Congratulations "Tony Montana" on the 36 Apache
 

Joe headed to South Florida with the Apache today, where it belongs. After having it on our lake in Oklahoma all of its life, it is going to some real water. Other than Grand, it has been to LOTO once, and tested on Lake X twice.

I know exactly how Steve felt yesterday whe the OSO Gladiator left. It really does feel like losing a friend and family member all rolled into one:traurig001: :traurig001: :traurig001:

From going out in the middle of December to let my best friends ashes fly in the lake that he loved, to all of the great days and nights spent on the water. "Old Faithful" is now gone. About the only time we drove it in the last three years is when the rest of the E-Dock crew had mechanical failures. At least a young family will get use and as much enjoyment out of it as I have.

Joe and I have both jumped through hoops in the last 7 days to make this happen, and now it is official.

Like I said last night Joe, take care of her and she will take care of you.

Joe on the sea trial.

i think I am going to curl up in a ball and cry.:traurig001:
That was my favorite v bottom boat on Grand.

Bub,
anything to replace it in the works?

After I quit slamming my head in the door for even thinking about selling it, I'll figure that out later. Probably a 460 Sea Ray for now. I get plenty of the speed thing riding with everyone else.

I hear you. Your pretty good as designated captian.
Worst case senario, you get to drive the Carver.:D

Congrats I guess on the sale.

Fin

wass up tuff guy :)
the new apache kid :)

Memories

here's a few.

Come to think of it, the boat has seen some women in its day:party-smiley-020:

Congrats Joe!

Let me know when you get home. Want to make sure everything went well on the trip home.

Buck

Congrats, Goodluck on the new purchase:D

Warparty was one of my favorites as well. Glad the boat is going to the big water if it couldn't stay at GLOC.

Congrats to Bubba and Joe.

Just got off the phone with Joe a few minutes ago. He was going through Little Rock. Has a long drive ahead of him. All was going well though. I could see him grinning through the phone. :D

Buck

The Apache will be missed. It was a boat that everbody knew on the water.

Hell, now I'm crying and I was only on the boat once. What a great boat!

My wife and I are very happy with our new Wave CRUSHER:D :cool-smiley-011: Don't worry Bubba we will take good care of her:boat: Thanks for every thing Bub:cool-smiley-011: Long trip ahead still but can't wait to get home.

Talked to Joe this morning and he was still smiling:D

I was so worried about keeping up with you, the drives and tabs were all the way up:rolleyes:

you can tell you had it trimmed to the moon with the hop the boat has when you are running it :)
down here in south fl, ocean you cant trim the boat out like that . other wise you will be looking at the moon :)

jo , can't wait to go out and run with you when you get that boat in the water .

Hey Bub, here are a couple I have.

I totally agree. She was hopping, but on our pond, it would take an act of Congress to get that thing out of the water.:cool-smiley-011:

one of my favorites. congrats to both the seller and buyer.

Well just got home a little while ago. What a trip but the boat towed perfect:cool-smiley-011: Can't wait to get her in some big water. She is a head turner thats for sure. On the way back every time we stopped some where it was like a circus. I told my wife at one point I was going to put a tent up and charge admission to view it:circle: Thanks again Bubba hope to take you out when you come to FL

Glad you made it home ok, now lets see it:cool-smiley-011:

Here are a couple back home.:signs069:
