but when did it race with arnesons and two man cockpit? Charlie hope you don't mind me using your picture. If you do let me know and I will take it down.[ATTACH=CONFIG]520076[/ATTACH]

I believe there where two of those. But I think that one went on to become Labatts/Canada Homes Warpaint etc.. Around 1990ish Jack Stuteville did a referb job on it. I think he setup the transom (Notch) for sterndrives. I don't know if it had Arnesons on it when he started or not..JT & TnT started racing it and changed it around even more. It's had a Long life (As far as raceboats that kept racing goes)

That was a later apache cat, not the same boat as this. That one was 38 footer made out of glass.

it must be a picture from 1985 because it was powered by Lamborghini you can see the bull on either side of the cockpit...I wondered if it ever race in this configuration or was it just tested...

The 4 exhaust pipes per engine, the early lambo if I recall had two sets of 3 cylinder headers on each side so 4 headers per engine in total
