Re: Apache I Am Sold
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys/gals, and for those who knock the idea of me owning a 41 someday can kiss my A**. It's the fact that Apache is still a legend in my book and that the majority of them that were built back in the 1980's are still around today. Yes there are faster and lighter boats then Apache's but thats just fine with me because there will always be a bigger faster boat anyways....... the day i pull up next to you on the water with a 41-47 Apache i will smile and wave at you reguadless of what brand of boat you have because i know its what you worked hard for and what you wanted.........we are all here to have fun with our toys on the water and everything else is just B.S.

I am 100% with you on that. I don't own one yet but I wil some day. There is something to be said about owning a legend thats built like a battle ship. |
Re: Apache I Am Sold
Without intending to knock any other boat brand,,,, if a bunch of boats are at the dock and one them is a nice old Apache, people will walk right by all the other boats to get a look at the "real thing". At least those people that know anything about offshore boats will.
Speed, speed, speed. Who cares. Anything can be made to go fast. Cool is cool, Apaches are cool. Tough is tough, Apaches are tough. History is important, Apaches wrote some of the best history. If I could own one, I would. (and so would most of the other guys here that won't admit it) |

Of course, as soon as I was done checking the old Apache at the dock,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'd be heading for your OL!!! :D |
Re: Apache I Am Sold
I grew up in the 70's and the 80's these boats were the chit! :evilb: Its what got me hooked.

Re: Apache I Am Sold
It all comes down to what ya like I guess...
I'd rather have a restored 69-71 Camaro SS or a 57 Chevy with a tube frame, tubbed out with a big block blower motor sticking out the hood instead of a new Corvette.... :cool: Old muscle Cars are the bomb, the new Mustangs, Corvetts etc. are for sissys! This is why I like Apache's and Cigs. :drink: |

Early in the vid, the landings looked a little violent, kinda bow heavy.

Re: Apache I Am Sold
That video is Offshore Legend ! And looks like a heck of a lot of fun .. Anyone who would knock that clip is a FOOL !

Re: Apache I Am Sold
Fanatic, yes, the boats and cars out of the factory today are faster then those from the past......but were not talking speed here......we are talking about legends.......and the saying is they don't make them like they used too.....thats why we restore these gem's because its a part of our history....so yeah if you want to compare new and old we know which one is probaly going to win........but honestly sometimes there is more to it then just speed.........and i know there are some fast old school Apache's around that will give the boats of today a run for their money~

What does a 2006 Bayliner and an 41 foot race Apache have in common? They both top out at the same speed! http://boatmad.com/forum/images/smilies/likeadrain.gif |
Re: Apache I Am Sold
They shine in the ruff stuff, at Smoke on the water, the 4, 41 Sabers showed what the 41's can do in the right water. If you live where the water gets big they still after all these years do a great job. Most of the boats on the first half of the run broke or didn't want to go out for the second half of the poker run. The dvd will be worth buying if you like air time shots. I love mine.

Re: Apache I Am Sold
My buddy owns a 67 vette 427 trips hes had it for39yrs and paid $5375.00 for it. I'd take that vette up against any new one. drives it 6 to 12 times a month. just like the 41 KEEPS going and going going. gee I think a beek boat blew the bottom out :eek: in the 2002 cape cod race that was 6 and 8 footers I even blew my bolster out :eek: that was rough some said the waves were bigger :eek: GREAT TAPE THANKS ART

What a great clip. balls to the wall offshore. Offshore racing is real !! we ran to POPRA/AMF Catalina Island Rum Run and back only last month. We ran the **** out of the platinum ask anyone on the run. steady run with speeds approaching 130 mph in seas.70 mile open ocean race. Only 25 boats showed for the event ...but these guys had the BALLS to do it. Offshore still lives in most of us on the racing circuit. Hats off to the old guard ..that type of racing is very challenging .... You'll see more of it from team AMF in the not to distant future. Haggin and team has set out to make a mark in offshore .. We have a little surprise coming for you guys :evilb: :D and you know we wouldn't let you down..... Marc Driver Platinum Princess |
