36 Apache?
 

there has been a lot of discussion on this board about the 41 Apache. Does anyone have first hand information about the 36 Apache? Construction? Rough water ability? Etc. Is it as good a boat as the 41 as far as sound construction?

what, am I going to have to move this to the Apache owners' forum???????I want comments from non-apache owners too, if you got them

Same boat minus a five foot section taken out of the cabin.

I don't think so !?!?!?!?!!??

It's not? If not, my bad... That's what I was led to believe. Sorry if I'm incorrect. ;)

The point of entry (bow sections) don't look alike at all ... I gotta go with the 36 Apache being a designated mold ... The 36 Mcmanus Comanche on the other hand looks exactly like a hacked up 41 .

Hey .... I'm post whorin' ... cool !:D

That's the 36 I was thinking of, my mistake........WHORE!:D

Totally different boats. I saw WARPARTY36's and "Bullroar" during their production many times. I've been in WARPARTY (36) hundreds of times and it is solid. Every bit as strong as the bigger models. Great rough water boat.

The cockpits are just a little smaller than say a Top Gun. You could get a classic style engine hatch or a "recessed" hatch at the time, super cool. The dashes are layed out great. Apholstry on the dash and gauges on the fairing. They had a cabin door that slid up and down.

They ride level and don't porpose. No real need for tab. Definitely a bad ass design.

is Warpart36's an Apache or a McManus Comanche?

The 36 is a smaller version of the 41, but different Deck and liner. Same bottom.

Its an Apache. Bullroar and his were built at the same time.

36 APACHE
 

The cockpits on the 1994 and older are very tight but for ruff water running the people in the back seat can hang on to the grab handle on the back of the front bolsters while standing or seated. In 1995 Bobby moved the back seat back 6 ". Those are still pretty tight, the 36's have nice head room downstairs. My buddy keeps his at SPINNAKERS in the winter so keep an eye out for her going by your house. Steve

Thanks, Steve, I'll keep an eye out for it, what is the name?

36 APACHE
 

She called THUNDERSTRUCK it's a1994 it was the next one built after mine, my freinds LITTLE TOMMY and kathy own her. they are buddys with MAGNUM MARK AND LUCY.

Thunderstruck is an awesome boat! It handles Lake Michigan ruff water very well. I've never been on it but have run beside her. I understand a 41 would handle ocean waves a little better, as ocean waves are a little farther apart than Lake Michigan waves.

Nykamp's Dragon's Breath is an awesome 36 as well. I've only seem pics of it, so far.
Steve, I need to get up your way this summer with my boat.

I have all kinds of pictures if you would like me to post some. I will be happy to answer any questions if you have them. I don't know a whole lot of specifics on the build process, but they handle rough water great. There are no rattles, and there are very few screws to tighten. The only complaint I have on mine is there are NO CUP HOLDERS.:D
