Unfortunately, when I think of the murder of Don Aronow, I also think of Ben Kramer. But the Brains behind Apache was Bobby S, Mark M and Don Aronow. Ben just provided the money and LISTENED as a schoolboy should. In the end he didnīt like being in that position and all went ****creek and McManus being the optimist he is tried to save the tribe which will never be the same. |

Being a tinkerer like I am and part of the hobby for me is to get my hands dirty I like to look at projects and therefore comparing Apaches to others. They ainīt for the hardware/materials included and the performance that comes with it priced hard but realistic IMO. Despite where can you buy a similar sized 90+mph boat for 250K or less if not an old Apache (racer) or easier, the upkeep and running is then another thing. The hard way would be to look for/build a boat with surface drives or another race boat and not be sure the project would turn out good... At least thereīs a lot of Info about rigging Apaches right here, try that with a Larry Smith 377 or a Formula with Kaama/ASDīs IMO those are on also on top of the food chain (and my wish list). Iīm sure this Iīm telling wonīt bump the prices of old projects as not many are capable of pulling them together. Iīm not that sure about myself either but I have a dream...someday A big rooster tail will follow me And Iīll be proud as a Cock. |

Bobby started Apache on 17th ave. By himself. Ben came along and like Victor Kiam [Remingtom Razor] liked the product so much he bought the company.

The first Apache is that 39 Squadron XII pictured above. The first Apache-built Apache came from the Aronow-designed & suppied 41' mold.
