Geez I wish people would switch to Vimeo or something a little newer. The constant buffering and crap Comcast gives me, not to mention Flash.

Another great video

Got any more pics of it?

Basal skull fracture, same thing that killed Dale Earnhart.

41' Apache has always been one of my choices!:drink:

Meanstreak and 41st Airborne chasing (but not catching) Allez Vite.

Allez Vite...Merc 1000's..........Pure excitement!

Skater 46SS Supreme....:drink:

Actually, C & G 850's then. Merc 1000's cam in Key West that year (1991).

Thanks for the correction. Let's have a look at Allez Vite with the power upgrade.....

FreezeFrame......thanks for the videos!

Any idea how fast they were running in that video?

ApachePete owned and raced Allez Vite when that video was taken.........maybe he will chime in and tell us? Another question....what was the performance difference between the C&G 850's and the Merc 1000's? I believe Allez Vite could eclipse 100 mph. It was also one of the first offshore powerboats to employ the K Drive (possibly WarHawk was first) which later became Mercury Racing's VISSM. Impressive powerboat, then & now!

51 Outerlimits is the best v bottom rough water boat I've ever owned or been in. Very impressive to say the least!

You tell em man!!:D Coming from a guy who owned the all mighty Apache!:evilb:

Let us all in on it what your claiming. Show the video of it running 6' to 8' plus seas. Love to see it. Don't forget the build quality of an Apache Powerboat!

Let me think......seeing as how I have seat time in most if not all of them I think I am qualified to at least offer an opinion......if I was going to build a new boat for myself for my personal use I would find one of the original Apaches and redo it to my liking!!!!!

Pantera is also bred from the rough water racing circuit as well and has eat up the big water!!!!

Kramer's 47...........unfinished business........

Pantera 41, Sunday 28th August UIM Marathon World Cup Cowes - Torquay and back to Cowes, distance 200 miles in the English channel, Watch and learn about the “Best rough water boat ever”

Pantera builds a great offshore boat.

A 06' Sea Ray 480 Dancer ;) not a high preformance boat but handles the rough amazing, never bouces a bit

Glorified clorox bottle. :lolhit: None the less nice boats..


Cigs, apache, pantera, make some great heavy lay ups.. Even old excali's..

John jr

hey half million dollar boat you cant down talk down about it lol

size versus capability

donzi 16

That's another thread. In it I agree the 16 Donzi is the boss.

For boats under 50' I would says the 47Apache. For boats 50'-100' I think it would be the Nor-Tech 80 yacht. Over 100' I would vote for the 124' Ermis2. All those boats run over 60knots.

I think this thread was more of a rhetorical question, everybody know's it's a Fountain! :food-smiley-007:

:party-smiley-004:

You mean a "Bajatain"? :lolhit: mind as well call them "funtoons" :)

What do you guys that know about such things think about the Coyotes/Sonics? Are these essentially cigarettes? I now own the PUTT PUTT resin rocket. Doing a rebuild after some bad electronic ju-ju.

:evilb:

There's no question as to the reputation of Apache's in the big, love the Skater's but I am kinda keen to see how the 426 Skater V/Cummins fairs out running the Bermuda challenge. I know not expect any vid's like Razz running the rough out of this boat but 20 hours running the ocean in a sit down is a testiment to how the hull handles....To take the challenge title back, the boat has to survive and I assume the operators would like to get out of the boat unassisted - would take a good hull and favourable seas.

For fun in the nasty under 40' - old school 36 Widebody Cig

Now that this thread is back up.....Its pretty well know how a 41 Apache handles the rough, but I would be curious to see which boat you guys think handles the rough better: A 36 Apache or a Flat bottom 38 Top Gun? Anyone ever ridden in both boats?
