Story behind Legend White Lightning?
 

I came across an ad for a 1999 41 Legend White Lightning while browsing the classified section. I can distinctly remember seeing the boat for sale at Fort Apache in 2000. Does any one know the history of this boat? It looks a lot like an Apache/Saber. I'm just curious to learn more about this boat.

Thanks

Here's a picture

A gentleman by the name of Steve Radovich of Seattle built it and had about 800k in it. It is suppossedly afull composite boat and yes it is a little bit narrower version of the 41 Apache. I have seen it crawled through it and has some beautiful rigging in it. Don't know why it didn't sell but thats all I can tell you about it so far. BTW it was donated and is currently for sale at The Aqua Toy Store.

Thanks for the replies. Any one know what kind of speeds its running? Should be significant with Merc 1000 and 6's on boxes.

there was a rumor that she "went for a swim" at one point. No idea if it was true or not. I believe it was becasue it had brand spankin new upholstery put in and then was mysteriously reupholstered in the same color a short time after the first reupholstery.

One Off Boat
 

If you buy this thing, it is really with the intent to keep it.

It is one off, meaning there are no others to the best of my knowledge.

I had some interest in this boat at one time , but everytime I showed up to look at it , it had either motor problems or the motors were out. So if you are serious , check the motors out real good...

I saw the boat at the Toy Store in Lauderdale in 2001 and it looked nice. I think the one-off thing may scare a lot of potential buyers, as well as it seems that no one really knows the builder. I thought that I read he builds or has built sail boats and that the quality and rigging of White Lightening was very good. The thing must run at about the 100 mph range with the 6's on boxes and not much in terms of cabin weight, nice sled...Matt

I looked at this boat today at Aqua toy store, and I can tell ya the thing is simply amazing, but Puder hit it pretty good, the interior is terrible , falling apart in my hands, not even stainles staples??? Somebody hacked part of the original back seat area out, and never bothered to resin over the core material???

BUT, the hardware is amazing, and the wiring, and rigging , oh my god, simply amazing.

Got a buddy looking at it for the second time in the few years that it has been sitting, whaddaya guys think of it?????

You took pics right??

I gave you my input on the boat. If the deal is right, very right, it would be a good thing. It is a one-off so resale probably wont be the best. But as said the rigging and wiring it had when I saw it were impeccable. Sea Trial and don't be afraid to run it when you do.

I have a video of it running and they said it was doing 100mph, who knows but it looked awesome and i would like to buy it right.

Believe me, I'm not pitching for the business, but GET IT SURVEYED if you're serious. Moisture test, compression and leak-down...EVERYTHING!
