Cool Apache project.
 

Interested in having someone convert my 28 Apache into 6 man stand-up configuration.Anyone in the Northeast here interested?Probably need to do some work on the helm.Also would like a nice light weight race hatch{s}Any ideas what a project like this may cost?Lets hear some ideas.

I know the yeller boat is 5 man-up just trying to get the point across.

I always thought that if I was going to design a new interior I would have 2 bolsters up front that were modified to move up or down so that I could sit down without getting wind blasted on a colder day, or stand up/sit down and get wind blasted on a hot day. I would also have slots built into the middle of the right and left bolsters so that I could insert and remove a matching back padding at leisure to create an hybrid 2-3 man bolster. The removable seat wouldn't have a bottom on it but who cares- you won't be sitting in it. I have seen this concept done once before. I think it may have been an outerlimits or a black thunder. The model had twin sidebyside bolsters located on the right, the walk thru was on the left and there were two slots built into the wall and the bolster with a removable extra back support. This concept would bring a lot of buyers if you decided to sell later.

If it had only three regular bolsters up front it might make it harder to sell

Dare to be different:cool:

Re: Cool Apache project.
 

I think 2 w/ a removable center would be a good idea... like in an OL.

Re: Cool Apache project.
 

Sometimes, different is better. Other times, it's just "different"

Keep in mind, you'll likely narrow the field dramatically if you ever want to sell it.

I would like to add a center slide-in bolster at some point. It would be nice for passengers on those days when someone is stuck standing in the middle....:eek:

There was a 28 @ the Lauderdale Boat show a few years ago that McManus had converted. into a six pack

Re: Cool Apache project.
 

I thought you were selling your Apache? It's still listed in the classy's. What kind of shape is the cabin in? Got any pics.?

Re: Cool Apache project.
 

Changed my mind.Not for sale.No cabin pics.sorry.

Re: Cool Apache project.
 

IF you're gonna go 6-pack, this sounds like best option.

If you running at speed with 6 people, you might wanna sell and go with a bigger boat...

Re: Cool Apache project.
 

We had that in our Fountain. It was a cool feature. I've been on Outerlimits with it and is works great. That would be your best bet to keep the resale up but an old school six man rocks!

Re: Cool Apache project.
 

Don does all my work. You will be very pleased.

Good Luck

Joker had this on a new 38' cig topgun a few years ago. There are pics somewhere on the forum and I'm sure he has some. From what I recall it was smaller than a full size bolster and he may have done it for the children:)
