'91, wasn't that about the time that Apache was building
boats on Thunderboat row and McManus was building
Apaches in Fort Meyers ? But the two were not the same company.

Then after some legal rangling McManus started calling his boats Commanche. ? .

I would expect bigger horse power for $ 1/4 large.

This isn't something that a guy that's shopping for a new Fountain considers. This is something that a guy who just spent $2.5 mil on a vintage Ferrari considers.

Call McManus and ask how much to have one done- no different than LipShip. BIG money.

WOW. I guess it is like spending $100k to trick out a 95 Impala - to the owner with money to burn, no problem. Resale will be non-existent at invested costs. I say at half the price it would not sell.

...but is it worth what it cost? If you sunk a million bucks into a mobile home, it still wouldn't be worth what you put into it. Don't get me wrong - I'm not comparing this boat to a mobile home, but on the other hand, "Barrett-Jackson" collector car pricing has yet to invade the boating world.

..and NO cabin or engine bay shots?
