I hope whoever purchases that boat gets some sort of rewards for purchasing gas on their credit card, or owns a gas station. Beautiful boat!

Im sure the bank would let you take out a loan to purchase....LOL. Nice boat though! Love the paint.

1992 , half a mil. ummm ok
Hope there`s like $300,000 in Gold bars in the cuddy.. oh wait no cuddy lol

but but but it says apache! :whistle:

Hell, half a mil and you don't even get a set of props!

Hahah I thought the same thing :)

But they are kind enough to give you a trailer!

Wire transfer only too dammit! My cash is no good!
Back under the matress

LOL......$495k. Awesome!

I thought it was a fake ad at first! The fact the boat is named Patriot and it is misspelled throughout the ad as patroit, the no props part and the 495k price.....

500k you could probably get 2 47's......BA/PF come to mind.

Here's a selling point. He lists other Apache owners including
"Many other dictators, rulers & famous individuals "

or how about the get a quote from GEICO placed in the ad !

I thought Bush Sr. was a Fountain guy?

I made an offer on it, but, the deal hinges on if he will allow me 350K trade in for my 24 Outlaw, lol

I remember seeing a quarter page ad in the back of Performace Boats or one of the now out of business publications where this boat was for sale. It was a while ago...

Yup, this boat has been for sale for quite awhile.

Nothin like adjusting 48 valves lash, 24 spark plugs, 3 fuel strainers, oil levels on 3 blowers oilpans, transmissions, drives......


Wow- alot to do.

It is a gorgeous boat.

I could be wrong, but, I think the boat was built by, or for, Elias Dellatorre, not sure if I spelled it right, he is boat dealer out of Florida who used to run a SERIOUS 10" tire turbo car, seen it in Orlando a few times at the "World Street Nationals"

No he built Spirit of Apache which was another 47 but pleasure version, and yes he own Plantation Boat Mart in the FL keys.

If you've ever ridden in one, or driven one in 4-6 footers, you'll agree that it's worth every penny.

Having seen this one up close, the detail and finish work is awesome. I envy the new owner, but not his fuel bill.

Friggin resin bucket.........3000HP for 105mph? LOL!!!!

Yeah, but with no props! The pressure from the exhaust pushes it to 105, the drives just steer it. LOL!
Beautiful Apache nonetheless.

Better get some hats and t-shirts at that price.

yes but thats in 4 to 6 footers while playing scrabble on the dash.

;)

make a few runs on lake michigan in a tissue paper & elmers glue boat with a 525 and you will appreciate some weight under your azz.

dont think a old school built boat would have broke like that donzi did. you hit the side of my boat its like hitting concrete, ive hit a few that actually shocked me how much they moved.

I know, its friggin awesome right?

Dropping 500K on a cigarette, Outerlimits or similar high end boat would probably get you a ride that would be able to hang with most, if not all, old school boats. However, some of the newer low end boats leave A LOT to be desired when it comes to quality and strength.

How fast is "Kemosabe"? What power does it have?

never rode in a 500k anything, i would love to see some video of one running in rough water like the lucky strike video on youtube. then maybe i would believe, but when i had my 226 baja in rough water it wouldnt keep up with my friends 235 four winns sundowner, totally embarassing. that light boat ran a real 70 with a 330merc. , but was aweful in the rough.

Find someone on YouTube, or here, with a Cig Marauder or Outerlimits 47GTX and see if they have video of them running in the rough.

Has triple chiefs with blowers. Can't remember the HP, but it's a lot!

I thought it ran around the 117 mark, I could be wrong though. John has an awesome boat!
