Carbed, not as wild as some others, side by side not staggered, questionable colors for some people no doubt, but it is the real deal. I have to admit, I have thought about it, (Gucci) but who hasn't daydreamed about 1 or all of the Apache's in the classifieds for a few minutes??? The other boats are less practical for what I would like in most ways, might rather have a newer boat for the cost of some of the pricier Apache, either v-bottom or cat. The race cockpits and glass engine covers etc are as practical as a cat anyway, depending on how/where you boat or how many boats one is able to own. |
Apache Star 1350's and M8 drives, nice resto/mod!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lejVkEsGthg warpaint or yellow warpath are both more attractive in my eyes. the 1350s would be cool but after reading on the m8 drive problems people have had I'd rather have some old school drives behind 850-1000. also pretty sure i read Gucci is tape not paint or gel as far as design... that turns me off 100%. I'm not a take my family out for a Sunday cruise kinda guy. I'm more head out an let em hang while everyone else hides at the dock... my favorite times running any boat I've been in were when it was roughest. |
also... I'm not dreaming I'm hearing all sides before I make a decision like this... just towing / storing a rig this big has to be planned an thought out. turns a $150,000 boat into a $300,000 boat before you ever turn the key...
also how would insurance be on a 41 compared to a cat? cat insurance is the reason I'm not even interested... |

Apache Star has been well received, but as we all know the only man that has to like it is the guy paying for what he wants (Anything custom built is like that). The M8 drive I believe has had some teething issues, they have been addressing them (others would know far better than me about that high dollar hardware). Mark Adams Marine Management usually has some nice Apache Powerboats to choose from, might want to give him a call and see if he has something you like? Good hunting PNP! Hope this helps.

also wanted to thank everyone for contributing to one of the best threads about this subject I have read... keep it going.

how does the 42 chief compare in the classifieds?
if someone doesn't mind run through the apache/ chief / Cherokee saga please. Hope to have both 42's at the Shoot Out in a few weeks, if your around look me up and you can look the boats over yourself. |
Eddie, would love to see Warpath charging hard post-Shootout.

I like the look of the headdress 42 chief... What separates chief, cherokee, and apache and what are the reasons? Bobby s rigs / has rigged both chief and apaches correct? Are the chief boats their own mold design or a stretched apache? Still looking and kicking around the idea of owning an apache. |
Think it's all the same mold. Along with the one off checkmate
