you would be very surprised how NOT hard Apache and Cigs land, I have yet to feel that "pounding" in my Cig that the Baja gave me...

In watching that video, I was cringing because I could feel the spines compressing. Need a traction table after that ride. But none the less bad a$$. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that an Apache is the boat that all others (except for maybe Cigarette's) aspire to be.:party-smiley-004:

Yea, I got caught between Destin and Gulf Shores trying to get back when a storm came up. I don't think the water was that big but it was a miserable ride back to say the least. It was fun for the first 15 minutes, after that not so much. Just wanted to get back.

How long did it take you to dry out the boat after that ride? And how many fillings did you loose?

Thats one of Brownies boats, I doubt he had to do much after that ride besides put it on the trailer....

Same thing in my PowerPlay, no bone jarring hits, wonderful hull for the slop.

I boat mostly in Long Island Sound, one of the best waters for boating IMO. Usually fun slop during the summer, however during the dog days of late July-early August it gets flat as a pancake at times. However it kicks up plenty when it feels like it, for instance when all the contestants turned around during last years's Don Aronow run.

I'm guessing not much of this on the Great Lakes.
