Yeah Apaches are not immune to rough water damage. Were the crack is I wonder if that is were the stern stringers transition to the bow via different pieces.

Very repairable.
I cracked 2 41 Apaches in the same place. The race boat was fixed by Skater, and continued to race. Nykamp had it for several years, and it’s still running around Michigan today

Looks to be running with the bow too high and landing too far back on the hull. Maybe some tab would've helped there. Easy to say sitting here though.

Seems to me Pete Markey cracked Little Ceasar's (also 47') at a race out of Grand Haven Michigan many years ago. But I'm told LOTO is waaay rougher...😆
