Thanks for the support guy!!!, I could not find a Apache on that site myself. It has been a hard decision for me to make, but I think I found a local buyer, I will know more on Friday.

Well the boat did not sell on Ebay, I have had offers but not what I thought it would be!!!, I decided to repower the boat and maybe sell it??? What do you think of the new power??? I have been back and forth on this subject enuff, I am stuck with the boat and I need to make it right!!!!

after all that time effort & $ u try selling don't get what u expect n you wanna stuff those bad boys n it n try again...? If you put those motors n that boat you hAve just gotta run it & enjoy it, you know if u got it right it would be what you want

Once you bolt those into it, it's game over. All it takes is one time blowing past a 35 Fountain struggling to keep up in 3 footers and you'll be hooked on your little big boat. That and no monthly payment

Are those 575's? They look sweet. All they need is a set of big oval blue-anodized arrestors on them. Get 'em engraved "Apache Brave".

Be aware, some of the earlier Gil/Merc manifolds had thinness issues. If they were going to have a problem, most likely they would have by now. have them pressure tested and clean them out & look inside. You can use one of those fiber-optic borescopes and look in thru the water inlets- pull a freeze plug or two if you need to.

I was surprised where the Ebay auction ended up.

Nice what are the 'details' on those mills? specs? where'd you find them? etc etc...

Pleased you are beginning to come around back outa the funk

Chris

Boat is sold to a board member!!! He is a great guy and will finish the boat the way it should be done. Thanks to Chris Sunkin for helping out in the sale, Chris is a great guy and I thank him for helping me!!

Congrats to both parties on the sale.
At least you took a portion of my advice, and sold it to someone that is gonna have the desire to finish her up right. I got a little of the inside scoop, and know where she's going.
That boat will fit right in for the water she'll be on.
I look forward to seeing her in person myself.
I know I rode ya hard about getting her done, and I still think you'll be kicking yourself in the azz, but you sold to a good guy that will certainly appreciate what he got.

Chris - are you sidelining as a broker now too?? or did you just not have enough space to drag another project home for yourself??

Jack of all trades, I am.

Chris helped me out to find me a board member ( Fundrazor) to buy my boat, and he will get it finished. I will now be on to my next boat?

Chris, I usually refer to myself as te "jerk"of many trades. Take that for what it is.
Don't worry Bill, I have confidence John will make you proud of all the work you've already put in her.
Yeah, and if time allows, I may be the newest "hauler" on the board.
Only this one doesn't end up in the chipper
