I didnt see the big power thing i could have swore it said the same power it came with and i cant find the ad either not sure if it sold or not. But i saw a nice 28 apache in the classifies for 32500 454 blowers in it.

Great project ...been following this thread since the day... as a fan. But every time I've seen it come up toward the top recently I get queazy. Very objective member here.

walk away from it for awhile until you get some motivation back, then finish it and enjoy it. it is one of the funnest boats you can own.

I have it listed for 38,000, but I will take 34,000 for boat, Trailer, covers, all used parts, all new parts and all the extra's I have for the boat, new motors and you have a brand new 28 Apache!!!!!!!

I am going to try Ebay and see what happens!!!! I have found a boat I am going to buy, if the Apache does not sell I will finish the boat when I get a chance and sell it later!!!

Summer is all but over, just relax, sit back, have a beer, or 100, think about it and the difference between spending the money on a new boat or building 2 engines and basicly haveing an all new classic next season. It seems to me that you really need to walk away from the 28 for a month or 2 and get your head clear. Remember what the bidding was like when you bought it and how you got it. I don't think you will do any better this time of year with bad motors reguardless of how it looks. 2 motors are alot cheaper than a new used boat and you will know exactly what you have.

Just get the cig and get out there.
$25k will get the 28 gone.
But if i see the thread "38TG Cig, Sell it or Finish it" i'm gonna lmao.

Oh man I was waiting for that one But somehow I dought 25 will do it eather way. And the Cig will take soooo much more $$$$$. we all know a used boat is just that and it never ends. Time will tell

It'd be nice to squeeze as much $ out of the brave as you can, but if the 10k is gonna break the deal from getting the Cig, then i think a twin engine cig may a bit much for you.
With a 38TG, $10k is a drop in the bucket.(if you do it right).

I am looking at a 30ft mystique, I just dont want to finish the boat or drop more money into it at this point, I already have 25,000 in the purchase of the Apsche and over 24,000 in resto work!!, that could have been a great down payment on a newer boat!!!!
