Question. Then why was/is Mr. McManus so damn successful with the Apache brand, without being a racer or engineer or whatever else?

Did he build any of these?

It is a beautiful powerboat, I see it in Clark NJ. That is all I know about it.

But the ride is what counts in rough water.If you boat in calmer water and you want to go fast,the others are great.

True story:
Last summer we did a poker run on the bay,about 90 boats of all sizes and shapes,great fun.As the day went on the water got 4-5 ft in some places.At the end of the day people in other boats of equal size and bigger stated how rough it had gotten.My wife looked at me and did not understand what they were talking about.In calmer water they were faster but not at the end of the day????

"There's your sign"


Those are my favorite stories to hear.:D

Ok now that this has become an educational thread can someone tell me what James Caan played in all this? I read once he was a backup driver but don't know if it was a joke? There is also a video(Apache offshore challange) with him in it talking about the boats.

At that time he was the chief inhaler/snorter of some of the products that the kramer family "imported" plus I think he owned the boat (apache offshore challenge). lots a stars back then.
