The year I was turn boat in Patchogue I drove my boat from Sandy Hook, NJ to Fire Island Inlet, NY in an 8-10 ft. ground swell. Long trip, was happy to get in the inlet after 1 1/2 hrs running, lots of concentration! Good thing it was a swell, it wouldn't pound you but you had to pay attention to GPS at all times not to drift out to the horizon into the swells.

been there, done that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Y3IBxTKrs Myself and John Arruda. We ran two more laps after this but our navigator was to scared and begged us to stop. We had to listen because it was Haggins wife at the time
After that race we made him a throttle man lol. The rest is history.
Nice Apache. The none stepped hull will never be faster then the OL 51, Regardless of the extra power.
God luck with the test.

It was water in the engine intake. The boat spun at 100+, and went backwards for a short while before coming to a rest.
The rear vents whee open for air, and the water flooded out one engine.
We fired it back up and continued.

Back in the 98-99ish time while a friend kept his 42 cig at American Offshore in Dania, I thought I remember a turbine Apache there. J Arruda we met there , though I doubt if you would remember me, your Comanche was there too. Is this that Apache if that boat was a Apache. John, do you remember that boat on a rack trailer? Joe the truck driver for Zen took it somewhere, I always wondered where.
