Buyer Beware....
The boat absorbed water when it sank and it never ran again.
I can go into more details if needed but I won't want to see someone spend good money on a boat that doesn't run. Bobby Moore who originally rigged the boat advised us wisely to stay away.

Ed, just so you can not have your foot in your mouth this time, "official business" is Tom Meshinsky, when the boat came for sale a couple years back i went straight to the source to learn the history. That being said, is the boat savable? YES, but it needs to be totally gone through, I hope someone buys it and does it justice for it's history.
I appreciate your concern with my foot & mouth. That must taste terrible?! I know fully who he is. I also appreciate his enlightening point about submerged Apache hulls & water absorption. The rest should be easy.

Buyer Beware....
My dad is the original owner and when he owned it the boat sank in our back yard. We still have the original trailer for the boat.
Then the boat was sold to someone in Texas and they put a swim platform and padded the engine hatches. After a test ride the gentleman in Texas demanded his money back.
