Is it normal to put two different drives on a tripple engine? Whats the reasoning behind it.

No kidding. Those pics make me want to throw up.

It seems like we either see Apaches that have had millions of dollars put into them, or see the ones that look like they might not even float. How could anyone let a 47, of all rare Apaches, turn into this.

Hopefully someone will buy it & put the "Spirit of Apache" or "Paleface" treatment to it. It's got too much potential to see it just rot away any further.

yes it is, the three is longer then the fives and keeps all the X dims where they should be. The center motor needs a longer drive because of the depth of the V

She looks pretty humble but like an old Vette in a barn she deserves another lease on life . . . . . could use a good glass guy

Did captain America own that thing at one time? lol

Has the potential to be one of the all time money pits.

Hopefully some offshore enthusiast with a deep love of Apache's and even deeper pockets will step up to the plate and restore her to her original glory.
She was tearing it up in the rough water at speed in the YouTube video.
It's most certainly going to take a lot of coin to bring this one back.

I'm curious as to what members feel this boat is worth in it's current condition???
I'm no expert but would say 10-15k plus or minus.

See ya,
Kelly

I just tossed a pic from 28V's link



What a great looking boat.
