I say real world no BS speed of 83. Ain't nothing wrong with that in a 41 with 525s. BTW...that's one sharp boat, glad to see a boat with freeboard again.

I will put an 87 number on it for every mile an hour under I will pay you $1000 BUT for every mile an hour over you pay me $1000.....So do we have a bet?????

If I had $1000 to waste on a bet I'd be back into a boat by now.

Awsome! This is what ive been waiting to see!! Maybe its time to sell the old Cig and move up in size!! I think a full plessure version with a pair of Illmore v10's ! I just dont understand the 525's with 6's, I understand this combo is completly bullet proof but isnt there a ton of power loss through those big drives with those motors??

Pretty much P1 rules for superstock class

Hahaha! Ask stinson about the Pacific, he's been caught slippin out here before! :eek: the big blue will bite'cha when you least expect it.

It appears, with that package, you could run out in some big water, lay the sticks down and sip a martini in that beast!


Just to clarify, this is an older apache mold that was stepped? Thought I read that somewhere.

boatme 06-06-2010 05:27 PM

big water can be difficult no matter where ya go just depends on the day

It was the mold that Thad Allen had toole dwhen the new revived Apache was coming on line before all the bs now then the steps you have to talk to Pepe about but I am pretty sure you can still get a straight bottom version....

The Pacific......most peoples rough is calm to us....Pt Conception is a good one to try to compare you silly little bumps to.....

boatme 06-06-2010 05:38 PM

Just to clarify, this is an older apache mold that was stepped? Thought I read that somewhere.

THIS IS NOT AN OLDER MOLD. This is a newly tooled and impproved version of the original 41. The original lines and measurements came directly from the Warpath race boat, but was done the old fashioned way. Then the tooling was built from foam based on those measurements. There were some major flaws in the way the company did the tooling and Steve 1 and his brothers did some serious re-work to get the tooling straight as the so-called tooling work was poorly done. The tooling was a major job since we straightened the bottom and sharpened the edges - the way it was originally done it incorporated ALL the flaws of the original 41...so we fixed, straightened and sharpened EVERYTHING.

This included "inches" of additional height to make the bottom straight and level as the original tooling had a bad rocker in it.
It was all done as a non-stepped hull with a new and improved straight bottom, NO ROCKER!!!

Then Pantera bought the tooling and made it their own by adding a stepped insert to modify and improve the running surface - this IS NOT the T4 that Steve 1 was tooling up, it is the original straight bottom molded 41 that was to be a retro version of the original for the new Thad Allen Apache.

hope this helps!:drink:

BattleCry 06-08-2010 04:10 AM

Did Cosker design the step bottom that is underneath it?
