whos got info on 42' mcmanus comanche
 

how many were out there?

twins or triples?

others on the board will have additional info, but I believe there are a handful of these boats. I know of at least two,"Team Prime", which is for sale, and "Creative Force Returns", which was sold recently.
Both run big power triples !
Awesome boats !

Thought about it-

There's also "Snakedance", "Mega-Toy"(was a charter boat in Miami), and "Off Duty"...
Can't think of any others.

fred kiekhafer used to own off duty and he kept it on the detroit river in harbor town but i have not seen fred or the boat is some time

rockstrmkr,
Wasn't "Off-Duty" Fred Kiekhaefer's boat? Does he still own it?

Creative Force Returns is a twin engine staggered set-up.

Last time I seen Off Duty it was for sale at Fort Apache, the winter of 2000. Have not seen it pop up since.

There was one built for Mario Andretti called Heart- something ....with only twin 500hp motors

White with red accents

Too Old I agree with you. Ever since I saw that boat I’ve wanted to do a dash with cartoon icons.

Off-Duty was recently owned by a guy from Nassau. I am pretty sure Andrettis boat was a 41 Apache.

just saw creative force returns at shooters this sunday (AWSOME) the new owner raced somethig in the glscs races on the eastside

Creative Force Returns
 

I am Searching for this 42 Apache Comanche McManus Named Creative Force Returns my deceased father Michael Pardes was the original owner in north Miami Beach I want to restore it and keep forever in his memory please help me find it https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...62ebbaca4.jpeg

I’m sorry to correct you but it was triple

bored? digging up threads that are 23 years old to tell a board member whom passed away probably 15 years ago he's wrong?

Thanks

well, it totally makes sense for him to dig that tread if he is looking for his father's boat... to me at least !

Would you happen to know who bought creative force returns and possibly where she is located ?

I meant no disrespect, a good friend of my father Michael Pardes who was (the original owner) Richie Powers personally took him to Apache and creative force returns was born. He was very involved in the design and build of creative force returns and was very proud of the staggered trip 800’s in his memory I wanted to set the record straight, I apology if I offended anyone in doing so but my late father and owner of creative force returns memory is equally as important.

Thanks for the support, I’m hoping to get lucky I’m even trying to get in touch with an old friend I went to high school with 30 years ago in north Miami Beach who happened to be one of the builders of the boat. His name is Curtis Chapman he and his father are both brilliant wood workers, and most likely were involved in the building of every boat ever built there as part of the team. I Thought it would be really cool to have Curtis help me restore her. I’m planning on making him an offer he can’t refuse (financially that is) So I am looking for creative force returns and an old friend Curtis Chapman who worked at Apache . any help is greatly appreciated

thank you all

Couldn’t agree more.

And if he can add information, of course he should set the record straight.

Good luck with your search. Following anxiously!
