Re: greatest apache ever?
 

Cig was that picture taken in St. Tropez? Thats where that bad boy was from, there are a few over there. Cool picture.

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

Cigman, damn thats hot!

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

Yes it is from St. Tropez. There are at least 4 41 Apaches in France that I know of.

1. Hammerhead 850 Chief´s and #6´s

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

2. Five Star One

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

3. Shaka

Twin 1000 HP EFI´s and #6´s Staggered special light hull build for a long distance record. It is said to do 110 MPH+ but I don´t know ???

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

I think there is a few 47 in St. Tropez also, I was there in 2004 to buy Hammer Head, but passed on it, it is a beautiful area.Steve

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

4. Merc 575´s and #3´s

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

I have never seen or heard of any 47´s in that area but there propably are 1 or 2 somewhere. There are a 47 in Sweden and a 47 on Ibiza(It is supposed to be over there now for a redo) There are also a 41 in Sweden 2 in Ibiza and 2 in Italy that I know of.

What made you pass on the hammerhead boat ? I only saw it standing on the dock, I never saw engineroom but it looked nice when I saw it.

You are right it is a beautifull area !

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

Jesper the 41 HAMMER HEAD should come back to Marks for a complete redo, it was more work then I wanted at the time so I bought the 41 ALLEZ VITE. Hammer Head used to be called SAM and has always been in europe. Rupert owns HH and Shaka, and used to own RUUNING BRAVE. Thanks for the pictures, Steve.

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

My pleasure ! Steve have you seen Shaka in person ? It was for sale a little while back, I belive they where asking 225.000$. Allez Vite is a beautiful 41 !!! I was just toying whith the idea of buying one to keep as a hot rod for real rough weather when I won´t take the Tiger out.

I saw the Five Star One 41 in 2002 back when it was all black but did not pay much attention to it. Have you seen that one ? I know it is for sale and the asking price is not that crazy. I was just wondering if it had #6 drives from the begining.

If any one have any pictures of Five Star One please post them !

Jesper

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

I didn't see 5 Star 1 or SHAKA, we did take Hammer Head out for a ride in the bay. I believe that 5 star was always a #6 boat, they are really great rought water boats, which is what works real good in those waters.

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

I like that one :drink:Cool paint job.


What does a 41 weigh??

Rob

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

It varies. A race 41 can weigh anywhere from 9000 to 10,500, maybe a little less on the early super light raceboats. Pleasure 41's start at around 11,000 and go up from there depending on how big the cabin is and other options. Some pleasure 41's weigh more than 12,000#, wave crushers.

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

warpath 12,000...............meanstreak 14,000.................mine 8500 with 300 gal. fuel.........and 300 lbs....personal gear.........mark........

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

cool web page but 129 mph??????? I don't fn think so.

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

Wow that means your 41 Apache´s dry weight is around 5800 pounds that is hard to belive considering a 42 Outerlimits GTX weigh around 9700 dry. If it was dry I would have understood I mean that is really light.

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

that speed has already been achieved...here is the powerplant

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

129 mph with twin 1000's. hehe, Fiction can be fun. I don't think there is a 41 on the planet that will go 129 mph, let alone with 1000's.

WarHawk weighs in at 10,400#(give or take a few 100 #), no fuel.

So MM your boat weighs around 6000# empty ???? Kinda hard to believe.

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

really lite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!m.m..............thats why i bought this one.......reasonable power it runs.....easy on the drives.........ask around this is one of the runningist injun boats out there............how many hours do you have on those new teagues senor carl...........mark..........

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

with stock 800sc merc ran 94 with 300 gal fuel........how did yours run carl?..............m.m.....if you walk down my deck you will feel it move...........lite layup.........hoggie is even lighter i think..........it was a disposable hull!!!!!!!!!m.m.......

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

Teagues are running great. 96 mph.

Yea I know your boat is light, but 4000 lbs lighter than a 1989 6-pack ?? ????? Thats 2 TONS !!!!! Your boat might weigh 8500 lbs, but not with 300 gallons(1 ton) of fuel in it. Its impossible. Its not like I have a bunch of junk up front. No fuel tanks, 2 cabinets, life raft, flare kit, and 4 of those bouncy rubber bumper thingys :)

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

teagues are 850 hsp..........96mph..........mercs 800 are 700 hsp........ 94.........300 more hsp.you have 2 mph on me......do the math....................mark........

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

and how many trouble free hours?.....................m.m....

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

Actually, the Teagues are 905 hp at 5500 rpm. I have 2 MPH on you, so i did the math. Damnit I must have the slowest Apache on the planet. Thats it, I'm getting rid of the life raft and 4 rubber bumper thingys up front !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drink:

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

So the Apache's are generally a little heaver than say like my Hustler ?

What years did they build the 41's?

Thanks

Rob :D

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

1983-present

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

they are all over the place weight wise...........m.m.......
carl ask tanner about the weight............his buddy paully was at the crain when they weighed it.............mark......just because you never heard about it dont mean it aint so............like how many hours have you run since rerigg..............mark.........

Re: greatest apache ever?
 

A crane scale ? Now theres an accurate measurement instrument.............. :p

I have 30 hours running since rebuild, no problems so far. 100 hour warranty on the motors. The Teague motors are very user friendly. They start, idle, and run like a pair of 500 mercs. Very smooth. Throttle response is awesome because if the EFI system. The other nice thing about them is the fuel burn, about 15-20% less fuel at 4000 rpm compared to the Merc 800SC that were in the boat before.
