Comparison question (Apache & Cigarette) strictly research.
Ok,,, from doing my reading (homework) on OSO; I have read the Apache mold is a relative of the Cigarette family. My question is this: Why didn't more older flat deck Cigs get rigged more in line like the Apaches?
For example: a 1986 Cigarette Flat Deck,, Merc 420's and TRS drives, a 1986 Apache came with big power and number 3's.. Just a question....
Last question: If you had a 86 Cigarette 38' and a 86 Apache 41' rigged with the same power which boat would be faster? and why?

1. It is the customers decision on power. Some want reliable, some want speed. You could put 3's and big power in a 38 back then as well.
2. If neither one had a cabin, the Cigarettes going to have less weight and probably be a little faster.
The Cig you have for and example is set up as more of an Island running cruiser. Heres a better example of a 1986 38 Flat Deck.

Understandable....
I can understand the niche marketing that Apache was targeted at....
How about this question,,, was there ever an Apache built with so called "reliable" horesepower?
If so what was the smallest HP ever put into a 41'? I doubt many came out of Bobby's shope with 330hp mercs... lol

It a guy in the Cigarette forum that posted under the 38 flat deck thread. He completely restored it, obviously. Check it out.

I don't know yet, I am supposed to be driving people around, because my dad won't drive the Apache. Everyone keeps calling me from the Ozarks rubbing it in.
Big Mac just called and wants to go. He is calling Michael and Grant and will call me back.
